World of Wonder: (K-3rd grade)

Beginning in 2024, our Kindergarten to 3^rd Grade group will use a UU curriculum called “World of Wonder.” This program is founded on the premise that direct experience in nature is essential to children’s physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development. Each session is designed to inspire and nurture young people’s connection to the Earth. Download Schedule: WOW 2024

Crossing Paths: (6th-8th grade)

Join the adventure!

Starting in 2024, we will continue Crossing Paths, a new 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.

This year we will explore Catholicism, Baha’i, Hinduism, Quakerism, Christian Science, and Judaism. 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.
