Youth and Family Ministry (YFM)


LAST SUNDAY'S LESSON RECAP
This past Sunday (8/2), we had four wonderful students start their lesson on the Power of Will.  We talked about the components that make up the Power—Choice, Commitment, Willingness—and how we can use these ideas in our everyday lives.
 
We then started a new project where the students will be making flowers “grow” from their will, each week adding Powers and affirmations (in the form of “petals”) that connect to their Power of Will. This week they added the Powers of Release, Understanding, and Love. We had a short discussion about the impact each of these has within the scope of ‘willingness’.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS SUNDAY
Join us next week as we continue our discussion about the Power of Will and how we can enact these ideas using the Powers of Life and Faith. We will be continuing our flower project as well.
 
Come and share what you know, so that together, as a commUnity, we can continue to strengthen our Powers!
 
A wonderful week ahead, for all of us :)


AUGUST NEWSLETTER
 
 
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.
