RE & Children’s Programs

      OWL is a thoughful, engaging, and well-respected program. Together, we'll create a safe, welcoming environment where children can ask questions, build confidence, practice healthy decision-making, and learn accurate, age-appropriate information about their bodies, relationships, and values.
      Our first step is our mandatory Family Orientation, which will take place Sunday, October 18, at 11:30am. During this session, we'll meet one another, review the curriculum, answer questions, discuss expectations, and talk about how families can support their children throughout this program.
      After that, sessions will run Sunday afternoons, once a month, through April, and we also will have a sleepover at the church in February.
