For this Sunday (6 September 2026), our children and youth will begin our first pillar of the church year — Unitarian Universalist Identity — where we focus our shared religious identity, history, and heritage.

This Sunday’s topic is “Love at the Center: Our Unitarian Universalist Identity” focusing on the most important of our shared values — love that is at the center of our faith.

Special art projects in Maggie’s art studio will continue as an integral part of these sessions.

As is customary  on most Sundays, the children and youth will still join us for worship in the large conference room for the first 15 minutes or so before they are dismissed to their activities.

Maggie, Kevin, and Dominique will be with our children and youth — parents who would like to see where their children will be going are always welcome to take the trip downstairs with the group and either stay for the class or come back upstairs.

Maggie has graciously opened her studio to our children and youth which allows them to keep their own materials in the same place from week to week, and provides the opportunity for messier fun each week than if we were using the small conference room upstairs — thank you Maggie!!

Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education (6 September 2026)

Please join us on Sunday (6 September 2026) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class.

Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person at the Highland Center and also on Zoom.

On this Sunday, we will continue our discussion of the book Erasing History:  How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future by Jason Stanley.

Our discussion for this Sunday will cover chapter 5 (“Anti-Education”).

The chapter explores the reasons why quality public education that is accessible to all is such a threat to authoritarian regimes.

Bear in mind that although the book was published before the 2024 election, a paperback edition has come out since then.

The Preface in the 2026 paperback edition is different from the Preface to the 2024 e-book edition.

We will be meeting in the small conference room of the Highland Center.  Park in the back parking lot on Topeka Street and come in through the ramp-accessible entrance.  Take the first hallway to the right and enter first room on the right.  And you can join us via Zoom.

Summer Fun for Children and Youth (30 August 2026)

During the summer months, our children and youth religious education activities are a mixture of fun and creativity.

Our children and youth will continue their summer art activities in our new church home.

Now that we are in The Highland Center, our children and youth will be using Maggie’s art studio downstairs for their summer fun art activities and will continue religious education classes in this location in the fall.

The group continues their summer art activities in Maggie’s studio this week by creating more creatures and other art from recycled materials.

Parents who would like to see where their children will be going are invited to take the trip downstairs with the group and either stay for the class or come back upstairs.

Maggie has graciously opened her studio to our children and youth, which allows them to keep their own materials in the same place from week to week and it provides the opportunity for messier fun each week than the small conference room upstairs.
