The UU Kids class is for school age children and introduces them into religious community. Using the Spirit Play (Montessori-inspired) approach, the class uses active story telling, wondering time, and child-directed activities. The UU Kids explore Unitarian Universalist values and rituals, such as lighting the chalice and sharing joys and concerns, listen to and act out stories, share their ideas, and engage in games, arts & crafts, and social justice activities.

During the school year, the UU Kids class, along with the whole church, will explore a new theme each month digging deeper into religious and spiritual ideas and practices.
