These words of our affirmation provide the foundation for our religious education programming. Here at the Universalist Church, we work to create a kind and loving community for our children and youth. In this friendly environment, lessons are learned and ideas are shared. We encourage creativity and individual expression. We build upon each child's natural inclination to help others. What greater ideals can we offer our young people than those of peace, love, and service?
