Meeting together as we get ready for our new building.

 
We are meeting as one classroom with lessons geared toward the younger students.  
Our lessons include prayer, meditation, teens’ daily word, games, crafts, open-ended sharing, object lessons, and self-discovery.  
 

 

World Day of Prayer

For our World Day of Prayer, the students colored hummingbirds, which was the theme.  Our hummingbirds are still in the sanctuary as a sign of our being still in the midst of action.  When we stay connected to our God Self, we tap into answers which are for the best of all.

 

Teens

Our teens attend regularly.  They do ushering and greeting and reading the daily word.  They help out on our garden days with community service to attend Rally.  Our next Rally is November 11-13, 2022.

 

Our Youth Coordinator

Ms. Brigitte Bernhardt

 

Ms. Brigitte Bernhardt has been coordinating the Youth Ministry program since June 1996. She has one son, Shaun. She became
interested in the spiritual education of her child and wanted to be an integral part of what he was learning. “I wanted our spiritual life to be a part of our daily life”.

During her many years as youth director, she has implemented many Unity curriculum including the five (5) principles, the twelve (12) powers, wisdom tales, Jesus’ teachings, the wonder years living curriculum, choices and consequences, fair play, navigating through change and the awakened classroom. We are including prayer, meditation, movement, games, creative expression, sharing and exploring questions. The goal is that we learn to connect with the God or Divine Presence of our understanding and that we are seen and heard as the spiritual beings we have come here to express.

Brigitte also worked at the Safety Harbor Montessori Academy in Clearwater for 20 years. She taught ages 3-6 for most of those years and grades 1-3 for a while. Brigitte earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Recreation Therapy. She has continuously expanded her educational knowledge through Montessori
conferences, Unity conferences, zoom training, and workshops addressing the development of children dealing with the stresses of our world today. Brigitte also loves yoga, hiking, camping, biking, and swimming. “ Being centered is the best way to relate and facilitate self-growth. Using yoga with children works.”
