An Easy Way to
Connect with Children & Youth
Occasionally, we have a Sunday when only one member of a teaching team is available. When that happens, you have the opportunity to sit in! Having a second adult in each class helps us uphold our Safe Congregation practices.
|
|
|
|
Visiting class is a wonderful way to get to know the children and youth. It demonstrates that you value their presence in our CUUC community and support their spiritual journey. And it makes it possible for us to offer RE in a safe environment. We’d love to have you on our standby list! For more about the assistant role, click here. Contact Tracy to volunteer, cuucwptracy@gmail.com.

Searching for a Child Care Provider
Do you have a babysitter you love? Do you know someone who is patient, kind, and gentle with children, and would like a little extra income? Are you in an online parent or neighborhood group where you could post our job announcement?
|
|
|
|
We are hiring another Sunday morning child care provider to ensure we are living up to our safe congregation practices. Starting as soon as possible, the hours are Sunday, 9:45am - 11:45am with additional hours occasionally for congregational events. We are initially hiring through June 2022 with the hope the position is funded for next year, so will prioritize candidates who are available into the future. Contact Diane (dakmv@aol.com) and Tracy (cuucwptracy@gmail.com).

1st-5th Grade Class, Love Connects Us
Room 13 in the Red Hallway
Norm H is leading class with Eileen M
Say not 'I have found the truth,' but rather 'I have found a truth.' — Khalil Gibran, from The Prophet. Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition. We expect that what we find to be true may change over time as new life experiences shape our search. This session guides participants to "seek the truth in love" again and again as part of their own search for meaning.
6th-7th Grade Class, Amazing Grace: Exploring Right and Wrong
Room 41 in the Green Hallway
Christine H is leading with Gail J
The mind is a field in which every kind of seed is sown. — Thich Nhat Hanh
This session is the first of four that focuses on ethical development. This one uses the metaphor of a garden and growing plants to explore how it is that we can develop the positive qualities we want to see in ourselves.
8th-9th Grade Class, Coming of Age Handbook & Compass Points
Room 11 in the Red Hallway
Betsy W is leading with Raquel B and mentors.
This class focuses on our dual faith heritage of Unitarianism and Universalism, which merged in 1961. Youth will learn about some individuals who were central in our Unitarian and Universalist history.
We look forward to seeing you!!

10:00am Worship
In Person & Livestream
“Biology and Spirituality” ~ Rev. Meredith Garmon
The natural sciences don't imply any particular spirituality, but they may, if we let them, inspire our spirits. Here we'll look for what spiritual pointers we may draw from recent findings about microbes. Fun, eh?
