Programs

imageThe programs we share are that which defines us, molds us, and binds us. Sharing our hopes and dreams with each other. Reaching out to others in support, and for support. Weaving the tapestry of love we call community.

We hope that you will find a place to grow with us in community, love, and friendship.


Second Hour

Northwest approved a new schedule designed to maximize the value of our Sunday morning gatherings.  With high gas prices, environmental concerns, and busy schedules, we're all trying to make the most of every trip and every hour.  The Second Hour concept (blatantly stolen from the Emerald Coast UU Fellowship) is designed to give us all new opportunities for kids' religious education, adult classes, social justice programs, and socializing, along with time for attending the Sunday service.

 

This project was voted on May 31, 2009 and the congregation decided they would continue with this programming.  The Learning Ministry is pleased to accept ideas for future classes.

Activity Time

Jennifer Torrence (along with volunteers) guide our children and youth in a variety of activities during Second Hour programming.  The children begin in the service and are then led out to Activity Time.

 

During the first hour on Sundays we will explore different types of art and craft, experience some fun activities, and be all around kids while learning to be in community.

 

Everyone has been enjoying Activity Time!  Please join us!
