Sunday School and More!

 

Sunday Mornings

 

At First Unitarian, we offer opportunities for children and youth to explore their values, build friendships, ask big questions, and grow in community. Our religious education programs encourage curiosity, compassion, creativity, and a sense of belonging, helping young people discover what it means to live our Unitarian Universalist values.

 

Sunday morning programs take place during the worship service, from 10:30–11:30 AM. Children and youth are also always welcome to attend worship with their families in the sanctuary. Throughout the year, we offer occasional multigenerational services designed to engage people of all ages.

 

Nursery & Preschool/Kindergarten

 

Childcare for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, & kindergarteners is available every Sunday from 10:00 AM–12:30 PM.

​

Our youngest children enjoy a welcoming, nurturing environment where they can play, explore, and develop relationships with caring adults and one another. Preschool-aged children also have opportunities to participate in simple Unitarian Universalist activities, including stories, songs, chalice lighting, and creative play.

​

Our programming introduces children to the joys of community and the values of kindness, wonder, and care for one another.

​

Elementary Sunday School (1st–5th Grade)

 

Elementary Sunday School meets weekly during the 10:30 AM worship service.

​

This year, our elementary students are exploring Woven Faith, a new Unitarian Universalist religious education curriculum that invites children to discover how our values connect us to one another, our communities, and the wider world.

Through stories, games, creative activities, discussion, and hands-on experiences, children explore themes of identity, belonging, justice, compassion, and spiritual growth.

​

Our elementary program encourages children to ask questions, share their ideas, build meaningful friendships, and discover how they can put their values into action.

​

Middle & High School Sunday Programs (6th–12th Grade)

 

Our middle and high school students have opportunities to connect with peers, explore important questions, and deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.

​

Rather than meeting for a traditional Sunday School class every week, our teen programming includes once-per-month scheduled Sunday gatherings and learning opportunities throughout the year. These sessions provide space for thoughtful discussion, shared experiences, and exploration of Unitarian Universalist values.

​

Youth in 7th–12th grade are also invited to participate in YRUU, our weekly Wednesday evening youth group, which offers consistent opportunities for connection and community. Learn more about YRUU here.

All children and youth ages 0–18 who attend First Unitarian or participate in our programs are asked to have an annual Child & Youth Information Form on file. Completing the form also subscribes your family to our weekly Child & Youth Programs News, with updates about classes, activities, and upcoming events.
