Congregants are invited to come “tell their story” or share their passion with the youth, whether it be through art, craft, adventure, music, or hobby.
Youth participate in community building and foster friendships through activities both inside and out.
We experience individual growth and spiritual development by introducing the arts, global cultures, holidays, and service projects. Activity Sundays may also include age or interest-specific classes.
Most of our classes take place in our beautiful Fellowship Building, though we also utilize our Town Common, wooded trails, outdoor classroom, and patio courtyard. We find an indoor/outdoor balance best serves our youth.
We also try our best to accommodate children who may be sensory-seeking.
Our program offers a variety of quiet, interactive, and physical activities with an understanding of what is appropriate developmentally.
We also provide an assortment of focus implements or fidgets for a mix of needs, such as kinetic sand, Play-Doh, bean and rice bins, Rubik’s Cubes, pipe cleaners, spinners, etc.
Should your child need specific support or accommodations, we will try to meet them.
This after-church sexuality and puberty workshop is offered on select weeks for grades 4-6. It is designed to help children ages 9–12 navigate puberty, body changes, and relationships with accurate, age-appropriate information.
There’s also a separate monthly newsletter, The Family Chalice, especially for families, with info about what’s happening for parents, teens, and kids. And we have a teen newsletter (for teens and their caregivers), Notes from The Glen, that comes out every two months.
