Week 6: “The Law of Detachment”
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Week 6: In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty … in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, and our willingness to step into the unknown.
Consider this scenario:
"They say detachment is the key to inner peace. Well, I detached myself from my keys, and now I can't find inner peace OR my car!"
Have you ever felt like this?
Sometimes we misunderstand what the law of detachment is and the spiritual practice of how it really works. Join Rev. Anne as she continues her seven-part Sunday Message Series and we learn why Deepak Chopra teaches in his book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, that action without attachment to the outcome is THE recipe for success—and—it’s also the secret to creating a life without stress. Who doesn’t want that!

Week 7: “The Law of Purpose in Life”
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Week 7: Everyone has a purpose in life … a unique gift or special talent to give to others.
Are you familiar with the meaning of “dharma”? In Eastern philosophies, it’s a Sanskrit word that means purpose of life. And you have a unique and unrepeatable way of expressing it!
Join Rev. Anne as she concludes her seven-part Sunday Message Series
based on Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and learn how asking yourself two questions can help you determine your inherent purpose and calling in life… which is the goal of all goals!

How to Support the
LGBTQIA+ Community
by Sara Crawford
Those of us who are not part of the LGBTQIA+ community may wonder how we can be better allies. I reached out to LGBTQIA+ ministers and congregants in various Unity churches, as well as some friends, artists, and activists outside of Unity, to ask them, “How can I better support the community?”
As you might expect, their responses varied, but I heard some recurring themes. Here are four things I learned about how to offer support to the LGBTQIA+ community.
