In fall of 2005, UUCL started a program for religious exploration based on the “Workshop Rotation” model. We remodeled the upstairs classrooms to reflect the energy and vitality of this new program. In our Studio approach we have an Art studio, Mind/Body/Spirit center, Drama & Life studio, and Mystery studio. Each "semester" of the church year focuses on a theme. Our themes for the past 8 semesters have been:
The Fall 2011 Theme is Peace and Justice. We will have interactive experiences, service projects, and fun learning for all ages. Except for the special Sundays, the children are with the same age group every week. After spending about 15 minutes in the worship service, the groups follow their Guides and their color banner to the appropriate studio. It may sound confusing, but visually the children identify with the color banners and their matching lanyard name tags. In the weekly Order of Service, the age group and Studio location is listed.
In addition to regular classes, there will be a few special Sundays. On some of these Sundays, all children and youth in grades 1 through 8 meet together for a Youth Chapel. On others we have a special All Age Service and the children and youth remain in the sanctuary for the entire service. For instance, we had a youth chapel with music on Sept. 21, and our Animal Blessing Service on Oct. 26.
