At the Unitarian Society of Germantown, we encourage Wonder, Compassion, Mindfulness, Service… and Fun!

We are in our Summer CSD model until August 31. Children and youth are encouraged to go directly to Sullivan when arriving for service. Class will start at 10:30am.

Summer Class Schedule
August 24th – Potion Making with Rev. Hannah
August 31st – Outside Games

Join us September 7 for a multigenerational service to start the new church year.

     Our Wiggle Room space is now in the Committee Room, which is at the end of the Dining Room. Parents can drop their little ones off with Susan before service starts or keep your kids with you through the Time for All Ages before taking them to the Wiggle Room. 
     The Nursery at the rear of the Sanctuary (the room formerly known as the Wiggle Room) will be available for the very littles and their parents.

We’re still looking for adults to join our CSD class on August 31! If you haven’t been part of CSD before, this is a relaxed and low-stakes opportunity to try it out, meet the kids of USG, spend time outside, and HAVE FUN! Get more information and sign up HERE.

Watch here for descriptions of 2025-26 classes.

If you have any CSD questions, please contact Zoë Johnston, USG’s Director of CSD, at dsd@usguu.org. 

Join us here at USG for fellowship and fun!
Registration is always open for CSD* programs!

The Mission of our Children’s Spiritual Development (CSD) program is to:

• Provide developmentally appropriate education that supports the lifelong process of learning to cultivate goodness, compassion, empathy, and love for oneself and others.
• Offer safe and caring spaces for introspective work, connecting to nature, and building right-relationships in community across generations.
• Put into practice hands-on, experiential education for children, facilitators and parents that cultivates respect, stewardship, service, mindfulness, responsibility, justice, and the search for truth and beauty.
• To welcome young people into the UU community, help them find their way into becoming active members, and provide them opportunities to learn the rich history and guiding principles of UU.

We believe if the mission of CSD is fulfilled it will contribute greatly to fulfilling our overarching mission at USG of: Building beloved community with service, compassion and empowerment.

Please see the weekly enewsletter for the most up to date info.

Please Register your Children for CSD

By registering your child this year so that we have allergy and contact info. 

Our program is a co-op. We hope you will consider how you can volunteer during the program year, such as assisting in Sunday’s Children Spiritual Development workshops, helping organize seasonal events, or even lending a hand with administrative office tasks.  

As per new USG safety guidelines, all children should be fully vaccinated if eligible, and have a clean mask for our indoors, well-ventilated time together.  All CSD volunteers are also fully vaccinated.

We are able to offer CSD because of our wonderful volunteers. Thank you for considering volunteering and click HERE for information and links to the required background checks for volunteers.
