Sacred Words: A UU Kids’ Guide to Big Ideas

This year in Children’s RE, we’ll embark on a playful, thoughtful journey through some of life’s most meaningful ideas – Community, Spirit, Justice, Love, and Compassion. We’ll wonder together about the Sacred and the Values we hold dear, explore the beauty of Awe, Mystery, and Hope, and talk about what Forgiveness, Mercy, Generosity, and Freedom can look like in our lives. We’ll learn about Pluralism, Equity, and Truth, reflect on God(dess), and discover how Covenant, Reverence, Interdependence, and Transformation connect us to each other and the wider world. Through our play-based model, stories, games, art, and community-building, we’ll nurture curiosity, empathy, and the joy of growing together.

New children are always welcome. You can reach out to our Director of Religious Education to learn about the theme for any particular week and find out how to join in. Come explore, create, and wonder alongside us!

Our Whole Lives Grades 7-9

Grounded in the core values of self-worth, responsibility, justice, and inclusivity, Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a positive, comprehensive sexuality education program that helps young people make informed, responsible decisions about their relationships, health, and well-being. The 7th–9th grade curriculum creates a supportive space for youth to explore topics, like: healthy relationships, gender identity & sexual orientation, sexual health, consent, and cultural influences on sexuality.

OWL encourages youth to actively explore and reflect on their own values, attitudes, and beliefs, and through open dialogue and skill-building, participants gain tools to make informed, thoughtful, and responsible decisions about their relationships, sexual health, and behavior.

This program is open to youth in grades 7–9 (or homeschool equivalent, typically ages 12–14 as of September 1, 2025) who have not previously taken OWL.

Registration for this year’s OWL program is now closed. We will offer OWL 7-9th grade again during the 2026-2027 school year.

For more information, please contact the Director of Religious Education.

What We Guard – The Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

Most of us have learned, quietly and over time, to keep certain things out. Certain risks, certain truths, certain people. This sermon asks what we’ve been guarding, and what it’s costing us.

We’re delighted to welcome the Irish Tune Peddlers — Randy Colton on violin, John Coletta on flute and penny whistle, and David Tamres on guitar. They’ll fill our service with lively Celtic music, offering a special musical treat not to be missed!
