"Ask and It Will Be Given To You"
Sunday, March 15, 2020
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
In his book, Prosperity, Unity Co-Founder Charles Fillmore writes, "In the great Mind of God there is no thought of lack, and such a thought has no rightful place in your mind. It is our birthright to be prosperous, regardless of who you are or where you may be." These powerful words remind us that from a spiritual perspective asking is really more about choosing. And this is very good news! Join Rev. Anne for the first in her three-part Sunday Message Series, The Road to Prosperity, as we explore what it means to manifest your true heart's desires.

"Seek and You Will Find"
Sunday, March 22, 2020

Now it is time to seek by taking the vital steps to explore options to do the work Spirit inspires us to do! Join Rev. Anne as we focus on what it means to clear the way for the Good of God to express in your life!

Information for Our Beloved Community on
COVID-19
Dear Friends,
We are continuing to closely monitor information about the coronavirus (COVID-19). Unity Worldwide Ministries recently sent suggestions based on instructions from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We would like to thoughtfully and mindfully share this information with the intention of keeping us all healthy and happy!
With the increased publicity around the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control has recommended that everyone give intentional thought to being prepared.
Practice Prayer
The first and most important step is always prayer. We know that our consciousness makes a difference and one of the greatest gifts Unity offers is affirmative prayer.
We invite you to join in the following prayer or one of your own choosing.
We know that God is a Love that has no end and a Power that knows no bounds. God's healing power of Divine Life is restoring, healing, and revitalizing our world in this very moment. We let go of any fears or anxieties, and we affirm that all are safe, healthy, and protected. We bless all those who support us in maintaining vibrant radiant health. We express Divine Life in all we think, say, and do. We bless our global family with radiant health, peace of mind, and abundant love. And so it is. Amen.
Practice Basic Prevention Steps
We ask that:
- You wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- You protect coughs by coughing and sneezing into your elbow and/or a tissue.
- If you are not feeling well, please stay home.
- If you do attend church, we ask that you do not exchange hugs or handshakes. We've got lots of fun alternative greetings to practice!
We are:
- Cleaning and sanitizing hard surfaces.
- Making new antibacterial soap dispensers and hand sanitizers available around our campus, as well as disinfectant wipes.
We assure you that we will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed as things evolve. During these times of challenge, we are here to love each other and lift each other up!
In Love and Unity,
Rev Anne Tabor and Your Board of Trustees

Uniteens (6th through 8 grade)
Our Uniteen group meets each Sunday to explore spiritual truths and how these truths relate to their personal lives. This is a safe place for youth in their preteen years (middle school) to connect with others and explore what they believe. Our Uniteens attend weekend Unitreats for fellowship, lots of fun, and a chance to share their ideas and experiences with other Uniteens in the region.
Y.O.U. - Youth of Unity (9th through 12th grade)
Youth of Unity (Y.O.U.) is an active teen ministry for high school students.
Teens gather on Sunday to explore and discover spiritual truths and learn how these truths
relate to their lives. Our teens have the opportunity to attend weekend regional rallies for fellowship and sharing their ideas and experiences with other teens in the region.

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.
