Each week our kids gather to explore our world in light of our UU values. Pre-K/K friends will engage in guided exploration of various topics with their wonderful teachers, Sue Smith and Rocky Landers, downstairs in Room D.
Welcome to the Spirit Play Room! Each Sunday morning, your child will be welcomed into Room C, a quiet space with shelves lined with art supplies, story boxes, and mindful play stations. They will sit together in a circle where their teacher will present a story that invites your child into wondering about our UU values, history, rituals, social justice, and world faith traditions. Then they will be invited to process the story on their own through art and mindful play. They will choose what to explore on their own. This gentle, imaginative space will give them the opportunity to slow [...]
Welcome to the World Blessings Room! An important tenet of Unitarian Universalism is an appreciation of our world and its many blessings. World Blessings introduces our older elementary friends to our world's diverse countries, religions, and holidays through the shared activity of cooking! Cooking is a wonderful way to engage in cultural appreciation and education without appropriation. We'll engage with information about the culture from which the recipes originate, as well as the country, religion, holiday, or holy day being studied. We may also read a story that gives us an appreciation of the people we are focusing on. In addition, [...]
Join us for a potluck lunch after the service during which Perry will share stories to introduce us to the world of Native America. Filled with traditional legends that have been told for hundreds of years by various tribes, these stories will help younger students (and all of us) understand who Native American people are, that many different cultures/Tribes exist across North America, and that Native Americans continue to live in and contribute to our society today. Please sign up for the potluck here.

The UUFCC Jazz Band is open to all. Rehearsals occur on Sundays in the Sanctuary, although occasionally the band may rehearse in Room 6 due to major church events. Contact David Morris if interested.
This lively and engaging presentation will give an overview of the history of this very misunderstood holiday. Based on the only primary source document that chronicles the “First Thanksgiving”, participants will learn accurate and culturally appropriate information about the English settlers at Plymouth and the Wampanoag, the Native people who inhabited that area. The presentation will discuss the actual events of 1621 in Plymouth, the relationship between the English and the Wampanoag, and how this story became the holiday we know today. The concept of thanksgiving held by many Native Americans will be emphasized throughout.
Open to the public. Join Kelle Kersten on Zoom for a guided meditation during your lunch to center yourself for the coming week! Reach out to the UUFCC Office or to Kelle Kersten directly to receive the Zoom link.
