Kids
During our Sunday morning worship service we offer loving care for infants and toddlers as well as engaging programming for pre-school and school-age children.
Our team of carefully chosen volunteer teachers use story, discussion, plays, arts and crafts, cooperative games, activities and music to create a fun, interactive experience for young people.
Our programs for children strive to:
- Honour our children’s natural curiosity and sense of wonder
- Familiarize our children with our Unitarian Universalist heritage and values and with the beliefs and practices of the world’s religions
- Encourage children’s appreciation for our shared humanity and respect for the diversity of opinion, ability, affectional orientation and ethnicity among us
- Foster children’s sense of connectedness to the extended spiritual family in our congregation and support parents in a community of like-minded individuals
- Inspire children and youth to act for justice, equity and compassion
The Youth Group
Our Youth Group, for those aged 13-21, meets Sundays from 11:45 to 1:00 pm. Youth are empowered to set the agenda for their time together in consultation with their three trained adult advisors.
Mutual support and respect are nurtured in the group through times of deep sharing and listening in community. While many of the youth have been raised in our congregation, we seek to be a place of welcome for those who come at any stage of their faith journey. Activities may include weekend retreats, social outings, fundraisers, planning and leading a Sunday worship service for the congregation and Our Whole Lives relationship and sexuality curriculum.
