Winter Youth Con

East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

Youth cons are weekend-long gatherings of UU youth from many churches in the area. During a con, you’ll meet new people, play games, be silly, have good food, learn new things from each other in workshops, maybe participate in a talent (or no-talent) show, worships where you can connect on a deeper level with your new friends, often stay up super late (though you don’t have to), and generally create a temporary “UUtopian” society.
