Grades 6-8 "MUUGS"
This group is about beginning to make the transition to making their own choices and decisions. With the guidance of their advisors, these youth will choose the lessons presented by the advisors in the areas they would like to study. This year MUUGS will have the overlying theme of Human Rights and Social Justice.
MUUGS are also working diligently on the MDUUC Peace Garden. Fruits and vegetables benefit nonprofit organizations that serve low income families. Through Lemonade sales after church services, MUUGS raise funds to maintain the garden.

Coming of Age
Coming of Age is a district and congregational partnership program for youth in grades 8 -10. With the help of a mentor and supported by curriculum from their own congregation, youth attend a series of retreats (3 weekends) within the Pacific Central District and develop goals around the concept of integrating the teen years into emerging adulthood, while gaining a clear understanding of themselves, and of their place in the church and the world.
