This Fall our children will be working through a program called Love Surrounds Us. At the core of our Unitarian Universalist community are our seven Principles. The Principles encompass all the ingredients of a life based on equality, freedom, peace, acceptance, truth, care, and love. This program explores all the Principles in the context of Beloved Community.
The program concentrates on the communities that are most recognizable to young children their Beloved Communities of family/home, school, neighborhood. Participants engage in activities that emphasize the love they feel in community.
Principles are introduced with opening activities and story. The processing through wonder questions is extremely important to allow children to see the Principles at work in the world. Rather than listing the ways love surrounds us when we are treated equally, participants engage in ways to identify equality by the love shown in community.
