After the Wonder Box story, they may choose a breakout room to partake in one of our UU Values workshops: Wonder, Courageous Community, Authentic Connection or Love in Action. Each workshop will be lead by two screened adults, per our Safe Congregation Policy. These can all be drop-in as they happen at the same time as our Sunday morning services.

Online Faith Formation

Near the beginning of every month, at-home church kits will be available. These kits will include activities for your child/youth to do at home and will be related to our monthly themes and core UU values. Is your family interested in the monthly at-home kits? In September you will receive a box with refill packets added each month.

If you signed up for at-home church kits, please let us know how we can get them to you. We would plan to come to the church for a socially distanced pick up in the church parking lot once a month with church staff. If we won't be able to come pick them up we would like them to be delivered. I can offer help deliver packets to families in my area.

Please share the kind of program your family is interested in participating in this year

Monthly Zoom breakout rooms during worship for kids with opportunities for youth helpers.

Volunteers Needed For Parents and Teens consideration...

Monthly At-Home Kit Distribution Help I am able to help deliver at home kits to families houses once a month. I am able to help deliver occasionally, but I would like more information

Monthly Workshops for Faith Formation: Our Faith Formation Workshops for our children cannot run without volunteers to lead these classes. Are you interested in leading an occasional 20 minute workshop for our children?

Yes, I would accept an invitation to help co-lead a kids Zoom workshop on a Sunday morning. No, I am not able to volunteer in this way this year. I would like more information

Please share availability and interest in volunteering this year. Our goal is to offer ways to support and connect with one another this year and not add to the burdens of the day. Please be gentle with yourself in how you interpret this question.

Our faith formation program is made possible by shared leadership between staff and volunteers.

There are many ways to connect and engage with our faith formation program even for our busiest families!

All volunteers are trained by Faith Formation Director, Sadie Kahn-Greene, and background checked. We always have two adults present with children and youth and have a thorough Safe Congregation Policy which can be found on our church website.

All our Faith Formation led programs will continue to follow this policy and will have two screened adults running these sessions.

You are welcome to join for our Faith Formation kids Zooms or workshops as needed to support your children online as needed.

Anytime your child is online for a church program that is not a Faith Formation children's program, we require that you attend along with them, just as you would be with them for whole church events. Thank you for helping keep our children connected safely when online!

Lastly,
This year is like no year we have collectively been through before. This pandemic effects us all differently. It can be isolating and we hope that connections with others along the way (especially at church!) can be a gift and a blessing! We hope to get to know you and your family better as you join us in worship and events this year.

After families have been with us for a year, adults will be eligible to volunteer in our faith formation children's program. We look forward to supporting you in finding a meaningful way for you to connect!

Please add any questions or wonderings about our Faith Formation program or this coming year of remote church and we will be in touch!
