Unitarian Universalist Identity

Each year a theme is selected to guide programming for children and youth in the Religious Education program on Sunday mornings. This year's theme is Unitarian Universalist Identity. In focusing and reflecting on what it means to be a UU in the world, volunteer teachers will help children and youth learn from their religious heritage, discern their own values and ideals and find out where they fit and how to articulate their own thoughts about the big questions of life.

The following curriculum are being used this year for our PK-6th grade classes:

Questers (4th-6th grades): Toolbox of Faith (link: http://www.uua.org/religiouseducation/curricula/tapestryfaith/toolboxfaith/index.shtml)
Explorers (1st-3rd grades): Picture Book UU (link: http://www.uure.com/PBUU.html)
Maiasaurs (PK-K): Friendship Finders (link: http://thecaringtree.net/friendship_finders)

For more information, ideas and activity suggestions about how you can learn more about your family's Unitarian Universalist Identity at home, check out the Church of the Larger Fellowship's website on UU Identity and RE here: http://clf.uua.org/re/qtr_uuidentity.html
