UU Wellspring for Youth

Youth yearn to explore what is important in life. UU Wellspring for Youth offers a time to connect with their peers, explore what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist and how their faith can sustain them.

UU Wellspring for Youth is a chance for youth to ask and reflect on the big questions in life and reflect on what is deeply important to them while learning about the six sources of Unitarian Universalism. Wellspring Youth will participate in a variety of spiritual practices each session, exploring spiritual resources that can sustain them for the rest of their lives.

UU Wellspring Youth will meet eight times online, on the first Thursday of every month starting in October beginning on Thursday, October 7 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. We ask that the Youth commit to participating to the entire 8 sessions, as this program builds on each session and the connections made within the group.

This program will be facilitated by Deb Solis and our youth advisors.

Our eight once a month sessions topics include:

  • Introduction Session
  • Direct Experience
  • Prophetic People
  • Jewish and Christian Teachings
  • World Religions
  • Humanist Teachings
  • Earth-Centered Spirituality
  • Closing Session

 

Families Together: All Ages RE, Sundays, 11:15-11:45 a.m.

During this family ministry time, we will explore our faith and the church’s monthly themes, and connect with other families in the church community. Kimberlee will guide these interactive sessions, offering ministry and sharing ways for families to build religious education into their home life.

Each week, we will invite families and church members to participate as featured guests, by lighting the chalice, sharing a story from their life, or leading a song, game, or activity. We know that families are children’s primary religious educators, and that faith formation is grounded in the home; Families Together will offer a medley of ways for families to enrich their daily lives and stay centered in their values.
