WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRY THIS SUNDAY?

This past Sunday we started our monthly exploration of the Power of Understanding. We used the iconography of a Spiral as a way to come to an Understanding and as a process for managing mis-Understanding. The four step process is to start with a "being with" of Love, an opening our hearts with Curiosity, asking Questions for information, and expressing Gratitude for the other person sharing. Then the process continues over and over so that it can bring us into deeper a Understanding of... . This process can also be used to Understand ourselves, to Understand another, and to Understand the powers and 'purposes' of God, Nature, Universe, and our humanness in this creation.  
 
Next week, we will continue to talk about the Power of Understanding and how it applies to our development socially and spiritually. How can we come to an Understanding of God's purpose for us? Be Love, Ignite Curiosity, Ask Questions, express Gratitude.
 
Join us for a (seemingly) simple practice of Understanding.
 
 
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.
