2024-2025 Themes
This year’s overarching frame is The Practices of Our Faith. We’re using this frame to focus on how Unitarian Universalism is a lived faith that inspires us to act out our values in the world. Or to put it another way, we’re diving into our long-loved UU commitment to “deeds not creeds.” Our overarching frame is also a way for us to connect to our new UU core value of Liberating Love, with each of our monthly themes framed as a practice that helps us embody liberating love in our daily lives.

Children and teens who are in K/1st to 12th grade start in the 10:00 am service with their families. Following the “Time for All Ages” children and teens will go with their teachers to their gathering space indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. We offer choices of activities and opportunities to connect with different age groups.
Crossing Paths: (6th-8th grade)
Join the adventure!
Starting in 2025, we will continue Crossing Paths, an updated version of our beloved Neighboring Faiths program. Together we will explore many religious traditions while nurturing and deepening our Unitarian Universalist identity. For each tradition, we will engage in experiential learning with activities, engaging questions, spiritual practices, and multi-media. A highlight will be visiting houses of worship and interviewing people about their beliefs and traditions.
Most sessions will be held on Sunday mornings, but some visits to houses of worship will need to be on other days and times—stay tuned for updates! We are excited to embark on this meaningful journey with you.
