Youth & Family Ministry

UNIKIDS – KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE
Our Unikids meet on Sundays 10:25-11:25 a.m. with a puppet show, creative activities, songs, games, meditation, and prayer to ground their body, mind, heart, and spirit as they enhance their understanding of God in their being and in the world. The group is led by Alice Sparks, with her years of experience as a Unity prayer chaplain, teacher, parent, and grandparent and by Doris Hicks, puppeteer.

UNITY TEEN GROUP – 6th-12th GRADE
The Unity Teen Group gathers on Sundays 10:25-11:25 a.m. with guidance from Jim Drews. Jim brings a deep and practical under-standing of Unity principles and how to help youth develop their spiritual powers in daily life. For example, we can see the power of STRENGTH modeled by spiritual giants such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama. The teens share how they have each faced daily situations that require the strength of conviction and compassion. UNITY TEEN GROUP PURPOSE STATEMENT: Our purpose in coming together is to share a supportive trust culture focused on mindfulness, expressing our higher self, and experiencing our oneness with the Source of all life through creative exploration and fun activities. 

YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRY PRAYER
In each sacred hour, Youth and Family Ministry welcomes every child and every family into the loving Heart and caring Hands of the Divine. Each one is a radiant expression of the Christ-Light, unfolding in perfect time, guided by their inner presence of Wisdom. We see and acknowledge this Presence in each of us and in everyone we encounter each day in our spiritual home and in the greater community.
And so it is.

VOLUNTEERS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS 
If you love children and are ready to grow and learn, we have many opportunities in our Youth & Family Ministry. If you are not available to teach or assist on a weekly basis, it's okay. We have a team approach to making a difference in the lives of our children and teens. We also offer the opportunity to "Share Your Joy" by sharing a talent or project for one hour on one Sunday. We are here to offer a positive, uplifting experience for children of all ages, from baby and toddler to high school.
