"The Truth Will Set You Free"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
"The Truth Will Set You Free" ... As we prepare to celebrate our nation's independence on the Fourth of July, let us ask ourselves: What is the foundation upon which we cultivate our personal freedom? Scripture tells us, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Of course, it has also been written, "The truth will set you free, but first it'll ruffle your feathers!" Join Rev. Anne as we explore together the markings of universal Truth and how you can practice living a life of liberty and happiness.

"It's a 'Come As You Are' Party"
It's a "Come As You Are" Party ... If you've ever attended a "Come As You Are" party; you know that there are no real fashion faux pas or mistakes. Spiritually speaking, it is very similar in Unity. We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. And so you don't need to fret about trying to put a phony polish on your soul to walk through our doors. You are invited to come as you are, right where you are on your spiritual path. Join Rev. Anne for the 1st in her new four-part Summer Soul Series, Let the Sunshine In!, as we explore the spiritual principles that will help you bring more Love and Light into your life.

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
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in
all we do.
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole human family.
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity, we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our interconnectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
