YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRY DEPARTMENT
Where love, friendship and fun abound

Youth & Family Ministry

By Karla Lightner - Youth & Family Ministry Director

Hello Everyone,

This month marks my fourth anniversary as Youth & Family Ministry Director here at CCU, and I must admit that it has been one of the most fun and exciting years yet.  Our children and teens are some of the most amazing and talented people I have ever had the privilege to work with.  Watching them grow both physically and spiritually each year brings tears of pride to my eyes.  I am so grateful not only to be assisting them in their spiritual training, but am also grateful for the spiritual insights and lessons they teach me as well.

January begins for adults with White Stone Sunday.  As has become our tradition, children will have a White Stone Sunday of their own.  We will learn about new beginnings, using affirmations and visioning to set our own spiritual goals.  It is never too early to learn and each group, from Unitots to Y.O.U., will participate each at their own level.

If you feel you have gifts, talents, or anything interesting you would like to share, even just once with our children, please call me at 619-218-6135, or you can email me at karla@unitysandiego.org

Love & Blessings!
Karla

Our Mission:
To create safe, loving, and fun environments where children and teens can explore their relationship with God; where each individual journey to self-awareness/God awareness is honored.

Our Vision:
Our vision is that each child know and experience that they are loved and supported by a community of faith that holds them precious, unique and irreplaceable; that each child become aware of God within them, and know that with God’s help they have the power to create an amazing life.

    SHINING UNITY CLUB

     SPREADING UNITY AROUND THE WORLD

The Shining Unity Club was a dream of Christ Church Unity’s Matthew Lightner when he was 9 years old.  There are now Shining Unity Clubs in Unity churches throughout the United States.

The goal of the Shining Unity Club is to spread Unity to kids across the United States.

The kids in the Shining Unity Club want to help each other to love God, and have a healthy, positive attitude.  It isn’t easy being a kid these days and sometimes we have problems we need to discuss together. Every kid needs friends.  We don’t want to join gangs or do drugs or get in trouble, so logically the best thing would be to have a Unity club that loves God.  Of course; adult members of Unity can come to our meetings, too.

Thank You and Blessings,
Matthew Cesar Lightner
