Can You Use Straws as a Chalice?
Can you use straws as a chalice? We will provide straws, string, and a candle to invent a chalice. Your child can share their creation with the congregation at the end of the service. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family!
Scrambled UU Principles!
One of our activities for children attending our UU service is to assemble a bunch of word phrases into the Seven UU Principles. It is an engrossing activity but also a subtle way of introducing the Principles to our youth. Other activities involving these Principles are being planned. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family!
UU Principles on Stones
We will provide smooth stones with our UU principles on them. We will also provide blank stones for children to draw or write their own beliefs about love, friendship, care for the Earth, etc. The children will use permanent markers to draw on smooth stones. They can take the stones home and place them in their garden or path as a reminder that what they believe is important and strong. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family!
Friendship Bracelets
This Sunday, your child will have beads and other materials to create bracelets to give to people in the church or to new friends. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family!
Sharing a Bowl of Love
This activity is about sharing and caring. Two dolls or stuffed animals will have spoons taped tightly to their arms so that the doll cannot bend their arms. In the middle of the tray is a bowl of pretend food. The children will have to figure out how the dolls can eat. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teri I for more information. We hope to see you and your whole family!
