Led by Rev. Kristin Powell – and sometimes a guest speaker – you will experience a long, rich silence during guided meditation cushioned by music, plus the inspiration of a message both timely and timeless.
While this service is more contemplative, the 11:30 one is preceded by greetings and socialization, followed by upbeat, uplifting music, a short meditation, an inspiring talk, and a closing that includes a blessing of the children.
After both services, you are invited to mingle with others on the patio and check out the book store.

- Children & Youth Sunday GatheringUnity of Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek, CA
Give your children a chance to have a spiritual experience with other young people while you attend Sunday service in the Sanctuary.
Children meet in the Community Room and often move to activities on the lawn for activities guided by Michelle Cicala, Youth Education Director. The young people usually participate in their own version of the Sunday service theme, but sometimes focus on something else.
As the Sanctuary service ends, the children enter and report on their discussions or show off their artwork projects. They are then blessed by the congregation and join in for the closing song.
