Our Families

It is important to play together!  Families and individuals are invited to the special activities and parties coordinated by class parents throughout the year.   Look for information about these and others in the newsletters and weekly updates.

Some of the Family-centered events during the year:

• Halloween Party
• Tree Trimming
• Hanging of the Greens
• Mystery Friends
• Kite Day
• Easter Egg Dyeing

 

Rites of Passage

 

Child Dedications (see also Worship)

Welcoming a child is an ancient ritual.  Unitarian Universalists do not do baptisms in the traditional sense of cleansing children of original sins.  In our ceremonies the child is officially named and welcomed into the community, and the community pledges its love and support for the child.  Our church offers Child and Baby Dedications at various times throughout the year.

 

Bridging (see also Worship)

Bridging is a rite of passage recognizing movement into and out of YRUU.  Middle School youth bridge into YRUU and High School youth bridge into Young Adults.
