Ministries/Boards - Board of Religious Education

"We always have the most fun,” commented one former member of the BRE. She went on to tell about one particularly rowdy meeting, when the laughter wafted down the halls and interrupted the more serious board meetings going on.

Officially, the BRE works with the ministerial staff developing and implementing programs for members of all ages – from the nursery, to Sunday School, to adult Bible study. This creative group plans Rally Day (that exciting Sunday afternoon that kicks off the new school year), reviews curricula to be used in the Sunday School, comes up with activities for teens that won’t elicit moans of anticipated boredom, and responds to the interests of adults with study opportunities.

And then there’s the Strawberry Social in June that marks the end of the year’s successful Sunday School, recognition of teachers, and an often-needed summer rest for these people. It’s no wonder the BRE has such a good time!
