Long before Spike Lee made a film about it, Rev.

Anne to explore the written and unwritten rules of taking right action according to Divine Law.

“The Masks We Wear”
Sunday, October 30, 2022
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
There are physical masks, like the ones we’ve worn during the pandemic or the ones we wear as part of a Halloween costume like Catwoman or Spider-Man. And there are also emotional masks we sometimes hide behind to camouflage who we really are. But we weren’t born with masks! We can choose to wear them—or not. Join Rev. Anne for an inspiring message about the masks we wear.

More Americans are Getting Their Booster Shots
(updated October 20, 2022, cnn.com)
With Halloween approaching, we are reminded that colder weather is coming. Officials have been pleased with the increase in the number of Covid booster shots administered over the last few weeks, but caution we can do more.
Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov) expected to be posted later today show that 4.5 million Americans received the bivalent booster, which targets both the original strain of the coronavirus as well as the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, over the past week. But there is still much more work to do.
For the complete statistics and information, follow the link below.

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.
