Unitarian Church of Montreal

Keep Growing!

As Unitarian-Universalists, we celebrate the lifelong pursuit of ever-deepening understanding, and we believe we find it best in each other's company. We offer an extensive and (appropriately enough) constantly evolving program of activities for:

Children from Nursery (up to age 3 or 4) through Grade 5

Youth with two groups: Junior Youth for Grade 6–8, and Senior Youth for Grade 9 through Cégep

Adults with a Young Adult Group and ongoing lifelong learning for adults of all ages

Lyrics to Circle of the Sun, by Sally Rogers

Babies are born in the circle of the Sun
Circle of the Sun on the birthin' day
Babies are born in the circle of the sun
Circle of the sun on the birthin' day.

Spring Will Come

Here are the lyrics for Spring Will Come, by Howard Kaplan. It's just one of many songs we've added to our vast repertoire of music.

I have heard that the mother beaver, 
Feeling crowded within her den, 
Wants to know when her sons will leave her, 
For she soon is to bear again. 
Two long years they have shared her shelter: 
Mud and branches, a floor, a dome.
When the ice dams begin to melt, her 
Sons will leave for another home.        
Tell the beaver the sun is returning.         
Tell her, too, that you heard it from       
One whose kind has been granted this learning:        
Spring will come. Spring will come.   
I have heard of the bear complaining  
That the winter is far too short. 
Days of spring that are warming, raining 
Come too soon, by the bear’s report.
Light and dry, like a falling feather, 
Snowflakes pile; the drifts are deep.
Melting rains and the warmer weather 
Flood his den to cut short his sleep.       
Warn the bear that the sun is returning.        
Tell him, too, that you heard it from       
One whose kind has been granted this learning:        
Spring will come. Spring will come.

Spirit Play - a new trend in Unitarian Religious Education

On Saturday, April 25, one of the three creators of Unitarian Universalist Spirit Play, Nita Penfold, will be coming to Montreal to train an interested group of people from the Unitarian Church of Montreal on Spirit Play. 
Spirit Play is based on the Montessori philosophy of education and is one of the most dynamic and interesting new trends in Unitarian Religious Education.
