, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her three-part talk series based on Richard Bach's book,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
. In the end, we discover through Jonathan's life that regardless of feeling like an outcast at times, we
all
have the freedom to be our True Self... the way God made us to be. And we
all
have the freedom to choose love over bitterness as we share this knowledge with others. In other words, it's not enough to understand this Truth, we want to pay it forward.

 "God on Zoom"
Sunday, June 7
, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
"Come on and zoom, zoom, zooma-zoom!" This was the invitation sung by some very imaginative kiddos on a children's television show in the early 1970s. Little did they know how relevant it would be decades later! Join Rev. Anne as she reminds us that the lifeline of Zoom isn't just for family, friends, and Saturday Night Live (at Home) skits.

Beginning the first week of June, groups will meet as follows:
Monday: the One-ders
Tuesday: the Tuesday Knights (men only) (every other week)
Tuesday: the Rockers
Wednesday: Seeker Tweakers
The Tuesday Knights will use their meetings for a book study (

Dear Friend,
When we take account of all we have, we recognize the abundance we enjoy. Let us take a moment to acknowledge these blessings.
Take a deep breath and affirm with me the blessing of our gifts:
Divine love, through me, blesses and multiplies all that I give and all that I receive.
Take another deep breath and affirm:
I am enough.
I have enough.
My needs are met.
I give freely of my time, talents, and treasure.
I gratefully receive all the gifts Spirit has in store for me.
I am abundantly blessed, and I am a blessing.
We invite you to take three minutes to breathe.

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.
