We have a large and active group of teens and middle schoolers who are enthusiastic about Sunday mornings at 11 am. There is a variety of programming. You can find out more about the groups and how to register at the Sunday School Page.
They include:
• Exploring world religions in Neighboring Faiths. This is the only class that is offered at both 9:15 and 11am
• Finding out about sexuality- OWL or Our Whole Lives. One group for 8th graders and another for grades 10-12.
• Connect with other high school youth - Interfaith Leadership
• Rites of Passage Program for 9th Graders - Coming Of Age
Other Great First UU Experiences
High School Justice Trip – High School teens are eligible to take a life-changing journey in the spring. In June 2010 a group of 17 youth and 9 adults went to New Orleans to help with the rebuilding. In June 2012 the group will attend our first ever Justice General Assembly and work with immigrants and immigrant rights groups in Arizona. . Sign up when your register for Sunday School.
Youth Groups – Meets twice a month for lunch, hanging out, fun, social justice projects and service to the congregation. They frequently travel to swim, bowl or to an entertainment event. The groups usually lunch together and then divide into senior high and middle school groups. Sign up using the youth/teen registration form.

Worship – Though most teens prefer Sunday School, on Sunday mornings it is not unusual to see teenagers in the worship service – in the pews, in the choir or playing an instrument. You can find out more about our choirs on the Music Page. Training as a Worship Coordinator is open to teenagers. Indicate your interest in these options when you register for Sunday School.
