 "It Was Morning"
Sunday, May 17
, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Join Rev. Anne for the first in her three-part Sunday Message Series based on Jonathan Livingston Seagull, by New York Times bestselling author, Richard Bach. Originally published in 1970, this classic fable has continued to inspire millions for decades with its simple truth that the blueprint for us to follow is already written within. Through the unbreakable life of Jonathan, and his path to discovery, we glean the spiritual realization that there's a higher way of living than scuffing the tracks of others.

, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
In the second of our three-part Sunday Message Series based on the book,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Dear Friend,
With a gentle breath, I sweep out the clutter and still the chatter of my mind.
Whatever the season, the earth expresses divine life.
I claim the power of life beyond any appearance.
I see beauty in summer and in the winter.
I am one with the vibration of eternal life.
Pure life thrums through me, healing and renewing my body and mind.
The power of life heals all beings. It restores a heart of compassion in the world.
We invite you to take three minutes to turn within
You may also want to ...
Peace and blessings,
Rev. Joy Wyler
Senior Minister, Unity of Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania
Board Member, Unity World Headquarters |

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.
