Have Faith in God & in me!


Youth Education begins each Sunday morning at 10:30 AM in the main sanctuary. Our children are involved in the very beginning of the Celebration Service with their parents and our loving, caring, and nurturing congregation. When the lessons are about to start, the children are recognized at the front of the church and serenaded as they leave for their Sunday lesson in the Spiritual Cottage, where our Youth Education Director, Cindy Duty, and her Volunteer Staff present a very special lesson called "MOMENTS OF TRUTH WITH YOUTH".

 

Youth Education at Unity of Charlotte

The mission of the youth education at Unity of Charlotte is to provide experiences in a nurturing environment that encourage children to explore, understand and use spiritual principles. Our goal is to grow spiritually through our connection with all people at Unity of Charlotte.

"We all harmoniously unfold together."
--Myrtle Fillmore

Youth Education Focuses on
Affirmations -- Bible verses -- Practical Life Skills
- The affirmations are based on a Unity Principle and a corresponding power such as love, understanding, or faith
- Bible verses & stories are woven into the lessons
- Life skills are integrated in the lesson, to help the youth practice their spirituality
- Sunday activities weave fun & fellowship into the lesson
- Prayer is encouraged and practiced

There are many ways to share your talents with the youth to foster connections with the children of Unity of Charlotte. We strive to be receptive of the youths' perspectives of what they need, and to confirm their spiritual nature.
- Occasionally -Commit to being a Youth Education assistant or facilitator, or help with community youth activities.
- Routinely - Pray for guidance for youth education and for your involvement.
- Once yearly: Share your unique gifts, hobby, practical life skills, or career.


What else do you envision us doing? We want to know, and we look forward to connecting with you!

We are fulfilling the vision of spiritual growth
for the youth and teachers of Unity of Charlotte.
And so it is. Amen!

There is no planet, sun or star
Could hold you,
If you but knew what you are! -- Emerson


Unity of Charlotte has two areas of volunteer possibilities:

  • Nursery (birth through about 4.5 years). We have a new crop of babies that need to be held and loved! 
  • Unikids, Uniteens, and Youth of Unity participate in Unity lessons in the Spiritual Cottage. 

Lessons last about one hour, and consist of the teaching for the day, followed by an activity to reinforce the lesson. All lessons are provided for you and materials are set up prior to the lesson by the Youth Director.  All you have to do is teach!!!  This is a unique opportunity to get to know our children, and to spread the Unity legacy to them.
