Braving the Wilderness:
Practice #3
"Hold Hands. With Strangers."
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hold Hands. With Strangers.... Regardless of our differences, the key to true belonging is a deeper understanding of our inextricable human connection, that connection of spirit that flows between us and every other human being in the world. And yet, navigating the demands of our everyday lives can be really challenging! In her book, Braving the Wilderness, Brené Brown writes, "My favorite Peanuts cartoon is Linus crying 'I love mankind ... it's people I can't stand!'" Join Rev. Anne for the 3rd in her four-part series as we explore simple practices we can do to remind us that we are all connected with each other.

Mother's Day
Braving the Wilderness:
Practice #4
"Hard Back. Soft Front.
Wild Heart."
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hard Back. Soft Front. Wild Heart. ...
Join us for Mother's Day as Rev. Anne concludes her four-part message series based on Brené Brown's book, Braving the Wilderness. Of all the calls to courage Brené has asked of her readers over the years, practicing true belonging may be the most challenging--and the most rewarding! Why? Because often it seems easier to "armor up" instead of cultivating authentic moments of trust. An armored front might sound good when we're trying to make our way through times of uncertainty, but braving the wilderness requires a hard back, a soft front, and a wild heart. And who knows more about that than mothers?

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within. Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must live the truth he or she knows.
|
|
CORE VALUES
As expressions of Spirit, we embrace and reflect the Divine in all. Love is the nature of who we are.
We live from a conscious connection with Spirit. We affirm there is only one presence and one power, and we are expressions of it.
We lovingly embrace all people. We are One Loving Spirit.
We actively meet the needs of our community. We are expressions of Christ Consciousness.
INTEGRITY:
We consciously choose to practice transparency and authenticity in living our Core Values and Unity Principles. Spiritual integrity is seeking true alignment with our highest intentions, core values, and principles.
