The Revival of Uni-teens!
I've started a Uni-teens Bible Study group, and we had our first pizza meeting tonight. What a wonderful group of young people we have. There were so many surprises and questions. From "Do you mean Jesus wasn't Christian?" to "Did Jesus know he was the son of God?" Wow!
I am so enthusiastic about our kids. They are AMAZING!
And you are a Blessing!

Here is my vision for this amazing group:
Uni-teen's Bible Study
Teens 12 - 18 (Jr and Sr HS students) are welcome to join Sky for an on going study of how Unity looks at the Bible and at the life and teachings of Jesus. This is a class in biblical literacy.
Classes usually meet twice a month through the year. Teens are encouraged to bring a bible and a journal for notes and thoughts.
Teens in this class are also encouraged to participate in a Unity confirmation / bar mitzvah / coming of age ceremony. This can happen near any birthday between the 13th and 16th years, or later, at the parents and teen's choosing. The ceremony happens during our during our regular Sunday service time, and includes prayers, songs, hymns, scriptures, and a lesson written and designed be the teen and the pastor working together. The service is followed by a celebration reception in the open stage area. Gifts and affirmations for the teen coming of age are encouraged.
