SENIOR HIGH YOUTH GROUP
Coming of Age and Bridging
The curriculum this church year is “Coming of Age for those in grade 9-11 and “Bridging” for those in 12th grade.
Coming of Age:
Unitarian Universalist teenagers usually join their congregations with a special “Coming of Age” ceremony. This ceremony is often preceded by a year-long curriculum helping them to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and articulate their own beliefs. The Coming of Age ceremony usually features the youth reading their statements of personal belief (credo statements) to the congregation. The teens are assigned a mentor who meets with them through t the church year and guides them through their individualized ceremony (usually late Spring).
