Youth Program
Youth and Family Ministry (YFM)
August is here! While summer isn't quite over, we're beginning that exciting transition back to routines, classrooms, and new possibilities.
This month in Youth & Family Ministry, we're exploring Unity's Power of Will—the ability to choose, commit, and take purposeful action. Rather than looking at Will by itself, we'll challenge our children to discover how several of the Twelve Powers can work together to support real-life goals.
What happens when we combine Love, Wisdom, and Order to build healthy friendships at school? How can Imagination, Zeal, and Faith inspire us to prepare for a successful school year? And when a subject feels especially challenging, how can Strength, Will, and Release help us persevere, let go of self-doubt, and grow in confidence?
We'll bring these ideas to life through creative projects such as Power bracelets, cardstock sunflowers, and colorful triangle affirmations that children can display at home as reminders of their intentions and goals.
We can't wait to begin this journey together. WILL you join us?

Thank you for being part of our Youth & Family Ministry. When we bring your Powers together with ours, we help create a more loving, compassionate, and empowered world.
We invite you to join us at Unity Center of Peace on Sundays at 11:00am with your younger family members. While you enjoy our Celebration Service in the sanctuary, they will benefit from participating in our robust, loving, nurturing curriculum for children and youth. All programs are age-appropriate and are led by our carefully selected, and fully background checked, Spiritual Education staff members.
Our YFM rooms are in the upstairs part of the building and Sunday School resides from 11am-12:10pm. Please be sure to sign your child in using the clipboard on the door. Near the end of service, the children will be brought downstairs by the Youth Ed teacher to give a brief announcement about what they did and what they learned and to receive a special UCP blessing by the minister and congretation. We currently do not have a program for teens (Y.O.U). Teens are encouraged to sit in the Sunday Service with their parents at this time.
OUR YFM VISION STATEMENT
We envision young people growing up with a clear grasp of their spiritual nature and power, living from their ability to make a difference in the world, to express love, to choose kindness, to relate authentically, and to model spiritual values.
