Our congregation takes the safety of our children very seriously. To that end, we adopted a "Safe Congregation" guideline that encompasses our entire community and safety of our children.
Location of Children's Rooms in Emerson UU Chapel
Quiet coloring activity items are located on a table in the back of the sanctuary. Children may collect a clipboard and a coloring bag to use during the first part of worship. Please return all items to the table at the end of worship hour.
Also, on the same table with coloring sheets and crayons, you will find a basket with a Joys & Concerns form for children to bring with them to Children’s Chapel. Parents can help little ones fill out the sheet if they have something in particular they would like to share with the group. Sheets can be placed back into the basket or carried to Children’s Chapel by each child. Please contact Kelly if you have any questions.
