White Stone Ceremony
Sunday, January 8, 2023
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
Join Rev. Anne as she leads us in our annual Unity ritual of the White Stone Ceremony. This is your opportunity to listen to the still small voice of Spirit within to discern your unique guidance for the New Year and beyond. This is a time to discover a new spiritual name for yourself and the qualities you wish to develop. It is a deeply moving and empowering service to help move you forward into a spiritually energized and joyful 2023!
“Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.” (Revelation 2:17)

"Permission Slip Sunday"
Sunday, January 13, 2023
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
It’s the beginning of a brand new year. You’ve released some of your old patterns. You’ve set wonderful intentions for 2023. You might be asking yourself, “Okay, now what?”
Join Rev. Anne to explore a powerful practice you can immediately start doing to calm your Inner Gatekeeper. Do you know what your Inner Gatekeeper is? Your Inner Gatekeeper is that “thing” that’s trying to keep you doing what you’ve always done… even though you know it’s no longer serving you! Adding this practice to your spiritual toolkit might possibly be the greatest gift you give yourself all year!

Trusting Your Spiritual Gifts
in the New Year
You have the power to release what no longer serves—and the freedom to create what you desire.
By Rev. Teresa Burton
"It wasn’t until I discovered Unity and began taking part in the powerful Burning Bowl and White Stone ceremonies that I realized how transformative releasing and holding intention can be."

You can order free COVID tests again by mail
(December 15, 2022 5:00 AM ET, npr.org)
Americans can order four more free COVID-19 tests through the mail. It's part of the Biden administration's plan to deal with an increase in COVID cases sparked by indoor holiday gatherings.
The tests can be ordered on
COVIDtests.gov and started to ship this week, so don't delay ordering yours! The government is urging people to test themselves when they have symptoms, and before visiting with family.

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
Principle #2:
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Principle #5:
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.
A person must live the truth he or she knows.
|
|
CORE VALUES
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in all
we do.
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole human family.
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity, we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
