»Preschool/Kindergarten Christian Education
 A vibrant
community of preschool and kindergarten families worships, learns, and plays together at
University Congregational UCC. Families gather throughout the year for
fellowship events, and a summer camping trip has been especially popular.
Please see page 2 of Church
and Home for current event listings.
On Sundays,
children begin their morning in worship, often sitting with their families
in the front left pews before breaking into separate
classes according to age. We have two main classes: toddler/twos and
three/four/fives. Nursery care is available during the entire
service for infants, though babies are also welcome to remain in the
service. Childcare is also offered beginning at 8:45 a.m. for children
whose parents participate in activities in church.

School and Youth Program Registration
Program for the School Year
We are using our Building Blocks of Faith curriculum, written by
members of our congregation. It focuses on six core concepts about
Christianity: 
 This thematic
approach allows us to return again and again to the “big ideas” about God
and Jesus that we hope to instill in our youngest children. Lessons within
each building block feature a mixture of Old and New Testament stories and
verses, prayers, songs, and simple crafts. The lessons provide a suggested
routine for circle time so that children experience continuity from week to
week. Families with multiple children in the program also experience the
continuity of having all of their young children focusing on the same
building block during the same time period.

at home here at University Congregational UCC. |
