PreK - 2nd Grade Wonderful Welcome
Begin in the worship service. In class, Julia Caldarola and the children will talk about the gift of stewardship, session 11 of the Wonderful Welcome curriculum. The health and well being of a congregation depends on the generosity of its members. When congregants give their time, talents or treasure, they are giving to themselves as well as to others - and everyone is the better for it. In this session, the children learn some of the responsibilities taken on by volunteers in the congregation, not only to fund maintenance of the physical building, but also to create a welcoming atmosphere for members and visitors who come for worship and other church events. Parents can view the curriculum by clicking here. Trish McCabe is the Helping Hand.
3rd - 7th Grade Love and Justice
Begin in the worship service. In class, Tracy Breneman will lead the first of two lessons about race, privilege and living our UU values related to racial justice. We will be learning how to identify flash judgments and stereotypes, how be racial justice transformers and learning about the
7 Principles of Black Lives of UU. Michael Mon is the Helping Hand.

th - 9th Grade Coming of Age
Carol Ehler is leading class about sages and spiritual teachers, identifying spiritual teachers historically in various religious traditions and also considering who acts as spiritual teachers in our lives. This is session 15 of the Compass Points curriculum. Nancy Eisenman is the Helping Hand.
10th - 12th Grade Youth
Youth group has moved to Friday Community Night. Sundays, youth attend worship.
Please let your children and youth know we have a wonderful morning
