| New Uniteen Curriculum |
In August of 2007 a creation workshop for Uniteen curriculum resulted in exciting content for a series of three books of lessons to be published in 2008.
These 7-lesson books are on: understanding Unity's basic principles; dealing with changes in life; and making a difference in your church, community, and the world.
The series Bring on the Basics! was field tested by 15 Unity youth ministry programs in January and is expected to be on the shelves in April. A special update newsletter will be sent as soon as this new curriculum is available.
While the website is under construction, the above link will take you to currently available curriculum for uniteens. |

| Notes from Eileen |
|
Happy Spring! I love this season of rebirth and renewal! While it is still a little chilly in the Great Lakes area, I just saw my first Crocus popping it's little purple head through the snow. What a wonderful sign of life and good things to come. I love the crocus and its persistence. Even when the snow and frost continue to surprise us, the tiny little crocus knows the warm weather is near and that everything it needs to survive and accomplish it's purpose is at hand.
We too can choose to "See the Good" and know that everything we need to accomplish our goals and follow our divine plan is at hand, closer than hands & feet.
Thank you to the Crocus for reminding us of our divine source!
In Peace & Light,
