Please take the time to read it and post dates of upcoming activities on your calendar. While you see your TUUC friends on Sunday, you hear from us in the Threshold . The warm and loving atmosphere that exists is due to the care given by a regular sitter and the parents who assist on a cooperative basis. This program introduces children to concepts such as birth, death, dreams, nature, and holidays. In this class children explore what home means to them by making a house in which to put a momento.
Children also learn about the homes of animals in their natural habitats.
A Whole Year of Celebrations Children engage in the process of learning about the origins and meanings of holiday and holy day celebrations. Their festivities tell a story which children absorb with delight, through experiences far more than through words. Decorations, colors, costumes, dances, lights, songs, foods, festivity, gifts, excitement, pageantry, solemnity, ceremony, and ritual it is of these that tradition is woven, that memories, beliefs, values, fears, hopes, and reverence are transmitted. Travel in Time is a one-semester course that utilizes the concept of a time machine to portray UU principles, UU history in North America, and the lives of prominent UUs. One objective of the course is to help young people register their own feelings and ideas about their religious identities.
