Intergenerational Services

Throughout the year, there will be Sundays where children and youth will join with everyone in the Sanctuary for an intergenerational worship service. This does not mean there is no RE that day! It simply means RE takes place in the sanctuary, not the classrooms, and the teacher for the day is the worship leader. Please plan to attend these all-ages services as a family. The experiences children and youth have during worship will be reinforced and expanded upon in the classroom, and vice versa. These are also a unique opportunity for children and youth to participate in worship–from lighting the chalice to leading hymns, telling a story, or sharing some artwork, the possibilities are wide!

Nursery

Infants to age 5 are invited to play and engage in community building during the worship service. This space is located on the Lower Level.

Our Family Room is located next to the Sanctuary and is always open for parents with small children to use during worship services. We also welcome and celebrate children of all ages in the Sanctuary during the worship service.

Sunday Morning Programs

Most Sundays, Religious Education will begin in the Sanctuary, then children and youth will gather in a separate space after our Message For All Ages until 15 minutes after the service ends.

Children’s Chapel

Twice each month, we’ll begin our morning together in Children’s Chapel. We’ll have opportunities to explore rituals, spiritual practices, meditation, hymns, stories, reflection, and more. This time together will give us a chance to slow down, wonder, connect with one another, and explore what spirituality can look and feel like in our own lives.

Many Mountains, Many Paths

K–4th and 5th–8th Graders will journey through the world’s faith traditions, exploring a different tradition each month. We’ll discover their stories, celebrations, beliefs, practices, values and ask big questions about what it means to live a meaningful life. Each age group will follow the same monthly theme, with activities and conversations designed especially for their age.

GUUSH

Youth in Grades 9-12 are encouraged to attend worship services, and we will discuss worship themes together. GUUSH is youth-led and adult-guided, tackling topics and projects interesting to the youth. Youth decide how much to focus on each of the core GUUSH areas: curriculum, worship leadership, social justice, and community building. The youth plan and lead a youth service in the spring, including a Bridging ceremony for seniors.

In 2021, GUUSH youth adopted the 8th Principle, and led the entire congregation to adopt the 8th Principle in 2022.

Rotating Programs

Coming of Age

The Coming of Age (COA) curriculum helps youth explore Unitarian Universalist theology, history, and practices. In this important ritual of transition from childhood, youth reflect on and define their own beliefs in a credo. This program is tentatively scheduled to begin in Fall 2027. Pre-registration is required.

Our Whole Lives

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education program that provides accurate, developmentally appropriate information about a range of topics, including relationships, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, sexual health, and cultural influences on sexuality. The program aims to help participants make informed and responsible decisions about their relationships, sexual health and behavior.

This program will be available for 4th-6th Grades in Fall 2026 and run from September through March. Pre-registration is required.
