Our Goals
f o r C h i l d r e n s E d u c at i o n
In our community of religious growth and
learning, we aim to create safe and inclusive
environments, through which we seek to help
people of all ages and stages:
1. Know that each person is important,
worthy of love and care.
2. Affirm that they are part of a Unitarian
Universalist religious heritage and
intergenerational community of faith.
3. Participate in our evolving search for
truth.
4. Develop skills for mutually caring
relationships.
5. Encourage a sense of responsibility
toward others and the environment.
6. Develop a personal spiritual practice that
celebrates their faith and helps to live out
their values in everyday life.
7. Experience reverence for and connection
to that which is larger than the self.
Class Offerings
Food
Nursery
Special Events
Faith In Action Sundays. Faith in Action
projects
are
scheduled
periodically
throughout the year in the Elementary and
Junior Youth classes. These lessons offer
children experiences that are grounded in
AUUCs social justice initiatives. All projects
are based on the class curricula and are
done during regular class time.
All-ages Services. On certain Sundays
(holidays and other special occasions), AUUC
holds family-friendly worship services where
everyone is invited to attend a music- and
movement-filled worship together. Regular
participation in these services encourages a
sense of community and deepens childrens
understanding of our UU traditions. Dates for
all-ages services will be announced on the
website and in the churchs weekly email
messages. No RE classes are held; the
nursery will be open for restless little ones.
