We’re celebrating the children in our community with our annual Child Dedication Ceremony during worship on April 5, 2026, at 9 and 11 am. This ritual is a way to welcome new children and families of all ages into the congregation, surround them with love, and affirm our shared commitment to their growth and well-being.

All families are invited to take part! Follow the link to register. If you have any questions, contact Amanda at dre@slcuu.org. We’d love to celebrate with you!

We’re excited to offer OWL (Our Whole Lives) for 5th and 6th graders this spring! OWL is a thoughtful, inclusive program that supports youth in understanding themselves, their values, and healthy relationships. Sessions run Sundays, April 12–May 17, plus two Saturdays (April 25 & May 2).

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a thoughtful, inclusive, and age-appropriate sexuality education program that supports young people in learning about themselves, their values, and healthy relationships. It is a meaningful and well-loved part of our religious education offerings, and we are glad to be able to offer it again for our 5th and 6th graders.

Have you been looking for an easy way to support Religious Education? Our Sunday SUUperhero role is one of the simplest, lowest-prep ways to help our program run smoothly. Superheroes assist with welcoming families, helping with check-in, making sure children and youth get to their groups safely, and then helping where needed.

Our program works best when many families share in small acts of volunteering. A handful of families have already stepped up multiple times this year, and we would love to invite families who haven’t had a chance to volunteer yet to consider taking a turn. Even signing up once helps keep RE strong and sustainable for everyone.

Thank you for helping make RE possible!

First Church has lots going on for families, kids, and youth. From Youth Night Outs and Community Dinners to Family Meetups, there’s usually something happening most weeks that’s especially welcoming for children, youth, and families.

To help keep everything in one easy place, we created our Worship Every Way calendar. Each age group has its own tab where you can see upcoming events and a quick guide to what Sundays will look like. You’ll always find the link at the bottom of our weekly newsletter—and it’s a great one to bookmark for easy reference.
