High School Curriculum 2016/17

A Place of Wholeness (Tapestry of Faith)

By Beth Dana and Jesse Jaeger
Youth, like adults and children, need to be able to talk about what it means to be Unitarian Universalist. Whether delivering an “elevator speech,” taking part in an interfaith dialogue, or conversing with friends at the lunch table, youth need practice in describing our multifaceted faith in terms that are personally meaningful and true. Building upon the faith development of Coming of Age and other UU identity programs, this curriculum encourages youth to look inward for a clearer understanding of their personal faith and guides them to express that faith outward into the world.

If you know an individual in high school who is interested in learning and growing as an interfaith leader, our high school youth group is a welcoming community. Try us out on any Sunday!

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the "other" is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Stephanie Palmer-Smith, Director Religious Exploration: I came to find friends. I stay because they became my family.

Sej Harman, Member: I chose the UUCC as my spiritual home nearly 40 years ago because this community acknowledged my talents and abilities, encouraged me to flourish as a unique individual, and expected me to help bring about a better world—without having to bow down to anyone else's idea of what I should believe or how I should be.

Best Church:
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

"A church where skepticism is welcome and adherence to dogma is suspect? A church where all religions are invited but none are beyond introspection? A church that regularly presents nationally touring singer-songwriters? A church where half the congregation might have been at Hunter-Gatherer the night before? Now that’s a church we can support."

Dan Cook Free Times

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.
