There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings. - Hodding Carter
 

Unity Spiritual Center offers Sunday School classes for four different age groups:

UniTots: ages 0 - 4, Infant through preschool
UniKids: ages 5 - 10, Elementary school
UniTeens: ages 11 - 13, Middle School
Y.O.U (Youth of Unity): ages 14 - 18, High School

• All classes emphasize Unity principles and use age-appropriate curriculum and varied activities.

• Especially rewarding is our tradition at USC that during any month that has five Sundays, generally the fifth Sunday (but not always) is designated as Youth Sunday. The entire Sunday service is planned and executed by the youth department with our youth providing the music, lesson, platform, meditation and ushering. This practice has become a cherished tradition at USC.

• USC also recognizes milestones in the lives of our youth such as entering kindergarten, middle school, or high school, as well as high school graduation itself. This special ceremony allows the congregation to recognize and bless our youth and gives the youth the opportunity to select a mentor from the group. 

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters
of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you
But not from you,
And though they are with you,
Yet they do not belong to you.

You may give them your love,
But not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies
But not their souls,
For their souls dwell
In the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit,
Not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them,
But seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward
Nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which
Your children as living arrows are sent forth.
