Children’s Faith Development Programs Summer 2010

Some History and an Overview

From the very beginning, the Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists have committed energy, time, resources and space to programs that foster spiritual growth for their children and youth.  In our covenant, we promise to teach ourselves and our children the value of religious thought and feeling.

What to expect

During the summer we take a slightly slower pace.  We switch from a two-service to single service schedule and our faith development program combines for a combined elementary and middle school class. Each summer we chose a different theme to explore and we are returning to exploring our seventh principle “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.”

This summer we are using a multigenerational curriclum called “Celebrating Rainforests.”  We invite all pre-kindergarten through middle school youth to join us as we learn about the rainforest, how to protect it and even turn our Fahs House living room into a rainforest!

In addition to our curriculum program we will have all ages worship, chapel services in Fahs and even a Sunday of arts, crafts and games.  I hope you will join us!
