<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Answer: Because it is FUN and REWARDING and you will serve your church community by making a positive impact for a growing generation of UUs. <br/></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br/></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Your Religious Education
program is in need of volunteer teachers for the Fall, 2009 semester. We have
openings for both the 9:30 and 11:15 classes, Kindergarten through Fifth grade.
</span><span><br/>
</span><span> </span><span><br/>
</span><span>Reasons you should volunteer to teach an
RE class this Fall:</span><span><br/>
</span><span> </span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      We have
a brand new curriculum from the Tapestry of Faith series, the UUA's new series
of programs that nurture Unitarian Universalist identity, spiritual growth, a
transforming faith, and vital communities of justice and love.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      You will
receive a comprehensive training session before beginning to teach.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      You will
learn from our amazing group of MVUC children and youth, who bring diverse and
fresh perspectives to our curriculum topics. </span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      You are
not committed to teach every Sunday, since we have structured teaching teams to
work together. </span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      We have
two Sunday morning worship services, so you can teach a class and still attend
the service.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      Your DRE
and RE Assistant help make your job easy and fun.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      You will
learn things you didn’t know about Unitarian Universalism.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>·      If you
are a parent, teaching an RE class is a great way to get to know other parents
of children of a similar age to your own.</span><span><br/>
</span><span>……….<i>And the #1 reason to teach a
Children’s RE class:</i></span><span><i><br/>
</i></span><span>It's an opportunity to participate
in one of the important heartbeats of our Unitarian Universalist community,
growing a new generation of thinkers while stretching your own reflective
thinking.  </span></p>
