»Preschool Christian Formation
 A vibrant
community of preschool families worships, learns, and plays together at
University Congregational. Families gather throughout the year for
fellowship events, and a summer camping trip has been especially popular.
On Sundays,
children begin their morning in worship before breaking into separate
classes according to age. Nursery care is available during the entire
service for infants, though babies are also welcome to remain in the
service.
Program for Winter-Spring 2008
This fall we
will again be using our Building Blocks of Faith curriculum, written by
members of our congregation. It focuses on six core concepts about
Christianity: 
 This thematic
approach allows us to return again and again to the “big ideas” about God
and Jesus that we hope to instill in our youngest children. Lessons within
each building block feature a mixture of Old and New Testament stories and
verses, prayers, songs, and simple crafts. The lessons provide a suggested
routine for circle time so that children experience continuity from week to
week. Families with multiple preschoolers in the program also experience the
continuity of having all of their young children focusing on the same
building block during the same time period.
9:00 a.m.
During the
9:00am Christian Education Hour one preschool room will be open.
This childcare room will serve children between the ages of
2yrs-5yrs/Kindergarten, offering a safe place for play. Check
the information boards in the narthex and north hallway for location.
 Our
Building Blocks
classes will continue to be held during the 10:00 a.m. worship hour.
The preschoolers and kindergarteners will attend the beginning of worship
with their families and will be dismissed to their classrooms early in the
service
