Chalice Home
There are home components for our programming. Links will be posted in the news and sent by e-mail each month. Chalice Home helps families stay connected to church and grounded in their faith during this time of Covid-19. Each monthly Chalice Home packet will be designed to be sent to your families and will include a family worship and family activity that is built around adding a new item/symbolic object to your family's home "altar" or as we refer to it, "Chalice Home." These activities and objects will connect to our monthly themes and lift up a different source of spiritual nourishment. Chalice Home is about making additional space for church connection while we are physically separated from our church.

Soulful Home
Whereas, Soulful Home is designed to weave our faith into everyday family activities you are already doing. Families get a packet at the beginning of each month that is organized around eight distinct family "spaces" with ideas and resources to fill those spaces with UU theme-based exploration. All packets will be designed with Covid-19 social distancing measures in mind.

Curricula
Northwest uses a 3-year theme rotation:
  • 2017-18: Our Unitarian Universalist Faith
  • 2018-19:  Judeo-Christian Heritage and UUism
                           Youth Group:   Expressions of our UU Faith 
  • 2019-20:  World Religions and UUism 

Every two to three years we offer two special children/youth programs:
  • Our Whole Lives, a comprehensive sexuality education program for grades 4-6 and 7-9, and
  • ​Coming of Age class for 8th graders in which they learn more intensively about our faith and do service projects with the help of a mentor. 
These two programs will next be offered in the 2018-2019 church year. 

Each year we also do theme-based ministry for adults and children for two or three months.  This allows for in-depth exploration on a topic for one month.  Past themes have included such themes as forgiveness, compassion, death and loss, and joy.
