To help develop their UU identity, children are included in the first half of service each week, and in the full service at least once a month. They are encouraged to participate in the the life of the fellowship by sharing during Joys and Concerns. After hearing and briefly discussing a Story for All Ages the congregation sings the children off to their Religious Education class, led by a volunteer RE teacher.
Our 2022-2023 children’s Religious Education themes come from Soul Matters and lift up spiritual paths crucial to helping our children lean into their new future. During the summer months the children participate in Green Sanctuary activities and explore gardening.
