YRUU - Young Religious Unitarian Universalists
YRUU
Grades 9 - 12
Welcome to MVUC's YRUU, a youth-run and adult-advised group active in our local church community and in the larger district-wide youth community. We're open to high school age youth, so just show up!
YRUU meets in the upstairs of the Carriage House after the For All Ages portion of the 11:15 service. Our sessions begin with a chalice lighting and reading followed by sharing of personal experiences during "check in."
Once a month, we meet for an adult-facilitated topic-based discussion. The teens identify, research, and address issues of personal, cultural, social and moral significance.
For more information, contact the Director of Religious Education, Meagan Henry, and ask to be put in touch with the current youth leaders.
YOUTH: For information on district youth events, go to the
Joseph Priestley District Youth Steering Committee website. If you're not on the Google group, get on it! It's always maintained by one (or more) of the youth.
If you are an MVUC member and would like youth to help out with something (book sale, painting your house, babysitting, social action, acrobatics, etc.), and you don't know who to talk to, contact Meagan Henry (703) 765-5950 ext. 105, who can direct you to a member of YRUU. If you'd like to be an advisor for us (commit to us, and you get our unconditional love), also talk to Meagan!
