Growing together in body mind and spirit
Our groups for Elementary age children focus on developing a strong community of care and connection with peers and adult mentors. Our Sunday groups help kids to:
- Grow in Self Awareness
- Connect in a Caring Community
- Experience Mystery and Awe

- Live our Foothills mission of “Unleashing Courageous Love in Northern Colorado and Beyond.”

Our Elementary School Groups
Our Sunday groups for Elementary Kids meet during our church services
8:30AM UU & Me | ages 3 -7
We offer a group for a combined age group of children during our 8:30 am church service. This group will explore the 7 UU Principles in the context of Beloved Community of family/home, school, neighborhood. Kids engage in activities that emphasize the love they feel in community.
10:00AM UU & Me| 1st Grade
The UU Principles encompass all the ingredients of a good and faith-filled life based on equality, freedom, peace, acceptance, truth, care, and love. In this group we will explore the 7 UU Principles in the context of Beloved Community of family/home, school, neighborhood. Kids engage in activities that emphasize the love they feel in community.
10:00AM Kind Kids | 2nd/3rd grades
Every day our children go forth into a complex world where they are often faced with difficult decisions and situations. This group features stories from sources that give kids spiritual and ethical tools they will need to make choices and take actions reflective of our Unitarian Universalist values of compassion and justice.
10:00AM Transformers|4th/5th grades
This group invites fourth- and fifth- grade kids to reflect on the qualities of our Unitarian Universalist faith, such as integrity, courage, and love, as tools they can use in living their lives and building their own faith. Each of the 16 sessions uses a tool as a metaphor for an important quality of our faith such as reflection (symbolized by a mirror), flexibility (duct tape), and justice (a flashlight).
11:30AM UU & Me| Kindergarten – 3rd Grade
The UU Principles encompass all the ingredients of a good and faith-filled life based on equality, freedom, peace, acceptance, truth, care, and love.

It’s Just a Phase: Elementary School
Elementary school kids are busy and rapidly changing
Children in elementary school have busy days filled with school, activities, computer games, fun and then fights with their friends. They have a lot of natural curiosity about living things and enjoy having pets. They are still impulsive but are beginning to think and plan ahead.They have a thousand questions. This age group has good and bad days just like adults. As they move into their preteen years, some are still “little kids” and others are quite mature. Some are already entering puberty, with body, emotions, and attitude changes. These children begin to think logically and they want to “do church” – learn how we worship, serve and live out our faith.
