"Real Transformation"
11am, Rev. Dr. David Ault
To say we have been transformed isn't always accurate. Real transformation never reclaims old patterns. It is a rebirth into a new existence. Come explore what is required of us to experience such a gift.
For over 30 years David Ault has been a prophetic voice in the human potential movement as an unwavering crusader for mindfulness, global literacy and social justice. As a teacher, evolutionary coach and keynote presenter, David bridges our collective forgetfulness into our great collective reawakening. As an award winning author, leadership coach, and global education advocate, he loves leading through example and abides by the motto that people would rather "see a lesson than hear one."
Besides serving as the leader of the Spiritual Council at Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta, David is the founder of Kaleidoscope Child Foundation, whose mission is to advance vulnerable children and communities worldwide with sustainable education, life skills and fresh water. Beginning more than 14 years ago, Kaleidoscope now operates schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Bodhgaya and Lakhanpur, India and partners with literacy programs throughout Guatemala serving more than 800 children annually.
As a respected teacher, writer and columnist, David is the author of the bestseller,
Where Regret Cannot Find Me and the multi-award winning,
The Grass Is Greener Right Here.

Join Rev. Anne for the first in her four-part Sunday Fall Series based on, The Art of Abundance: Ten Rules for a Prosperous Life
, by Dennis Merritt Jones. The world doesn't need yet another prosperity book outlining the latest techniques in how to get more "things." What the world needs is a new perspective on what gives meaning and value to life--and what it means to enjoy a life worth living. After all, there is a difference between abundance and prosperity. Dennis Merritt Jones believes the secret to life is knowing which one comes first because the truth is, there is more than enough good to go around! Come discover a new way to look at abundance!

Ten Rules for a Prosperous Life
Tuesdays:
November 6th, 13th,
20th, & 27th - GLC
7pm - 9pm
Rev. Anne will lead this four-week book study to go along with her four-part Sunday talk series based on Dennis Merritt Jones' new book,
The Art of Abundance.
We all essentially want the same things: freedom, inner peace, and a life filled with purpose and meaning. This is true whether we're striving for better health, financial abundance, a stronger relationship, or a new job. Dennis Merritt
Jones explains that a life of wholeness and direction are well within our reach.
In The Art of Abundance, Jones offers a road map to draw us away from our comfort zones to truly see new perspectives of prosperity. His theme of constant encouragement inspires a greater flow of natural goodness in all areas our lives and motivates us to live our best lives yet.
Jones teaches that moving from a life of "not enough" to "more than enough" isn't as challenging as you may think! Our book study will explore and practice these ten rules and help you discover a "Whole" new life!
Suggested Love Offering: $15/class.

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 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.
