CVUUS for Kids
Religious Exploration
The main CVUUS worship service is from 10 to 11. During normal times, this is how it works. Kids stay for the first 15-20 minutes of the service to typically hear the welcome, a reading, sing a hymn with the congregation, and hear the “Time for All Ages” (a story or something designed with kids in mind). The kids are invited to sit up front for the last part (but they don’t have to and some as the more cautious just stay in their seats). After that, we sing an exit song and they leave to go right next door, for Religious Exploration (RE), which is the name for our programs for kids. At around 11, the kids have snack together, and then come back to join the adults at Social Hour at 11:15.
Activities are different every Sunday.

SOUL MATTERS THEMES- new!
This year, our whole congregation will be using the Soul Matters themes: in our RE program, Worship, and our Small Group Ministries. Soul Matters is a monthly series of resources for Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations. The themes focus on a spiritual value that our UU faith calls all of us to embody in our lives such as Invitation, Deep Listening and Repair.
