Unity of Gaithersburg will once again host our Summer Peace Camp. Our camp is full of lessons of love, tolerance, and understanding. Our children do Yoga, enjoy a daily meditation trip to their Garden, learn about some of the many paths to God, and have a lot of fun. If you have any questions about Peace Camp or would like to register your child(ren) contact Jeannie at jeannie_616@msn.com.

OUR CHILDREN NEED YOU

During the summer our wonderful teachers have some down time and we need some folks who can spend a Sunday with our kids. We are looking for those who can spend one Sunday with our 1st thru 5th graders. It is for an hour and you can share something of interest to you, i.e. a craft, an outside game, a movie, etc. This gives the children an opportunity to interact with others in our Unity family.

There will be a Y.O.U. and Uniteen combined class for the summer.

We will also need some new teachers in the Fall. Training is provided. Please email Jeannie with your interest in serving in either of these opportunities at jeannie_616@msn.com

Jeannie
, Director, Youth Education

The children go directly to Sunday School. They come

to the sanctuary at the end of services for their blessing.

Mission

Unity of Gaithersburg is dedicated to providing a safe,

loving environment where all children/teens may unfold their

divine potential. We are also committed to providing

the children/teens exposure to (and practical skills using)

Unity principles through Unity based curriculum and

interaction with adults studying/living the Unity principles.

Classes

The nursery is available on Sunday mornings for infants and toddlers approximately 0 to 3 years old. The purpose of the nursery is to provide a safe and loving place for babies to be introduced to the church building and their church family.

Unitots Unitots are our children that are ready for some learning time, ages 3 to 6. Being very sensitive to their short attention span, the teachers have a brief lesson taken from the What A Wonderful World curriculum designed by Unity for this age group. There are also songs, games, and crafts offered that coincide with the lesson.

This classroom is for children in First through Second Grades. Children in this class should be able to read, follow directions, and participate in craft, drama, and light physical activities and games. The curriculum materials introduce simple Bible lessons, the Five Unity Principles worded for understanding by this age, prayer and meditation, as well as supporting individual creativity and recognition of the Divine Within.

Unikids This classroom is for children in 3rd through 5th grades. Children in this class will be introduced to simple Bible lessons, the Five Unity Principles, the meaning and practice of prayer and meditation, as well as supporting individual creativity and recognition of the Divine Within.

Uniteens are 6th, 7th and 8th grade students learning to accept personal responsibility for making right choices in life and becoming more aware of their spiritual nature. In Uniteens, we learn what the principles and laws of the universe are - we see how to apply these magnificent guidelines to our lives - it is personal and powerful and safe and definitely not boring!

YOU Youth of Unity (YOU) is a spiritual group for High School aged teens (14-18) who come together every week to discover who they are as spiritual beings. Walk into a place where negative judgment, criticism and peer pressure are left outside - where teens are free to express who they are and who they want to be. Our experience includes a weekly service with many of the spiritual lessons given by the teens. YOUs are adult guided, youth directed. If you are a teen at heart, this is the place for you!
