Nursery and Church School Jan 14-May 26 2024

Nursery is available Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 11 a.m. for children 6 months to 4 years.  Our nursery is staffed by a qualified caregiver, and that person is assisted by a church volunteer.  Children have the opportunity to play cooperatively in a caring and safe environment.  

​

Church School is offered weekly during Sunday worship for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Some Sundays we focus on using the library or making music together, and those Sundays are "all-ages".  Other Sundays, K-2nd graders and 3rd-5th graders learn about UUism and our shared values in a traditional classroom setting. 

*No Nursery or Church School on April 7*

Adult Group Conversation: The Lives We Lead
A Workshop led by Dick Sederquist

Sunday, April 7 at 11:30 a.m. 

Brown Program Center

 

Explore and share the lives you lead. Identify them as interesting and unique characters, protagonists, personas, or roles. Some roles come by choice, some by circumstance, some come with age and aging, some self-directed. Some represent rare chances that just came along, giving us opportunities to grow, to be creative, to understand oneself, and even reach out to help others.
