Greetings YFM Parents, Teachers, and Volunteers!


Please join us on Sunday, March 30th, for our Multi-Gen service, Use the Force! We will explore Unity principles, the Law of Mind Action, and the Jedi Code as some of our own Jedi Masters and younglings take us on a metaphysical journey through the galaxy.  


MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! 


YFM Volunteers - We Need YOU!


Some of the available ways to serve our YFM are:

~ Leading/Assisting with our Sunday Classrooms

~ Event Planning Committee

~ Decorating Committee

~ Snacks Ambassadors



URV Adopted a School!  

The URV Board of Directors has decided to answer the call for a school with several critical outreach needs. We have adopted James Madison Middle School. Our winter coat drive continues into January and we're collecting nonperishable food items (drop them off in the boxes in the Fellowship Hall at URV). Click here for the current list.

As always, I am abundantly grateful for all your help! Thank you for being a part of this beautiful community!  


In love and blessings,

Team Leaders and Partners for Special Events


Holiday Parties Volunteers serve as team leaders and partners. They plan, set up, and facilitate various parties for our youth during the year. Party plans and decorations are provided.


Christmas Pageant Each year, our YFM youth present a Sunday Christmas pageant! Volunteers serve as team leaders and partners. We typically hold two rehearsals leading up to the pageant. Simple scripts, costumes, and props are provided.


Physical Space and Supplies


Supply Coordinator Each Sunday, our teachers receive a box of supplies needed for the activities in the lesson. Volunteers gather the supplies for each Sunday and put them away when class is finished.
