UNIVERSITY UNITARIAN CHURCH

Elementary-Age Children

(Kindergarten-5th Grade)

Sunday Morning Groups for Kids:

9:30 & 11:15 Services, open to drop-in!

Through story and play, children at UUC explore our Unitarian Universalist values and what it means to live out those values in daily lives. In a small group setting and 4-6 week modules, children dive deep into topics like invitation, repair, trust, inclusions, and joy. They experience important ritual, sing together, and have fun with all sorts of games and activities. While each of the groups listed below follows the same general program plan, the details of their session plans will differ slightly based on age. 

  • Stepping Stones: Kindergarten - 5th Grade during the 9:30 Service
  • Roots: Kindergarten - 2nd Grade during the 11:15 Service
  • Wings: 3rd - 5th Grade at the 11:15 Service

Parent Night Out:

Upcoming Parent Night Out events will be on Saturdays, October 26 and December 14, from 4:00-7:30 pm.
Advance registration is required.

Parents of children ages 6 mos through 5th grades are invited to drop their kiddos off for an evening of creative fun and enjoy a night to themselves! Programming for young children will include free-play, an art or science-related activity, and a children’s movie. Dinner will be provided.


All Ages Worship:

Sept. 22, Oct. 20, Nov. 17, Dec. 15, Jan. 26, Feb. 9, March 16, April 27, May 18, & June 1

We believe worship is an important part of community and faith development. Once a month, usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month, our entire church community gathers for a meaningful, vibrant, and engaging multi-age worship service. These services often include stories, embodied spiritual practice and ritual, and easy-to-sing music. Stepping Stones, Roots and Wings groups do not meet during All Ages Worship. 

Elementary Our Whole Lives:

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a holistic and comprehensive sexuality education program. OWL provides accurate, developmentally appropriate information about many topics, including relationships, gender identity and expression, sexual health, and cultural influences on sexuality. In the 2023-2024 church year, we plan to offer an OWL class for Kindergarten-1st Grade and 4th-5th Grade. More information about OWL can be found on our Sexuality Education page.

Chalice Camp:

Chalice Camp is our annual, summer day-camp for Unitarian Universalist kids. It is a week of meaningful exploring and community building, including music, art, games, worship, and fun field trips. Chalice Camp is open to elementary-age children, entering 1st through 6th grade. More details can be found on our Camps & Retreats page.
