Children and Youth Programs
Children's Program - Age 5-11
Hi Kids, I'm Kate Lanxner and I was the Children's Program Director at the UUG through May 2016. (We are currently seeking a new Youth Director at UUG. )
At UUG, you play an integral role in our gatherings and community life.
During Monthly Gatherings: Kids take part in UUG community rituals of lighting and extinguish the chalice, and lighting candles of joys and concerns. In addition, I prepare a separate activity for you during the gathering, so you can explore morality and spiritual concepts. These activities usually address the same topics the adults are learning about, or they are pulled from the classes prepared by the UUA in America.
After the activity, you get to share the results of your activities with the adults when you rejoin them near the end of the service.
Building Friendships with Kids in India: You may be interested to know that UUGs have partnered with a school in India with kids exactly your age! We can work together to write them letters, send them gifts, and build friendships with them.
Family Events: UUs often get together outside of Monthly Gatherings, either to serve others like homeless people or to clean our environment, or to just hike and enjoy nature. Your are invited to all these events.
