Family Religious Exploration
Summit UU Fellowship offers Religious Exploration for Children, Youth, and Adults
Our program is centered on exploring our UU values as stated in the UU Principles & Sources. This is a child, youth and family centered program that supports all in their spiritual growth during this foundational time. We are values-focused rather than belief-focused. We focus on daily acts of kindness as a spiritual community with an aspiration of supporting justice, compassion, and sustainability in the lives of each individual and beyond.
Children’s Religious Exploration: During this continuing time of local health concerns, we are meeting inside for the first part of the service until the Time for All Ages story is complete. Then we head outside for the remainder of the service time for fun activities as we explore the days theme together. We explore our monthly themes together through activities, games and creativite play. Weekly emails are sent out with the plans for the upcoming Sunday so register your family to receive the current information.

Each week we start our time together with a check in and story that introduces the weekly theme. Then we enter in to an activity time that may include fort building, gardening, crafting or games for all ages. Some weeks have a spiritual component like remember our ancestors or centering in on a gratitude practice. Other weeks can include silly science experiments, building with Lego’s or learning about the history of first people of the land we are on through traditional Kumeyaay games. Come join us and experience our Family Religious Exploration in person.
We are currently meeting for family gatherings and following our Summit Covenant of Care guidelines during this continued time of concern for the health and wellbeing of all. All participants over the age of 2 are asked to wear well fitting masks to support the health of the most vulnerable. This is a way of living our values of caring for all. Thank you for supporting this effort. Read our full Covenant of Care linked in the yellow banner at the top of every page.
