Practicing Unity Today
Unity World Day of Prayer
Our students have created posters for topics of concern in their future. These include climate change, animals, trees, the ocean, plants, and peace. These posters will be displayed in the sanctuary before and during our world day of prayer. The students are praying for these concerns with our congregation.
Thriving in our New Classroom
Our God thoughts and deeds are growing at Unity of Palm Harbor. We started by cleaning and planting our garden. Then we decorated it, watered it, and sent it love. The students are ushering, greeting, and reading the Daily Word. They are enjoying their summer retreat. We are sending love energy bubbles into the universe and our garden is thriving with the many hands contributing to its creation.
Youth Curriculum
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.”
