Demystifying Religious Education
Come take a peek behind what happens on Sunday mornings in our small groups for PreK-5th grades. Much of what we do, how we do it, and why we do it is based on the work of Jiddu Krishanmurti. Featuring the 5th-grade Rite of Passage, and Beacon’s Choir will be singing.
Join the conversation on Beacon’s Slack channel #sundaychat.
