Children

Welcome to a new year of Religious Education at First Parish Milton!

Our programs this year are…

Nursery Care (Sunday mornings, ages birth – 5)
Trained nursery staff care for our youngest children in our nursery space, sharing books, art and toys.

Spirit Play (Sunday mornings, PreK – Grade 2)
In this gentle Montessori based program, children listen to a story and then choose ways to respond to through art, play, and discussion.  Story themes introduce children to the Unitarian Universalist principles and sources and, when possible, connect to the worship theme in the meetinghouse.

Holy Troublemakers and Unconventional Saints (Sunday mornings, Grades 2 – 6+)
Using a curriculum inspired by the book “Holy Troublemakers and Unconventional Saints” by Daneen Akers, our elementary and early middle schoolers will learn about justice-seekers of all religious traditions. We’ll connect these stories with our tradition as Unitarian Universalists and have the opportunity to make our own holy trouble.  

Youth Group (1st and 3rd Sunday 3 pm, Grades 6 – 12)
The youth group will meet every other Sunday afternoon to build community and engage in justice work, often incorporating age-appropriate aspects of the “Holy Troublemakers and Unconventional Saints” curriculum. Our shared time will be shaped by youth input and include opportunities to collaborate with nearby youth groups and participate in UU justice initiatives, which may include meeting at additional times as these opportunities unfold.
