Coming of Age Ceremony (8th Grade) will be held at Zoom
Coming of Age Ceremony (8th Grade)
What do you think is the nature of being human?
What do you think happens when we die?
What do you think God is or is not?
These are some of the questions that our 8th and 9th graders have grappled with throughout the year in Coming of Age class. Coming of Age is a beloved tradition in Unitarian Universalism. Instead of asking our youth to sign on to a particular creed or dogma, we charge them with discerning for themselves what they hold dear, using the 7 principles as a guide. To round out the Coming of Age experience, each youth is asked to distill their core beliefs about life, God, and humanity into a personal statement of belief.
The yearlong Coming of Age journey will culminate on Saturday, May 8 with two virtual Coming of Age ceremonies. The 8th grade ceremony will be at 11 a.m. and the 9th grade ceremony will be at 6 p.m. During the ceremonies, each youth will share their personal credo with family, friends, and community members. Coming of Age youth have put in a great deal of time and thought into their statements. On May 8, our congregation has an opportunity to honor and celebrate the thoughtfulness of an incredible group of young people. All are welcome and warmly invited to attend.
