Unity in a Nutshell #3:
"Mind Your Mind"
Rev. Anne Tabor
11am CT | Sanctuary & Livestream
Unity Principle #3: Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
There is a wonderful little poem that describes our third spiritual principle: “Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.”
Known as The Law of Mind Action, this tenant teaches us that the thoughts we hold in mind produce after their kind. Another way of expressing this is—what we choose to focus on expands in our lives—which is why you want to learn how to mind your mind!
Join Rev. Anne for part three of her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2023,” and find out how your creative power of thought weaves together the tapestry of your life.

Unity in a Nutshell #4:
"Heavily Meditated"
Rev. Anne Tabor
11am CT | Sanctuary & Livestream
Unity Principle #4: Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.
In our fourth spiritual principle, we will explore the power of affirmative prayer and what it means to pray from the awareness of our Oneness with God. When we practice affirmative prayer, we are using the same method Jesus taught when he said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).
Join Rev. Anne as she continues her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2023,” and we take a deeper look at how this one foundational practice can remake your life. Why? Because prayer works!
