Sunday school is a vital part of children’s Religious Education (RE) about values, beliefs, and relationships that prepare them for successful adulthood. 

With that in mind, UUCDC offers a full program of classes for for pre-Kindergarten through grade 7. Our church school year runs mid-September to mid-May, during which Sunday School is offered from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m or to whenever services end, whichever is later. 

Children begin in the Sanctuary with community worship for a few minutes, then are dismissed to accompany teachers to age-level classes. Occasionally, we have multigenerational worship services. On these days, children, youth, and adults are in the Sanctuary together for the full Sunday service and we share stories and activities that appeal to all ages.

Course Offerings 2023–2024

Preschool (ages 3 and 4)—Rainbow Connection

Our youngest explore Unitarian Universalist (UU) values through picture books, crafts, and play.

Kindergarten—World of Wonder

We are part of an interconnected web. Our Kindergartners explore nature and learn about ways that they can care for the Earth. Throughout the year they will also have opportunities to interact with our Soul Matters monthly themes.

Grades 1 and 2–Faithful Journeys 

Our 1st and 2nd graders begin to consider the ways that they can live out their UU values in their daily lives through true stories of modern UUs, social action, and service opportunities. Throughout the year they will also have chances to interact with our Soul Matters monthly themes.

Grades 3 and 4–Love Connects Us

UUs live out our faith in connected community centered on love. Our 3rd and 4th graders explore the ways in which modern and historical UUs have worked to actively create our faith. Throughout the year they interact with our Soul Matters monthly themes.

Grades 5 and 6–Social Action for Teens and Tweens (September–February)  and Jubilee Kids (March–May)

With a focus on kid-led social justice activities, the first part of the year is spent studying needs within our community and engaging in social action or service projects to address them. In March this group switches to Jubilee Kids, an anti-racism curriculum focused on healthy racial and ethnic identity, historical understanding, and skill building.

When classes have ended in early spring and for the summer, children ages 5 and under are welcome in the Nursery Room in the hall to the right of the entrance to Fellowship Hall. Childcare is provided there during some Sunday services; check the schedule on the Nursery Room door for times the room is staffed. Parents also may always bring young ones to Sunday services. In baskets near the Sanctuary door, we offer activity packs for young kids to help keep little ones amused.

All children attending Sunday School must be registered here. To learn more, please email Chrissy Bushyager, Director of Religious Education, or call 610-566-4853, ext. 203.
