Goals (Wonderful Welcome)

Wonderful Welcome will:

Expand children's understanding of their relationships with others, including people they know, people they will meet and all life that shares our planet
Create opportunities for children to identify and practice a wide variety of welcoming behaviors; activate children's capacity to welcome many manifestations of the interconnected web of life, including people, animals and the natural environment
Teach children the concept of "intangible gifts," qualities that can be shared but cannot be seen or held
Teach the importance of welcoming as an act of Unitarian Universalist faith and as an expression of our Unitarian Universalist Principles
Develop and enrich children's sense of belonging to their religious education peer community, their congregational community and the larger Unitarian Universalist faith community
Introduce practices of stewardship
Help children create a shared atmosphere that encourages a sense of reverence, awe, gratitude and wonder.
