Summer Sunday Program
Page history last edited by M.Howald 5 mos ago
The Summer program is offered to children headed into grades 1-5. We will be using the format from a Montessori based program called Spirit Play which involves a short lesson presented in story form followed by open ended discussion and time for individual work. The individual time may involve further exploration of a story or use of art materials.

Sacred Spaces

Looks at the ways that people have created places to pray. From the UU chalice on the altar, to Stonehenge, to a mosque to a Chapel; there are many places that are made so people can go and experience the Mystery.

Tibetan Prayer Flag

If the budget will allow for it, I will try to find some sets of small, unprinted flags to add to the art projects for this lesson. Otherwise we will encourage the use of colored construction paper and string!
