Religious Education

While we seek a new Religious Education director, our RE program is in a time of transition. We strive to offer nursery care each Sunday. We hope to reestablish regular children’s religious education in the latter half of 2026. In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact our minister, the Rev. Jen Raffensperger (revjen@uuroanoke.org).

On Sundays:

• Adults: From 9:30 am – 10:45 am (September-May), all adults are welcome to participate in UUCR’s Living the Questions book discussion group in the Olin room. 
• Nursery: We strive to offer nursery care for infants and toddlers during the 11:00-12:00 worship service on every Sunday of the month. On those days, our nursery is supervised by experienced caregivers who have undergone background checks. At other times, the unstaffed nursery is available for families to take a break with their littles during the service, as needed.
• Children & Youth Religious Education: As mentioned above, we are grateful for your patience during this time of transition. Upon our hire of the new RE director, we hope to restart our children’s RE in the latter half of 2026. If you have questions, please contact our minister, Rev. Jen Raffensperger (revjen@uuroanoke.org).
