Children & Youth
Orchard Ridge UCC has a long and rich history of ministering to, for and with young people. From mission trips, to school supply drives to intergenerational prayer partner programs, our congregation continues to find new and exciting ways to engage our children and youth in our Christian faith. Please look through the pages listed above for all the different programs and activities.

Our Whole Lives
Our Whole Lives is a year long class on sexuality that we offer to 7th and 8th graders on the alternate year as Confirmation. This meets twice a month from October-May and has at least two retreats. Information about OWL for the fall of 2008 will be posted soon. It is open to children of ORUCC as well as non members.
Tru Function Rock Band
For several years, we have witnessed the growth of our high school rock band, Tru Function. This group practices at 11:15 on Sunday morning and generally plays on the 1st Sunday of the month. If you play an instrument and are interested in participating, please contact organizer John Pray at japray@facstaff.wisc.edu.
Our congregation is a Safe Sanctuary for all children and youth.
