Our Director of Child & Youth Faith Development Director David Traupman, parents, and congregation volunteers provide a warm and nurturing environment for spiritual exploration and growth with a variety of thought-provoking, creative, and fun activities based on the UUA’s Tapestry of Faith: Toolbox of Faith curriculum.
While we physically distance from each other, the following opportunities to learn and grow are available via Zoom and at outdoor on-campus activities:
Sunday Funday Check-In
9:30 to 10:00 a.m. Every Sunday via password-protected Zoom link
These weekly conversational and interactive sessions give our kids and families a chance to share how their week has been, answer relationship-building questions, center around readings and stories, acknowledge and honor spiritual holidays/celebrations, and takeaways to help them live their UU principles throughout the coming week.
