The Gift of the Clouds July 25, 2021

It’s already Week 3 of our summer series based on Lessons of the Turtle, Living Right Side Up by Steve Goodier. Turtle continues to lie upside down, seeing things he’s never seen before. This week, Owl shares with him the Gift of the Clouds. Clouds are dreamy objects that float effortlessly above us, out of reach but so very pretty. Often, our dreams remain out of reach as well. In Unity, we learn that dreams become reality when we create a clear vision of what we want AND align our thoughts, feelings and actions with that vision. Affirmations can help us attain our goals by reminding us that GOOD is our divine inheritance.

Purpose- The Gift of the Tree July 18, 2021

In our summer series based on “Lessons of the Turtle, Living Right Side Up” by Steve Goodier, we come to the Gift of Honor taught by the tree. The tree honors itself by realizing its potential. The realization of the Divine Potential within us all is our ultimate goal. Along the way to this goal, we each have many outer purposes to fulfill. Join Rev. Jean Sunday at 10:30 to get a clue as to yours!I

CHOICES July 11, 2021

In the book by Steve Goodier, we will follow the turtle as we learn to live right side up. The first lesson we learn is that we each have a very powerful ally in life. It’s called choice.

Choice is embedded in the third Basic Principle in our Unity teachings. We may not be able to choose what happens to us in life, but we can always choose how

to respond.

Join Rev. Jean as she takes a whimsical stroll through this delightful book and shares a few ideas about positive, practical living right side up!

Discover a New Freedom July 4, 2021

The desire to be free lives within all of us. The physical, economic, and religious freedom we enjoy today is terrific, and yet, we might yearn for more. Perhaps you’ve felt a desire for an even greater kind of freedom. If so, that’s Spirit leading you on the path of spiritual awakening. As we awaken to our True Selves, we experience the freedom that comes with abiding in the Christ consciousness. Rev. Jean will share how to set out for a New World and discover a New Freedom this Sunday. Joining her will be our L.U.T., Dr. Patty Ball Thomas.

Unity as Community June 27, 2021

Unity as Community

Unity is more spiritual than religious. We focus on the transformation of ourselves from the inside out. It’s not about rules and regulations or doctrine and dogma. It’s primarily a personal journey designed to bring out the best that is within you, and secondarily, it offers ways of being in and with the world that can make life easier and more fulfilling. We come together as a community because we like to have company on our journey. Over the years, we’ve developed ways of being together that collectively are known as our “core values.” This Sunday, Rev. Jean will re-cap those values and invite you to make them more a part of your daily life.

Getting There Is Half the Fun June 20, 2021

Getting There Is Half the Fun

Before I leave home to travel by car to a new place, I open Google Maps. I type in the destination, then hit “Directions.” After plugging in my starting point, I sit back and wait to see how many ways there are to get to my final destination. I’ve discovered that it’s fun and interesting to choose a route that avoids the interstates as much as possible. Why? Because getting there is half the fun! The same is true for our spiritual journey. What’s even better is, unlike travel in this life, there is NO destination in the spiritual life! Join Rev. Jean this Sunday to explore the many paths we take on the road to enlightenment.

What if There is Nothing Else Here? (Special guest speaker and musician-John Stringer) June 13,2021

What If There is Nothing Else Here?

Liberation from suffering is a noble path to fulfillment and one that many choose in their journey to “spiritual enlightenment.” What if there was really nothing else here but God, as the concept of oneness represents? If that were the case, then suffering would be an illusion, yes? Join us as life teacher, healer, singer, and author, John Stringer, shares music & message to remind us of our oneness, perfection, and power.

The Filter Factor June 6, 2021

Everything that we perceive with our five senses needs to be filtered through our spiritual awareness. This will keep us from reacting to all sorts of nonsense. We do this by saying Yes and No appropriately to those things that feed our spiritual nature. Most of the time, we behave as if our human nature is separate from our spiritual nature. This parable tells us that our senses are here to lead us into the heaven of greater spiritual awareness, instead of dragging us into the hell of earthly confusion. 5 loaves = 5 senses. 2 fishes = the Divine Ideas of “yes and no”

Being Right with What’s Wrong May 30, 2021

Being Right with What’s Wrong

Things are supposed to go wrong in this life. Rather than get lost in the wonderful communal exercise of expressing our woes and wallowing in the negative, our aim as spiritually evolving creatures is to use what’s wrong to get right with higher consciousness. Remember, we are all sleepwalking through life. We’re sleepwalking because we believe that the form identity, the mind-made self, is WHO WE REALLY ARE. The more we can separate from our false identity, the more peace we can have and the better our lessons are when things go wrong.

To Mask or Not to Mask? Sunday May 23, 2021

To Mask Or Not to Mask

If you’ve been paying attention, the CDC has removed the mask mandate. We can now choose to go about without a mask! This sudden policy change has caused some consternation, which Rachel Maddow expressed so delightfully. She said that she’s going to have to re-wire her brain. She’s gotten so used to thinking of unmasked people as a threat that now she will have to train herself to not react with alarm. But guess what?

For us humans, wearing a mask is not optional. We’re all wearing a mask. Psychologically, wearing a mask is one of the laws of human behavior. Spiritually, becoming aware of this mask is the way to peace. It’s a matter of choosing to witness this developmental fixture rather than claim it as Who We Really Are. After a year of hiding, are you ready to come out from behind your mask?
