Children & Youth Ministry Programs for 2024-2025
Pre-K/Kindergarten: (children under age 3 welcome to attend with their grown-up) UU Princeton is a warm and welcoming place where we make friends and experience a sense of wonder and respect for the world around us. With Chalice Children we become familiar with our space and rhythm of our Sunday mornings together.
1st-4th Grades: Lego ValUUes introduce our UU values (pluralism, interdependence, generosity, equity, justice, transformation, and love, plus kindness) through storybooks, discussion, and play activities — including legos!
5th-6th/7th/8th* Grades: This year we will be guided by the program Windows and Mirrors. Together we will deepen our ability to identify our own experiences and perspectives and to seek out, care about, and respect those of others. We will unpack topics that lend themselves to diverse experiences and perspectives—for example, faith heritage, public service, anti-racism and prayer. There are always multiple viewpoints and everyone’s viewpoint matters.

7th-9th Grade Our Whole Lives (OWL) Sexuality Education: OWL is Values-Based, Comprehensive, Inclusive Sexuality Education. These sessions are developmentally appropriate for middle school youth and rising 9th graders. As UUs we believe that honest, accurate information about sexuality changes, and can save, lives. It dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, and improves decision making. You can learn more about OWL here. Our OWL program is in collaboration with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Washington Crossing.
Program Schedules:
Sessions for Pre-K-7th/8th* grades are on Sunday mornings and begin after “Wonder & Wisdom” in worship, approximately 10:45am, with the exception of 7th-9th Grade OWL and Youth Group.
Schedule for Pre-K/K, 1st-4th Grades and 5th-6th/7th/8th* groups can be found here.
7th-9th Grade Our Whole Lives (OWL) is in collaboration with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Washington Crossing. There is a mandatory parent orientation for OWL on October 6 from 1pm-3pm at UU Princeton. Meeting locations will alternate month to month between UU Princeton and UUCWC.
