When do we meet?
We provide children an opportunity to explore, reflect, and learn in a nurturing spiritual community. The program is offered during the service on Sunday mornings starting at 11:00 am. After we have welcomed the congregation and heard the Story for All Ages, the children are escorted by our awesome teachers and parent volunteers to the classrooms where they take time to:
- light their own chalice as a group – the symbol of Unitarian Universalism
- share their joys and challenges
- participate in activities, art and storytelling
- engage with interfaith curriculum
Our program offers:
- Ethical growth by internalizing enduring values like justice, equity, and compassion, and gaining tools to act on them in everyday life.
- Social growth by connecting with peers and people of all ages on a deeper level.
- Acceptance among people who see beyond the superficial.
- Spiritual growth by feeling a connection with the sacred within, among, and beyond us.
The UU Principles for Kids:
- We believe that each and every person is important.
- We believe that all people should be treated fairly and kindly.
- We believe that we should accept one another and keep on learning together.
- We believe that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life.
- We believe that all persons should have a voice about the things that concern them.
- We believe in working for a peaceful, fair, and free world.
