Considering the Needs of Families with Children and Youth in a Church Community

Aug. 6, 2023 11:00 am Jonathan White

As our congregation accepts the task of building and strengthening programs for children and youth, we ask, “what does this really mean?” Who are the children and families we hope to serve? To approach an answer to this big question, we must work together. The Children and Youth Religious Exploration Committee has asked for the help of the Worship Committee to craft a message that invites us all into dialogue. We will listen to what parents have to say as we explore the needs of our children.

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.

“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.”

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
