Thanksgiving Turkey with Feathers of Gratitude
On Sunday, November 24 our amazing youth came in with paper, glue, poster board and markers, and invited the adult members of the congregation to join them in writing what they were grateful for on paper feathers. The kids helped each adult glue them on this poster to create this beautiful Thanksgiving Turkey full of gratitude, joy and love.
Nursery
Children ages 0 – 3 1/2 years are cared for during the 11:00 a.m. service.
Elementary Age Classroom
Children engage in arts and crafts while learning Unity principles during the 11:00 a.m. service. They also participate in service activities such as the Kid's Corner in the Unity garden area.
Uniteens and the Y.O.U.
Uniteens are Middle Schoolers and the Y.O.U. (Youth Of Unity) are High Schoolers who meet during the 11:00 a.m. service. Y.O.U is the culmination of Unity youth spiritual education.
Every year Unity Eastern Region sponsors two Retreat Weekends for Uniteens and three Rallies for the Y.O.U. During these events the young people from up and down the East Coast come together to experience Unity teachings and making connections.
Teens often describe these events as a high point in their life.
Special Events
Unity of Fairfax offers Family Friendly Events throughout the year. Gingerbread House Decorating, visits with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, Easter Egg Hunts, Youth Variety Show, visits from animal rescue groups, and EarthCare activities are examples.
