In 2011, children in Middle School and up (ages 11 - 15) may participate in the Unity Hill Youth Group.  We have a very active group of young people who enjoy working and playing together.  We will meet every other Sunday from 6 - 8:30 pm beginning in September.

 

 

The youth group ran a successful Wreath Sale, which raised over $150.  We want to thank all those who participated - from the purchasing, to the decorating, to the tending the sale table.  We'd also like to thank all those who purchased a wreath - we hope you enjoyed them! 

 

On December 12, the youth group held “Cookies in a Jar” gift making activity.

*  Keith Satterlee led the group from Silver Sands to Charles Island on 7/31/11.  He shared some history of the island and surprised us with special guests, Clay and Lori, who told great stories.  The kids took some garbage off the island and threw it away, leaving the area cleaner than they found it.   We also collected sea glass on our  adventure, and ended with a visit to the ice cream truck. 

 

 

*  Do you have a special hobby, interest or talent you could share with the youth group?  Anything you could bring to our group would be appreciated.  We would like the congregation to actively participate with the youth.  We are also very interested in providing community   service.  If there is any need that our group could lend a hand in helping, please let us know.  The three co-leaders are Patty Bowman, Chris Beaudry, and Keith Satterlee. 

  

*  We will be meeting every other Sunday night 6-8:30pm beginning in September. 

 

In June, 2010 we worked on a community service project. 

We weeded and planted for a shut-in in Trumbull.  The recipient was very appreciative of all the hard work the group dedicated to her yard.  The plants are still in bloom and look beautiful.

The flamingo's were on vacation during the summer of 2010.  It was a really fun fundraiser that raised quite a bit of money.

In July, 2010 we went to Brownstone, which is an adventure park in Portland, CT.  The entire youth group was able to attend the day trip.  The kids jumped off a cliff into the quarry, some zip lined across the water, and others went down the slides.  We rented a gazebo with a picnic table, which floated in the water.  It was an amazing new adventure for all.
