Spiritual Exploration Programs
​​Spiritual Exploration for Children and Youth
​
Join us for the CUUB SE (Spiritual Exploration) Class, on Sunday mornings, where children have the chance to dive into their spirituality through fun, games, creativity, and engaging lessons! This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our UU values and explore our rich history in a supportive and dynamic environment.
​
This year CUUB's Spiritual Exploration class will be using the Soul Matters curriculum which covers a different theme relevant to Unitarian Universalism each month. This year, Soul Matters is focusing on the new shared values flower tied together with "The Gift of..." and each month's theme will connect with, or elaborate on, a shared value.
September: The Gift of Welcome
October: The Gift of Heritage
November: The Gift of Generosity
December: The Gift of Mystery
January: The Gift of Liberating Love
February: The Gift of Justice & Equity
March: The Gift of Transformation
April: The Gift of Interdependence
May: The Gift of Pluralism
June: The Gift of Renewal
Spiritual Exploration classes will generally include a story, discussion, and games or activities that tie into the theme of the week.
