Unity in a Nutshell #4:
"An Unshakable Foundation"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
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.
Ever pondered the age-old questions of, “What is prayer, really?” and “Why bother praying at all?” In Unity’s fourth spiritual principle, we practice a particular kind of prayer—affirmative prayer. This is what puts our beliefs to the test!
It is 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 2024” and she unpacks this essential practice and shows you how it’s the secret sauce to transform your life! This one is a game-changer.

Unity in a Nutshell #5:
"Good Trouble"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Unity Principle #5: Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or she knows.
In the immortal words of John Lewis, who was a beacon of courage and wisdom… "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
His words resonate deeply because they remind us that we are each equipped with a unique set of gifts and talents, ready to be used to create greater good in the world.
Join Rev. Anne as she wraps up her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2024.” It’s not just about understanding these spiritual principles; it’s about putting them into action. After all, what’s life without a little good trouble, right?

How We Help
Since May 2020, we have provided over 4,657 survivors in domestic violence shelters with I See You boxes. These contain items that promote self-care and social-emotional wellness.
We partner with domestic violence organizations to provide wrap-around support for survivors. Self-care and emotional well-being are essential in recovery and help to break free from a life of abuse.
We are a volunteer organization. Many volunteers are survivors of domestic violence and want to help others find their way.

Spiritual counseling can help if there is a need for inspiration, crisis support, or healing in any area of your life.
