News in Childrens Religious Education During-Service Childcare

The RE Coordinating Team is happy to offer fresh new organized childcare for children during Sunday service. While families are welcome and encouraged to allow children to remain in the sanctuary during the sermon/homily each week, we do understand that many families truly benefit from having an alternative that allows their children to play outside of the service under good supervision. Care providers are comprised primarily of parents who choose to use this service, but any congregant can volunteer. Contact Melissa Garn, melissa.garn@uuwaco.org if youre interested in helping us make this service a success.
