Classes for 4th & 5th Graders

Children in fourth and fifth grades may begin to find themselves engaged in conversations about religion with their peers. This is a wonderful time for them to learn that the complex tradition of what is often called the “Old Testament” is important as a primary source from which Unitarian Universalism developed.

 Carefully crafted lessons will help them tap into some of the great wisdom found in the Hebrew scriptures – ideas about trust, personal responsibility, and justice. The essential Unitarian Universalist theme of covenant – that reaching out (or in) to create a transcendent bond among members of a community – runs like a thread through this curriculum.
