From the Minister
Dear Friends,
Today I am thinking about the phrase “transfer of power.” Specifically, I am reflecting upon the deeper meaning behind the call for a “peaceful transfer of power.”
Although we’ve heard it said many times this week in reference to what’s best for our nation’s democracy, I am reminded once again that you cannot give what you do not have.
And so, what power within yourself are you willing to transfer? In other words, what thoughts and feelings are you willing to transform peacefully?
You see, the point of power is always in the present moment. And in the present moment, you can choose to see things working out for the best. Don’t get me wrong—this is not a Pollyanna statement—we have a lot of work to do!
But first things first.
The Gospel According to Jimi Hendrix tells us… “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Prayerfully, I believe our country is heading in a better direction. Will there be more plot twists and turns? Yes. Nevertheless we individually have the power to heal our own lives. Therefore, we have the peaceful power within us to transfer this healing to our country.
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

Unity in a Nutshell #3:
“Just A Thought”
Sunday, January 24, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Unity Principle #3: Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
There is a reason this principle is called “The Granddaddy of All Laws!” Known also as The Law of Mind Action, this tenant teaches us that the thoughts we hold in mind produce after their kind. Another way of expressing this is… what we choose to focus on expands in our lives.
Fortunately, these are only thoughts. As Louise Hay said, “and a thought can be changed.” Join Rev. Anne for part three of her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2021,” and find out how you can practice putting this powerful spiritual principle to work in your life.

Unity in a Nutshell #4:
“Prayer On Demand”
Sunday, January 31, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Unity Principle #4: Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.
In Unity, we practice affirmative prayer. This is the same method Jesus taught when he said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24). Prayer is available to us anywhere, anytime, in the midst of any circumstance. Join Rev. Anne as she continues her back-to-basics series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2021,” and we explore how you can remake your life with a deeper understanding of just this one spiritual principle about how prayer works.

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
Principle #2:
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.
Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Principle #5:
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 inter-connectedness 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.
