Featured ProgramYouth EducationOur Elementary Children Need Your Support Of course, God is everywhere…including our nursery! When you welcome a child of God, you welcome God-and awaken the Christ within you. We need some caring individuals or couples to volunteer their time in our Nursery. We can be flexible with your schedule to make this work for you. Ideally, we’d appreciate a once a month commitment for a 6 month period. However, we are always appreciative of substitutes that could help on a more casual basis. Please contact our YE Director, Alysa Choquette at youth@unityomaha.org.
Spiritual Social Action is Reaching Out to YOU! The Aim of the Spiritual Social Action Program is: “To engage the congregation in connecting with members of the community through events and projects to assist those in need, and to offer opportunities for spiritual growth.” We are here to reach out to others. Donating to one of our projects, volunteering at one of our events, joining our team to be part of the planning are all ways to be included. You’re welcome to attend the Reach Out meetings. See Head’s Up for current times and events. The Unity Spiritual Social Action Program selects special service projects open to the entire congregation throughout the year. Other projects are active on an ongoing basis. We attempt to balance efforts between local, national and international areas, age specific areas, gender areas, traditional projects and exploring new avenues. We try to support organizations with a structure in place to preclude starting from scratch and to better utilize our resources. Pantry Donations Nonperishable food, paper products, cleaning supplies and personal care items are collected in the wire baskets in the café for the use of clients at Holy Family Church Door Ministry and the Siena/Francis House Homeless Shelter. Your donations are always appreciated. Monthly Prayer Service Pottowattamie Jail Ministry Classes teaching women positive ideas for living a healthy, happy, fulfilled life are provided weekly on Saturdays from 1-3 pm. Contact Rae Williams Loving Actions Loving Actions is a “gentle” reminder for adults to reach out to their family and/or community...an action that can be practiced all month and implemented forever. For the latest, read the Head’s Up and the signs posted in the café. See Sharon Schwab in the bookstore to share your ideas. Periodic projects These usually take place on a quarterly basis, often times coinciding with the holidays. Examples of past endeavors follow. Everybody is encouraged to participate whether you’re a team member or not Unity’s collections of money, food, clothing, toys, blankets, school supplies, stuffed animals and personal care items have benefited numerous agencies with whom we coordinate. We’ve supported NE Aids Project, Salvation Army, Siena/Francis House Homeless Shelter, Holy Family Church Door Ministry, Sorenson Residential and Assisted Living Facility, Douglas County Health Center, Mission for All Nations, Samaritan’s Purse, Mystic Fest, Mozambique orphans and St. Joseph nursing home. Gail Gossman or Sandi Jenkins are good ones to call with questions since they’ve worked on many of these events. Volunteer ClassifiedsThe following Teams have volunteer positions available.
