Our Adult Religious Education program offers a range of courses, workshops, and discussion groups. Registration is important! Schedules are published in the fall and spring with updates in the newsletter. We try to keep our calendar flexible to respond to needs as they arise. Most of our facilitators are members of the congregation who have a particular interest or skill. We do not charge for our classes, except for a small materials fee in some cases, and we do not pay our facilitators. For more information, contact the office at 201-444-6225 or email usr.secretary@gmail.com.
Please peruse our calendar and upcoming events page for film series, concerts, book discussions and other activities throughout the year.

New Member Orientation
For those people considering membership in the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, we offer “New Member Classes.” These classes provide an opportunity for you to meet others who are new and considering membership, as well as learn more about Unitarian Universalism, the history of our congregation, our Religious Education program and the benefits and obligations of membership.
New Member Classes take place three times a year on Sundays, from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Brunch is provided. Childcare is available if requested in advance. These classes are offered by the Membership Committee. They are fun as well as informative! Check your weekly eblast and/or newsletter for upcoming classes. If you would like to sign up for a new member class or want more information, please contact Ann Pareti at 201-444-6225.
