Youth Groups….cont. The Senior Youth Group (Grades 10-12) Randy Jennings, Kay MacLaury, Wade Beltramo, Clayton Welch Our youth group meets each Sunday in the Youth Lounge (in the basement of the main building). It is part of Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU), the youth organization of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Our youth group is open to the youth of our congregation and their friends. Our advisors work in collaboration with the youth; all working toward empowering the group to be youth led and directed. YRUU focuses on five components: social action/justice, worship, activities and fellowship, learning, and leadership opportunity. Members may also participate in district and continental events, including District Youth Conferences (Cons) and the Youth Caucus at General Assembly. Cons are held throughout the year at various UU congregations throughout our district. These weekend youth retreats offer opportunities for friendship and spiritual reflection in addition to workshops, worship, dances, shared meals and communal living. Our youth group traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana during Spring Break of 2007 for a remarkable week of service to the people of that city. |
