Coming of Age Celebration

This worship service from April 26, 2020 was created and presented by participants in our Coming of Age program. These ninth graders spent the year exploring their Unitarian Universalist identity, history, spirituality, their feelings and their beliefs. Their work culminates in this worship service where each delivers a personal credo statement that they have developed. Minister of Faith Development Rev. Emily Gage gives a brief introduction and shares her own reflections following the credos. Senior Minister Rev. Alan Taylor also gives a brief reflection. In this podcast, following a brief introduction by CoA Facilitator Pete Malecki, you will hear the credos of the Coming of Age participants. In order, they are Jake Di Maso, Jolie Kennedy, Benny Bellmar, Julien Doyle, Joey Di Maso, Helen Lallos-Harrell and Daizy Lustrup. The theme for April is what it means to be a people of liberation. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections on our website.
