Children’s Chapel is a dedicated, short worship or gathering time created for children and youth as part of their Religious Education (RE) program. Held monthly on the second Sunday, between November 8, 2026, and April 11, 2027.
What Happens in Children’s Chapel
- Age-Appropriate Worship: Children’s Chapel is tailored to younger attention spans and uses language, music, and rituals that kids can easily understand.
- Chalice Lighting: Services often begin with lighting a flaming chalice — the central symbol of Unitarian Universalism — along with a simple reading or song.
- Themes & Values: Lessons focus on UU core values like kindness, interdependence, justice, pluralism, and respect for nature and all people.
- Interactive Elements: Sessions frequently include stories (such as Spirit Play Montessori-style stories), active singing, movement, or hands-on activities rather than long lectures.
