On your first visit, you may choose to worship together as a family. Children and youth are welcome in our Sanctuary.  Drop-in nursery care is available for little ones ages 6 months (and sitting up) to 3 years.  Be sure to visit our Welcome Table in the Parish Hall and pick up a “New Family Welcome Packet” with information about our Ministry with Children and Youth.

Some parents would like their children to experience Sunday School on their first visit.  This can be arranged at any of our three services.  We ask that a parent stay with each visiting child in their classroom for the duration of their first Sunday’s Religious Education sessions.  If you call or email prior to your first visit, the Director of Religious Education can prepare a welcome and visiting plan specific to your child(ren)’s ages.

Here are some helpful tips for your first Sunday at Unity Church with children:

• As soon as you arrive, please meet up with helpful staff and volunteers at the Welcome Table in the Parish Hall.  They’ll guide you to the right place for you and your children.
• Plan on staying in the classroom with your child during the entire Sunday School session.  Junior High youth may attend on their own, provided a parent meets them at the classroom door at the end of the class.
• Be sure to pick up a “New Family Welcome Packet” with information about our Ministry with Children and Youth.
• Watch for signs that indicate when we have a “Story Sunday” or “Family Sunday” on the day you visit.  On these Sundays, families worship together for part or all of the service.
• If you visit at 4:30 p.m., please stay and share in Soup Supper with us!  It’s a great way to meet other Unity parents and kids.
• Please know that we have a Safe Church policy in place, limiting enrollment in each class to safe ratios in relation to space and adult volunteers.   The class that you visit may already be full, but we can always find a spot for new registrants at one of our three services.
• If, after your visit, you feel that Unity may be your family’s religious home, please join us on the first Wednesday of the month for our “New Family Orientation”.  At this informative session, you’ll be able to register your child(ren) for the appropriate Sunday School program.   The next "New Family Orientation" will be held on Wednesday, September 7, at 7:10 p.m. in the Center Room.
