Rainbow Connection!  An introduction to the 7 UU principles, which are strong values and moral guides. We use storybooks to focus on the values inherent in each principle.
A central concept of Unitarian Universalism is the seven Principles that all congregations affirm and promote. These principles are considered to be strong values and moral guides that each of may use to guide our lives.
Although preschool children are too young to memorize the Principles, we can begin to acquaint them with the ideas behind the Principles. We can focus on the values inherent in each.
The Rainbow Connection uses storybooks for preschoolers to discuss those values inherent in the Principles and in Unitarian Universalism. Four sessions are devoted to each principle, helping preschoolers to explore the values that unite us as UUs.
