Connections & Community
Opportunities for connection abound at People’s Church. We are beginning our new church program year with a month of Intergenerational Services where all ages are invited to gather together for worship and connection.
Children and youth are a vital part of our congregation and we love for them to have the opportunity to experience Unitarian Universalist worship in community with all ages.
This allows families the chance to be together in worship, which is made easier this month by sitting at tables with coloring and fidgets handy. The children and youth get to participate in rituals such as the Chalice lighting, Joys and Sorrows, and Time for All Ages. Becoming familiar with the songs and hymns is an important part of UU faith development. As is feeling as an integral part of a larger community of faith.
The activity stations as a part of the 9/15 service on our new shared UU values proved to be a fun and engaging way for all ages to learn together. Check out the bulletin board in the south hallway that includes many of our shared activities.
Justice – we decorated Heroes for Justice masks
Equity – we traced our hands and glued them
Transformation – we made butterflies
Pluralism – we made trail mix
Interdepence – we made an earth mural
Generosity – we gave away chocolate gold coins
Love – we cut out hearts labled with what we love
May we all work to live out these values in our daily lives with all those we meet and all we do.
Blessed Be, Diane Melvin Religious Education Director
