About Nancy Little, PhD, LPC, LUT
Dr. Nancy Little has an enduring history with Unity since first walking through the doors of Unity of Dallas in 1992. She quickly realized she found her spiritual home, and both her young children were christened at Unity.
Nancy’s passion for the Unity message led her to become actively involved in numerous leadership roles, including Prayer Chaplain Coordinator, Board Member, and Platform Assistant. Most importantly, Nancy began to take SEE classes that propelled her journey to become a Licensed Unity Teacher. Ultimately, Nancy felt called to complete an eight-month internship at Unity Church of Hawaii and earned her LUT designation from Unity Worldwide Ministries in August 2012.
In 2014, Nancy’s newly formed traveling ministry, Unity Spirit of Aloha received formal approval from Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWM) to operate as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Nancy began scheduling Aloha Sunday service appearances at Unity and New Thought communities throughout the U.S. and Canada.
As a faculty member for the Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute (UWSI). Nancy developed the content for the UWSI Self-Care course in 2017 and taught the on-line class. Nancy published her second book, Energy Sparks to Recharge, Refresh & Revitalize in 2020, and her book was designated as the required text for her class. Additionally, Nancy served Unity nationally and regionally through her years of service on the Leadership Recruitment and Development team (LRDT) and the Unity South Central Region (USCR) Board of Trustees.
A Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 1983 in Texas, Nancy counseled thousands of clients in her part-time private practice and her counseling position at the University of North Texas (UNT). As a professional speaker, author, and on-line trainer, Nancy leads both virtual and in-person programs on mental health and wellness-related topics as a consultant.
Nancy earned the designation of professional member of the National Speakers Association (NSA) in 2016 and has made significant contributions through her varied leadership roles, both for the North Texas and the Kentucky chapters. She served as President of the NSA Kentucky chapter in 2022-23.

"To Tell the Truth"
Rev. Rebecca Rickey, Guest Speaker
11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Let’s explore what it means to know, embrace, and express our truth, the whole truth, and nothing but our truth. How do we recognize when we are being an “imposter” rather than speaking the Truth with a “capital T”.

Salome Raheim Advances Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work
by Annie L. Scholl
The civil rights and other movements “offered an alternative way of viewing the circumstances of those like me,” Raheim says. She began asking how people “resist the dominant narrative that says their own inferiority, bad morals, and lack of effort were the causes of their poverty rather than systems of inequity.”

The word of God is quick and powerful.... Through Christ in you, you can live life triumphantly and victoriously." Myrtle Fillmore told her, "You are a peacemaker."

We ask for everyone’s support while we make space for a robust program with a focus on Unity curriculum development and family engagement.

A Prayer for Children: Understanding Affirmation
by Rev. Dr. Araceli Marchan
“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” Those words have resonated with me ever since I saw the movie The Help back in 2011. Those were the words that little Mae Mobley’s nanny, Aibileen, poured into her in an attempt to speak encouragement, value, and worth into her life.
Words of affirmation like these are like little “power-ups” for our minds—positive statements we can say to ourselves to help us feel confident, happy, and ready to take on the world. It’s like we’re giving a peptalk to remind ourselves how strong, kind, or capable we are.
As children of God, we are all innately good. Affirmations help us to align with and express those good qualities of God—qualities like strength, wisdom, power, and love.
For children, understanding affirmations can be a fun and powerful way to build self-confidence, manage emotions, and develop a positive outlook.
