Welcome to the Spiritual Exploration department! Our programs and resources are for all ages, including a program for our children and Spirit Circle for our Adults. Sometimes we will have multigenerational programs during this time. Spirit Circle concentrates on spiritual topics and how they affect how we live our Unitarian Universalist lives, and takes place in our lower level. Our programs are designed to nurture Unitarian Universalist identity, spiritual growth and religious education. Our children's program and spirit circle run from 10:00 - 11:00am Sunday mornings, before service. Service starts at 11:00, with a social coffee hour following at 12:00 noon. 

Spiritual Exploration children program schedule:

March 2, 2025: Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Mardi Gras -  Discovering the customs and meaning of these cultural and religious observances.

Currently we are using a curriculum called "Character Counts" for children's religious education. Character Counts are lessons and activities around six pillars of character-trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Our teachings are related back to our seven principles which guide Unitarian Universalists. This program is for all kindergarten and elementary school children.
