Youth Program

YFM

 WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YFM THIS SUNDAY?

This past Sunday was Teen Unity focus conversation. We first started the lesson talking about the Power of Power, which is the Power to effect change in the world. It can as simply as a smile or active listening with another. Or it can be change that affects thousands. But to enact this Power, we need the other Powers to support our actions.  
 
The children chose 3 of the 12 Powers to write down on a triangle. Then through conversation, we helped to envision an Act of Service for someone else that combines those three Powers. For example, if the edge of the triangle were Imagination, Zeal, and Wisdom, the center of the triangle was labeled as "Creating", what would a Creative Act of Service would look like in their school or classroom?  
 
This is the challenging work we do every Sunday, to figure out what Powers we have and to honor their Divinity. Then to figure out how to share those Powers with others.  
 
Join us and Let us em-Power each other.
 
 
ABOUT UCP'S YFM PROGRAM

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.
