RADICAL EXPLORATION
Here at The Unitarian Church of Hinsdale we have RADICAL EXPLORATION! Explorers of all ages will wonder and question, and be curious about themselves, their community and the world. How do the values of Unitarian Universalism shape our interactions with others and how we live? Join the fun on Sundays during the service!! 
GET READY TO HAVE SOME FUN!! |
OVERVIEW BY AGE GROUP
Church life is about community, learning together, and discovering new perspectives. Enjoying grade level classes will provide opportunity for age- appropriate learning, discussion and social time with peers. Play GroUUP (Birth through Kindergarten) For our youngest children from birth through kindergarten, paid high school youth and adult volunteers will provide an opportunity for the children to learn through play, build relationships with the church and its members, and have fun during “church time”. Chapel Children (First Grade through Sixth Grade) For our Chapel Children the theme for the year will be “How do we UU?” Each week we will explore our core UU Values of justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence, and generosity. We will explore and wonder how best we can live out those values in our families, our schools, our community, and in the larger world. YOUTH GROUP (Seventh grade through Twelfth Grade) Our youth group will begin the year by enacting a murder mystery play to develop skills of deductive reasoning, logic and careful examination of facts to determine truth. Using those skills, they will then tackle difficult questions that impinge on their lives as teenagers in a tumultuous world using their UU values as a guide. Exploring these questions will highlight life’s greatest lesson that no questions can be answered by quick and convenient assumptions and that truth or solutions requires hard work and much thought. |
Our Director of Religious Education, Pam Fodor, with support from our strong Religious Education Committee, takes great care in preparing fun, captivating, classes, workshops, activities and worship services to help our young people explore their Unitarian Universalist beliefs and values as they grow and mature.
