YFM LESSON RECAP OF THE WEEK 

This past week, we spent time sharing items that we Love and then defining what we Love about it. We then wrote down words to describe what and why we Love it. We then associated other items or people that within our sphere of influence that we could connect with in Love. Last, we spent a few minutes thinking about how we can extend our Light of Love to that which we "don't Love". But it was only a brief exploration. We'll continue to explore how we can Love others through the extension of our Love.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT SUNDAY? 
If we can center what we Love, define the qualities of how or why we Love it, can we then extend that Love to something or someone we don't Love? Since we are coming to the Unity Center of Peace, I'll assume yes. The challenge is enacting that process. But that is for this coming Sunday. Join us. Share with us what and why you Love, and we can then share our communal Light of Love with the broader community. 
 
And Get Ready: On February 15th, we'll have our first rehearsal for the Children & Adult choir as we prepare for an Easter performance.

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.
