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!

Youth Group – Value Quest: Exploring What Matters Most

This year, our youth will explore the values they chose as the most important to them – Adventure, Honesty, Play & Humor, Fun, Conscience & Integrity, Generosity, Forgiveness, Kindness & Respect, Creativity, Learning & Growing, Family & Connections, Peace, Friendship, and Fairness & Equity.Together, they’ll dive into big questions: How can I make time for play and humor in my life? How can I live in a way that reflects my deepest values? What does it mean to live generously? How do you begin again in love? And through conversation, service, games, and shared experiences, they’ll discover how to carry these values with them as they move into adulthood.

Reach out to our Director of Religious Education to find out the theme for any particular week and learn how your youth can jump in and be part of the fun.

Easter – The Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

We gather on the morning that broke all the rules. The one the Christian tradition has been arguing about, celebrating, and returning to for two thousand years.

What Survives – The Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

We spend a lot of energy holding our lives together. The roles we play, the certainties we lean on, the version of ourselves we’ve worked hard to maintain. On this last Sunday of Lent, this sermon asks what’s actually load-bearing. What remains when the rest falls away, and what it costs to find out.

Our guest musician this Sunday will be Karen Zuidema, the Musical Director for the Wausau ProMusica auditioned women’s singing group. Joining her will be members of our UU Choir who are also part of ProMusica. Zuidema is well known in Wisconsin for her many contributions to the state’s school choral programs.
