Introducing This Year's Classes

The Treasure Hunters class made this welcome sign for their classroom.

This year our classes for children and youth will be learning about our Jewish and Christian Heritage. Classes will examine the strong relationships of these traditions to our faith and our culture. We will investigate our Jewish and Christian roots in the context of Unitarian Universalism through study of biblical stories, figures, and events in both the Jewish and Christian scriptures.

Our middle school youth will be exploring the life and teachings of Jesus. Today they looked at different pictures of Jesus and wondered about what he may have looked like and what his life was like.
The Middle School Class brainstormed things they have heard about Jesus.


The Explorers class will explore the theme of covenant this year through their study of Hebrew scriptures.
Today they created a class covenant, and learned about the Ark of the Covenant. All ideas on how we should treat one another were put into the box, and then discussed and agreed upon.

The Discovery class learned about each other and their classroom. They learned a new song, and then enjoyed exploring different activities.

It was a busy day in the Lighthouse. Welcome all to a new year!
