Children’s Church
By Janet Wilson, Director
Children on the Quest is a curriculum designed for ages 5 through 11. We are currently exploring these lessons in our classes for 1st and 2nd grade and with the older students in grades 3 through 5. The curriculum includes Children’s literature in addition to Bible stories or verses. Our children are attracted to the combination. The materials lend themselves to every day applications of Unity principles. Concepts are presented in a simple, understandable manner. We encourage discussion, questions, and are often amazed with the creative thinkers developing at Unity.
Families from our Youth Education Program gathered the first Sunday of April to share bagels and donuts and meet one another. We will continue to meet the first Sunday of each month at 10:15 am in the pre-school room adjacent to the playground.
Parents attending are interested in meeting other families who are expressing Unity principles in their own lives and sharing them with their children. We want to provide a wonderful support system for families with opportunities to learn, grow and have fun together. Our next 2 meetings will be May 4th and June 1st. Please join us.
Kid’s Camp, a fun and spiritual Unity Camp for students who have graduated from grades 2-5, will be held near Wrightwood, California from June 22nd - 26th. Some of the activities included are archery, canoeing, swimming, morning chapel, vespers, campfires, arts and crafts. Camp can offer a memorable, life changing experience for children.
Complete information regarding Kid’s Camp has been distributed to many Unity families. The deadline for qualified registrations is May 16th and will be accepted on a space available basis. If you have not received the information and are interested, please contact Janet Wilson at 749.9009 or jwils@att.net.
