Youth Group 13-20 yearsOur youth group meets on Sunday mornings at 10:30am
Our youth group works with our advisers to decide, as a team, how we want to achieve our goals: Creating social change, learning more about ourselves, honouring the holy world around us, building community, and having a good time together. One Sunday per month, we spend the service in the Sanctuary. Another, we create our own worship service together, just for us. The rest of the time - before and after services, and on free Sundays - we do other stuff together: |

Art days, discussions about big questions and how to live our principles, fundraising for our trips to the UUNO conference in New York, or just hanging out gaming, baking, gardening, and watching movies.

Coming of Age at FirstU
Coming of Age is a year-long program that gives young people, age twelve and up, the time and space to deeply explore their own unique beliefs about the nature of the world and their place in it. Youth are paired with mentors, and through retreats, workshops, guest speaker visits, and discussions, they develop a personal understanding of what they believe and put those beliefs into words – or dance or music – as individual statements of faith.
For the most part, children identify with the faith beliefs of their parents and family. The Coming of Age program signals the beginning of individual spiritual searching; it is an official recognition that the youth involved have begun to search for personal truth.
We are in the early stages of planning Coming of Age in the new church year. For this to happen, we need your help! If you are interested in being a facilitator or acting as a mentor to one of the youth,
please contact Neo to volunteer.
