Preschool, Kind. & 1^st Grade TREASURE HUNTING (9 & 11am)

Only with eyes informed by love and respect can we find life’s treasures. The treasures discovered through this year will include the importance of each person, the power of feelings, the joy of friendship and the excitement of the search for truth. It will also include young children’s introduction to Unitarian Universalist heritage, the interdependence of people, and the fragile harmony of nature.

2^nd & 3^rd Grades MORAL TALES (9 & 11am)

Our young UUs are often faced with difficult decisions and situations in this complex world. The stories and activities in Moral Tales help to provide children with the spiritual and ethical tools that they will need to make choices and take actions reflective of their Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values.

4^th & 5^th Grades EARTH CIRCLES (9 & 11am)

In our Seventh UU Principle we affirm and promote “…the Interconnected Web of all Existence.” There are many overlapping circles in the Web of Life. Hands-on activities, experiments, stories, social action and field trips will bring these connections to life for our 4^th and 5^th graders.

6^th Grade COMPASS POINTS (11am ONLY)

Our 6^th graders will begin the journey of exploring life’s big questions, thinking independently, assuming responsibility, making decisions, reflecting on values and adopting the practice of radical hospitality. They will also learn Unitarian Universalist history, polity and theology and visit area historical UU sites.

7^th Grade NEIGHBORING FAITHS (9am ONLY)

A favorite of UU middle schoolers everywhere! This program ventures outside the classroom for an exploration what other faiths believe, value and practice. Preparation for visits includes historical information, guest visits and discussions on appropriate dress and behavior in each place of worship. These visits help our 7^th graders relate to their growing Unitarian Universalist faith.
