Goal:
To consider the idea that UUs agree that it is all right to have different ideas about all kinds of things, including God and to consider some of the different ideas about God that UUs have.

Background

Materials:
Paper doll pattern
White poster board
crayons, markers
Scissors

Activities:

1. Read “UUs Have Different Ideas About God”

2. Make paper dolls.
Trace several paper doll patterns on poster board. Cut them out and color each one. Encourage kids to make each one look different from the others. In the spot where the heart is, ask them to draw a picture of that person’s idea about God or ideas about things they love the most.
Attach the paper dolls together by taping their hands. Hang.

3. Engage kids in conversation about the stories, while you’re making the paper dolls. Tell them your ideas about God. Then ask them:
What ideas do you have about God?
What if someone doesn’t have any idea about God? Is that okay?
Do you like it that UUs have different ideas or do you wish we had one idea that everyone believed?
