Worship

Red is for worship; the heart, compassion, and love we share together. Don't forget, the "R" in YRUU is for "religious". Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) is a spiritual and religious home for youth. Worship is an important and sacred part of many UU youth events. Youth worship tends to be interactive and non-traditional. It often takes place in a circle, with sharing as a focus.
