Children's Religious Education
2025-04-06 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-04-13 10:30 - 11:30 | WI
This year, our Children’s RE group is blending our play-based model with Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints, an illustrated collection by Daneen Akers that highlights people from diverse faiths who have stood up for justice and love, even when it meant challenging the status quo.

We’ll learn about inspiring figures like:

Bayard Rustin

Fred Rogers

Valarie Kaur

Kaitlin Curtice

Thich Nhat Hanh

Rumi

Mary Oliver

And we’ll be adding our own Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist ancestors, including Norbert Čapek and Francis Ellen Watkins Harper.

Each Sunday, elementary school-aged participants will discover one of these holy troublemakers and then explore the week’s themes in our open play spaces, including an art room, contemplation room, make-believe room, game area, nature space, music space, and makerspace.

C2: Coming of Age Cafe

C2 is a unique coming-of-age space designed to honor youth choice and support them in taking ownership of their spiritual paths, C2 is a space where youth can connect, collaborate, create, and rest while exploring the deep questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. Each week, the group will be invited to explore questions such as:

How do I honor the child I once was…and will carry with me?

What are the labels and expectations our families put on us?

Where is the line between belonging and fitting in?

What privileges belong to me, and how do I use them to support the belonging of others?

How do I honor where I come from?

How do I celebrate the unique me?

How do I prevent labels from hemming me in?

What are my core values?

What are my passions and joys?

Who do I hope to become?

How do we disagree without destroying relationships?

How do I resist “me-ism” and honor our intertwined fates?

Then youth can choose how they’d like to go deeper with that week’s theme. Whether they choose to play a game, make art, enjoy a snack, quietly reflect, or simply relax, C2 is an intentional time for youth to nurture their well-being, explore those big coming-of-age questions as they move from childhood to adolescence, and discover the answers together.

Joy

April’s Creativity Matters theme is “Joy.” This month, we’ll explore how creative practices can help us connect with and cultivate joy in our lives. Together, we’ll practice embracing joy through art and reflect on how joyful creativity enriches our emotional well-being, builds stronger connections, and invites more light into our daily lives. We hope you’ll join us in this exploration and discover new ways to bring more joy into your world!

Projects of the Month

We will have supplies for Project Options B, D, and F from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*

Joyful Words Collage – Find a selection of words that bring you joy – Buzz, Boom, Lollipop, Squeegee – and use them to create a joyful collage.

Creativity of Childhood Joy – Reconnect with joy through the creativity of your childhood with some of your favorite childhood mediums and art toys (fingerprinting, playdoh, construction paper, etc.)

Joy through Sumi-e – Also called black ink painting, is a Japanese meditative art form that invites the artist to connect with the energy and symbolism of what they paint. One of its central images, the orchid, embodies the joyful energy of summer, freedom, beauty, and peace. Try your hand at the orchid form with one of our tutorials or create your own joyful black ink masterpiece!

What is Creativity Matters?

Our Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.

It’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain.

Creativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.

Sunday Worship And Glorified Coffee Hour
2025-04-13 10:30 - 12:30 | WI
April 13: Big History, Sacred Space – Reverend Suzanne Wasilczuk Preaching

How do we acknowledge, or describe, a faith that embraces the Christian teachings of this Palm Sunday? Our belief in science? Our use of poetry and song, metaphor and mystery? Our concern for the earth?

Some UU theologians write of religious naturalism as a way to consider the mystery, order, and beauty in the world. A way to express the spiritual part of ourselves.

Guest Preacher: Rev. Suzanne Wasilczuk reflects on this, our inextricable interconnectedness.Guest Musicians: We’re thrilled to welcome our guest musicians, the Signature String Quartet, whose exceptional talent and artistry will bring a rich, elegant sound to Sunday’s service.
