The Fifth Dimension

Sundays | 10 - 11 am | Sponge RoomSundays | 11:30 am - 12:30 pm | Sponge Room
This summer, our middle and high school youth will experience “The Fifth Dimension,” a curriculum based on Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone. Mr. Serling converted from Judaism to Unitarianism in college and used radio, television, and film as "vehicles of social criticism" dealing with issues ranging from censorship to racism to war. The Twilight Zone incorporated Serling's liberal social views on racial relations, war, gender roles, addiction, extremism, violence, ageism, consumerism, and other social issues of the day.
This pop culture phenomenon is a great way to allow youth to examine ethical and theological issues, while having fun. Learn more on our website!

Corey Smith leads our Youth Department and this engaging curriculum.

OUR WHOLE LIVES SEXUALITY EDUCATION

Honest, accurate information about sexuality changes lives. It dismantles stereotypes and assumptions, builds self-acceptance and self-esteem, fosters healthy relationships, improves decision making, and has the potential to save lives. For these reasons and more, we are proud to offer Our Whole LIVES (OWL), a comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education curricula at All Souls. Interactive workshops and activities engage participants, while step-by-step instructions for program planners and facilitators help ensure success.

Seven curricula speak to participants' needs by age group:

kindergarten and first grade
fourth and fifth grade
seventh and eighth grade
high school
young adult
adult
and older adult

Our whole lives helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their relationships, sexual health, and behavior. With a holistic approach, Our Whole Lives provides accurate, developmentally appropriate information about a range of topics, including relations, gender identity, and expression, sexual orientation, sexual health, and cultural influences on sexuality.

We plan to offer OWL programs for all ages during the 2022-2023 church year.
