First Universalist Church of
West Chesterfield
Welcome to the community of the
First Universalist Church of West
Chesterfield. Devoted to
community growth and
compassion through faith,
togetherness, and spirituality.
Religous Education Update
SPRING! We are finally here. It has not been a particularly
cold or dreary winter, but I am glad to see the birds and little
peep frogs back again. Over the winter months we have
been reexamining the needs of our Sunday school students
and revamping our curriculum to suit them.
It is with our older students in mind that we shift our focus
from the general biblical knowledge of the traditional stories
to a curriculum built on public service to our community and
character development. These are two very strong core
values of the Unitarian Universalist Principles and we are
very blessed to have a small group of conscience youths to
carry out such a program. The older children of our church
will be working through GenerationOn's Kids Care Club
group, which helps schools, churches and other
organizations run service projects in an effort to increase
youth involvement for philanthropic causes.
Although not as detailed, the younger children will be
following a similar path. They will still be cycling back
through their biblical stories, however they will be building
upon the knowledge of giving and love through community
service and care. These children will be doing paired down
versions of the service projects that the older children will
do, with a stronger focus on how they relate to the stories
that we have heard and the UU principles.
We are very excited to begin this new season. We hope that
you will join us!

Our deepest gratitude goes out to Merrillyn Courser and Charles
Butterfield who graciously donated their time and talent to provide
the organ music for our Service of Appreciation and Candlelight
Service, respectively! Both services were greatly enhanced by the
beautiful music they provided.
The community is always invited to
attend our weekly services. A
children's religious education class
will be offered. Refreshments and
fellowship will follow the service.

The church continues to search for a generous soul, or souls, who may be willing to donate
their musical talent to provide service music either weekly, or occasionally. While our
congregation has traditionally enjoyed organ or guitar accompaniment during our weekly
services, we are receptive to other musical talents.
If you, or someone you know may be interested, please contact Nancy Brooks at
