For our Families, Youth and Children
A primary reason many people join the First Universalist community is to share our values with the children and youth we are bringing into the world. Here are some of the ways we do that, ways you can be involved socially and spiritually in this important mission, and ways to learn what you need to know about our Religious Education classes. Eventually this website will begin to feature the work of our children and youth directly.
