”Coming of Age” - A Celebration!

In our church, notions of a traditional "Sunday School" have been re-defined. Today is our Unitarian recognition of our young peoples' "Coming of Age" - a celebration of  successfully passing through recent trials of endurance. Our young women successfully completed a 30 km hike along the Heysen Trail over two days and our young men canoed a long distances at West Lakes.
Today, our "Sunday Club" young people gathered to tell us about the wisdoms they had learned from their camps at Shady Grove throughout the year and their hopes for the future.

Kris's address to the young people commenced with a quote from Hamlet - Polonius's speech to Laertes "This above all: to thine own self be true..." ...being true to yourself.
And we - older members - of our Church were also invited to hand-on some our wisdoms and insights that might help our young people in how they choose to shape their lives. We were also invited to stay for a lunch prepared by our young people.
