Activities for CHILDREN
Sunday Classes
Every Sunday, 9 and 11 a.m.
Our Sunday morning Children's Ministry classes provide a sacred space for children to explore and experience God in a safe and creative environment. Children start by choosing to work in one of our creative centers while interacting with Unity peers. During the hour, we also create a Sacred Circle where children come together in community and enjoy a holy, respectful, age-appropriate ministry lesson.
Currently, we are in the midst of an eight-week class session studying “the spirituality of the Wizard of Oz.” We are leading the children down a yellow brick journey that leads to the discovery that “the Wiz-dom” (divine wisdom) can be found within themselves!

This year the kids will be performing Goldilocks on Trial, a
short comedy by Ed Monk in which Goldilocks goes on trial
for breaking and entering. Whether or not she’s found guity is
up to Judge Wallabee and some very silly jurors to decide after
hearing testimony from a variety of characters. The fee for
