Super Sundays: Once a month, PreK-12th grades will meet together for a social action project as well as fun and games, often around a holiday theme. This is an opportunity for children and youth to socialize with one another across the age ranges.  See the Family Ministry Programming Schedule for Super Sunday dates.

Nursery:  Our Nursery (off the main lobby) is open for infants through age two. There is no formal supervision; parents must stay in the room with their child(ren). The audio of the service can be heard in the nursery so that parents can listen to the worship service.

PreK – K: Our 3-5 year olds will begin Sunday worship in the Sanctuary with their families, then leave after the Story for All Ages for the Chalice Children program. Parents/guardians pick up their children directly from class after service. 

Grades 1-6:  Our children in grades 1-6 will have two curricula this year:

    • Unitarian Universalist (UU) Identity: From Sept 2022 – Jan 2023, students will explore our 8 Principles and 6 Sources with the help of congregational guest speakers who will bring these to life through discussion, hands-on activities, and spiritual practice. Students will begin Sunday worship in the Sanctuary with their families, and will leave after the Story for All Ages for their classroom.
    • Our Whole Lives Elementary: From Feb – May 2023 

Grades 7-8: Jr. High School Our Whole Lives: From Sept 2022 – May 2023   Students will begin their class at 10am directly in their classroom.
