"UNITY OF THE PALM BEACHES … THIS IS YOUR LIFE (SOURCE)!" On January 27th our Sunday service was transformed by our youth into a series game shows and commercials that brought learning and laughs to all. We explored the history of the Unity movement and Unity of the Palm Beaches and our congregation loved it!

 Our Youth Programs Have LEGS! 
(Learning, Evolving, Growing Spirits)

TRISH YANCEY
Director of Youth & Family Services
    Unity of the Palm Beaches’ thriving youth programs take place during Sunday service in rooms 8 and 9, located upstairs next to the Book Store and Prayer Chapel.  The nursery is for infants through children age three, and older children experience age-appropriate curriculum in their own groups.  Our Uniteen program for ages ten through thirteen goes further into topics with older students, and teens aged fourteen through eighteen will join our Youth Of Unity (YOU) group for more in-depth spiritual growth.
   We offer the younger members of our community more than just a supportive, welcoming place to experience acceptance and spiritual education.  Our loving staff provides a safe, positive, encouraging and fun atmosphere where students can begin or further their individual faith journeys.  Role-modeling helps us reinforce expected behaviors, and activities make the journey of spiritual discovery and growth an enjoyable one!  The unique environment we create encourages everyone to feel comfortable asking questions and discussing important issues faced by all of us as we grow.

‘Practical Christianity’ is learned through studying the Bible and other Unity-themed materials, as well as participation in group activities and projects guided by the five basic tenants that Unity is built upon:

God is all good, and active in everything, everywhere.

I am naturally good because God’s Divinity is in me and in everyone.

I create my experiences by what I choose to think, feel and believe.

Through affirmative prayer and meditation, I connect with God and bring out the good in my life.

I do and give my best by living the Truth I know.  I make a difference!

All of our students enjoy fellowship and creativity on the fourth Sunday of every month as they ‘pop up in spirit’ with Roger Culberston, a Guinness Book of World Records holder for the world’s largest pop up book.”  Our Uniteens and Y.O.U. (Youth of Unity) also gain service experience by acting as ushers and assisting with Fellowship on the fifth Sunday of any month.
