Children's Programs at UUCGL
2025-10-26 | UUCGL, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
From the UUCGL: The Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn (UUCGL) offers programs for children and youth under 18 years of age for the school year 2025-2026, and registration is now open.

You don’t need to go it alone. Parents and caregivers come to Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations because our communities help raise children to be kind, respectful, caring, to celebrate diversity, and be spiritually strong enough to side with love in an increasingly divisive world. Check out our programs at uucgl.org/programs-for-children

SOME THINGS OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN DOING:

Learning about native plants & care for the Earth

Acting, designing sets, & making our own video productions

Visiting neighboring churches & learning about the world’s faith traditions

Making meals for families facing food insecurity

Exploring the world through art

Embarking on field trips & active learning projects

Programming is offered every Sunday morning at 10am, plus afternoon & evening programming for 5th grade & up on select Sundays, September–June.

Your family is invited to join in the exploration and celebration. We’re delighted to have you with us!
