Ministry with Children and Youth: Fellowship

Families will find a rich landscape of social opportunities to create bonds between children and between families.

Parents’ Night Out
Watch for upcoming dates!
Get to know other Unity parents while church provides free childcare! Volunteers will care for your children ages 6 months through 12 years; the only stipulation is that parents use this time to get to know other adults from Unity! Advance registration is required and spots are limited by our Safe Church policy.

Sunday Coffee Hour
Following each service, coffee hour is held in the Parish Hall. A special kids' space is set up so that families with children can sit and flip through books while they visit with new friends and old.

Unitots!
Unitots is a place where parents and young children can gather in a spiritual community to play and connect. Unitots is for infants, toddlers, and children through pre-school age. Unitots meets every Friday from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.  Once each month, adult meet for structured conversation or activity. Child care is provided.  For more information, contact Christy Randall, Coordinator of Young Children's MInistries by email at christy@unityunitarian.org.

Join the Unity Children’s Choir
All children in grades 1-5 are warmly invited to join in the fun of making music with the Unity Children’s Choir. The choir meets from 10:15-11:00 a.m. each Sunday in the Foote Room at Unity Church.
Children’s choir rehearsal activities are focused on hands-on music making for all of the children. In addition to singing the children experience music through movement, games, playing instruments and learning about the elements of music. The Children’s Choir sings at Unity Church services approximately one Sunday each month. Additional special Children’s Choir traditions include a spring community outreach nursing home concert, performing at the Unity holiday concert, an intergenerational singing experience and many opportunities for the singers to have fun socializing together. For more information, contact Kathleen Radspinner, Unity Children’s Choir Director, kathleenr395@gmail.com

Camp Fire Unity
Camp Fire Unity seeks to build a strong community of families through community service and nature. Camp Fire Unity meets 1-2 times per month, either on Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. or Saturday. The location of meetings will vary depending upon the activity. Camp Fire Unity registration is held in September. There aren't any dues to participate in Camp Fire but families will need to contribute to the cost of events as they come up. Interested in joining Camp Fire Unity? Contact Bridget Borell bridgetborell@yahoo.com or Elizabeth Wrobel at wrobelsmith@hotmail.com

Wellspring Wednesdays 

Wellspring Wednesdays provide an opportunity for Unity friends and family to share a meal and good conversation together. Following Wellspring Wednesday intergenerational chapel service, children play board games and make crafts together, forming church friendships that can last through the years.

Children's Musical: Grades 5 and 6
Youth in grades 5 and 6 are invited to audition for the annual children's musical. For the past 20+ years, Unity Church has produced a children's musical with an original script and original music. If you would like to participate in the musical please contact Cathy Crosby-Schmidt at crosbyschmidt@yahoo.com.

Unity Tweens Social Justice
The Unity Tweens have been active this fall supporing GLBTQ youth during Ally Week, preparing signage for the UUSC Guest at Your Table laun ch, and putting hygiene supplies and warm clothes together for people leaving prison. There are no regularly scheduled meetings in December but the older youth are encouraged to help with Santa Pause!
The Unity Tweens Social Justice group is designed to connect youth with the social justice teams led by adults in the congregation. A typical evening involves a short conversation about the mission of a particular social justice group followed by an activity to further the mission.
For more information, email mcdeborah@msn.com.
