Soul Matters Children
This year’s overarching frame is The Gifts of Our Faith. We focus on ten beloved UU values and explore their potential to shape us and in turn shape the world. How do these values offer us both challenge and comfort? What might it mean to place them at the center of our living and loving? What promise do they hold for us individually as well as collectively? These are some of questions that will guide and bless our journey in the year ahead. Each month, our Children’s RE teachers, Kat Roth and Cassie Brooks, will lead the elementary age children through explorations of these themes: Welcome, Heritage, Generosity, Mystery, Liberating Love, Justice & Equity, Transformation, Interdependence, Pluralism, Children’s RE includes: Dreamers: Ages 4-8, Builders: Ages 9-12.
Building a Better World -Youth
Building A Better World" is an RPG-based curriculum that will lead the youth through the process of creating a game setting as a faith development and community-building exercise reflecting Unitarian Universalist values. The curriculum will help participants explore questions of ethics, morality, and social justice. With discussion questions and activities, participants will explore the topics of race, ecology, mortality, class, abilities, goals, community, gender identity, diversity, exclusion, cultural appropriation, and all of the “ism's” that plague our attempts to build a better world. Tom Adams will lead the youth through this program, for ages 13-18. Youth meet until 1pm.
