Our July 2024 theme is Freedom
Prayer: We align ourselves with the truth that our freedom begins within ourselves; it is our being aware of our true spiritual nature, knowing that as spiritual beings, we have been blessed with everything to experience the fullness of the kingdom. We express ourselves freely and are so grateful. And so it is.
Affirmation: I am free with the freedom of Spirit.
Scripture: "If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." Exodus 33:14

Youth and Family Ministry
Youth and their families are welcomed to the Elementary School classroom on Sundays at 11 a.m. on the second through the fifth Sunday of each month. Families can stay for the Opening Circle before joining Sunday Service in Unity Hall. The first Sunday of each month is a multigenerational service, and children are invited to attend Sunday Service with their families. Nursery services are available. Learn More.
Over the summer, our youth will learn about the power of prayer, touching on subjects like God is Always with Us, Liking Yourself No Matter What, The Power of Positive Words, The Importance of Resting, How to Meditate, and Practicing Mindfulness. They will focus on praying for and with each other. Since it is summer, they will also have extra time to enjoy being outside on our beautiful grounds.
