Children grow up anyway.  They grow up first into teenagers, ultimately into adults.  They need to make some decisions about what they believe and how they want to act in the world, personal decisions they can always come back to, that is, if they want to lead good lives.  Our Unitarian Universalist congegation continues the practice of leading children to their own conclusions rather than indoctrinating them in a fixed code as we prepare them for adult life in our Coming of Age Program.  It's a special time when younger youth in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades can spend a year reflecting on their own beliefs, learning from examples of lives well lived, and finding their own voices on spiritual matters.  We invite all those who want to encourage their children in spiritual development in a very open way, to consider participating in this program.  Please do check out our website, www.uumanchester.org, for more information, or come see us on Sunday mornings at 10:00 at 669 Union Street, Manchester.
