Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert

Children and Youth

Welcoming Families to a Church Home

UU Religious Education

UU CHILDREN learn about community and tradition, people and things around them, have the freedom to discover and express their own uniqueness, and gain understanding of their place in the interdependent web of life.

UU YOUTH choose from programs such as "How Others Worship," "How Can I Know What I Believe?" "The Nature of Peace and Justice" and "Exploring Racial Justice and Diversity." There is share time to talk about themselves and their concerns.

UUCOD has the program materials, a welcoming space, and a fine, experienced, dedicated director and teacher in Juanita Garner (it's worth coming to church each Sunday just to hear her "Story for All Ages") What we don't have at the present time is many children, and virtually no youth. We are seeking ways to get the word out to parents looking for a peaceful, positive, non-dogmatic, guilt-free religious education for their children. If you have read this far, please tell your friends!

Children start Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary with parents and other adults who welcome their presence, then move to their own space for classes.
