HAPPENINGS
FEBRUARY. In February, The
Uniteens and Sunday school kids will be writing a
Valentine to God. This will help them to focus on the
good things God has given us. The Y.O.U. will be working
to overcome hunger in a third world country with the
2012, 30 Hours of Famine event February 24-25.
They are raising money to send to a country where famine
is epidemic. Please support their efforts by making a
donation during February.
MARCH. On March 11th,
during both services, we will be celebrating St.
Patrick’s Day by holding our annual St. Patty’s Pokey
Event. This is where several key people within the
church are held in a prison cell until all your change
is collected by the youth. An amusing fundraiser
for the 2012 Unity Camps for our youth. Watch out, you
may be selected!
APRIL. That brings us to
April and Easter Sunday, which is April 8th.
We’re asking for your colored plastic Easter eggs and
candy to fill them with. The youth will be holding its
annual Easter Egg Hunt. Our church family plants the
seeds of love wherever it goes. The seedlings are our
youth. Our teachers love and support our youth, an
important part of their mission.

Youth And Family Ministries Looking For Teachers
We’re in search of a few talented
teachers for our YFM Sunday school kids. We’re in need
of 2 teachers and 2 assistants. Uniteens are looking for
2 leaders and 3 assistants. Y.O.U. needs 2 or more
sponsors.
Our Sunday School
curriculum is
called
Celebrating my God Self. It’s an
easy to follow book with weekly lessons, an affirmation
and easy to do crafts. It takes less than an hour to
prepare.
Uniteens, ages 11-13
will be studying Eye of the Storm
for Teens. Teens benefit from learning how to embrace
conflict and create peace. This curriculum will help
teens successfully navigate the challenging years ahead
as they work through peer pressure, school pressures,
and biological changes.
Y.O.U., ages 14-18,
will have a challenging year as they study World
religions. As a youth led class, each student will be
responsible for selecting a religion and weighing it
against Unity belief. Some of the religions selected are
Hinduism, Buddhism, Native American/Wiccan, and Islam.
No experience is necessary! Each
group, with the exception of Y.O.U., comes complete with
an assigned curriculum that has easy to follow
directions, including a Sunday affirmation. Your
commitment level could be 1 or 2 Sundays a month and
about an hour of preparation.
Requirements are a love for kids
and teens and a passion for Unity. If this is for you,
please contact the YFM Director, Karen Custer or stop by
the Ark or Y.O.U. room and say Hi. We welcome you |
