What does it mean to deeply engage our own spiritualities in a particular moment in time? How do we embody our Unitarian Universalist sources of faith and shared values? Join the 2026 Coming of Age cohort to witness their growth and experience their unfolding and unique spiritualities. Youth will share excerpts from their co-created zine and a glimpse into the May 13 Coming of Age Ceremony.
