Advent Week 1: HOPE
"Hope: An Anchor and A Gift"
11 am, Michael Brundy, Guest Speaker
Sanctuary & Livestream
Let’s talk about hope. Hope anchors us during the storms of life. Hope has sustained us for generations. Hope is a gift that guides us forward. Today we light the Advent candle of hope to honor that spirit that sustains us and carries us forward even in our darkest hours. Let’s talk about hope.
Hebrews 6:19
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

Spiritual Keys to Aging Well
Change the Way You Think About Aging
For many of us, the mystery and inevitability of aging can be difficult to accept. But when we learn to embrace each day with grace, positivity, and reflection, we realize the rich possibilities aging holds.
The new booklet from Unity, Spiritual Keys to Aging Well, will help you acknowledge the passing of time without buying into the idea that it is synonymous with decline. Unity ministers and New Thought writers—ranging in age from their 50s to 90s—share:
- What they’ve learned about growing older
- Suggestions for befriending your changing body and mind
- Ways to adapt your spiritual practices to serve you with each passing year
Available both in print and downloadable version.

Fostering Healing and Joy for Domestic Violence Survivors Through the Holiday Spirit
During the holiday season, gift-giving can be a luxury for those affected by domestic violence. Parents often sacrifice their needs to make the holiday special for their children. That’s why we created ‘Santa’s Shack’ in shelters, allowing children to choose gifts for their parents, who also deserve to feel cherished.
