Affirmation: Eighth Grade

Affirmation: Eighth Grade

Offered at 9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.

Affirmation is a program that invites young people to explore their own faith as Unitarian Universalists. In a process that encourages independent thinking, assuming responsibility, exploring values and identity, students are asked to clarify their understanding of faith, Unitarian Universalism and their relationship to North Shore Unitarian Church. Affirmation is more involved than any of the programs for younger children, and requires a high level of family participation. Beyond the weekly class period, Affirmation consists of several other elements:
  • Mentoring Program
  • Affirmation Project
  • Statement of Faith
  • Heritage Trip to Boston
  • Calendar
Affirmation is unique because it is only one of two classes that does not start in morning worship with the rest of the congregation. Unless it is a special service, students go directly to Bletzer Hall at 9:15 or 11:15.
