From the Minister
Dear Friends,
February 23rd marked the anniversary of the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was chased down and then shot by armed men in the streets of Brunswick, Georgia. What had Mr. Arbery been doing? Jogging.
He should still be here.
Last week in Plano, Texas, during brutally cold temperatures, Rodney Reese, an 18-year-old Black man was walking home in the snow after working the late shift at a local Walmart. Wearing a t-shirt and no coat in 18 degree weather, police offers started following him and asking him questions. Instead of offering him a ride home, they arrested him without any justification.
The charges brought against the high school senior were eventually dropped and the Plano Police Department has now acknowledged they had insufficient evidence to take him into custody.
Now, another Black teenager lives with the story of being harassed by officers for simply walking home from work. And we all know this could have—and often does have—a very different ending.
And so, this week I’m thinking about the word accountability… as in what it means to be held accountable for your actions. We hear so many people grumbling about the results of “cancel culture.” This is especially true in the political arena.
Well, how about substituting “accountability culture” in its place? After all, harmful words and harmful behaviors have consequences. Moving forward I will be using “accountability culture.” I invite you to consider doing the same.
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

Sunday, March 7, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Every choice you make becomes part of your life story. And it’s happening in real time because it’s also a story being written by you in real time! It could be a thoughtful response—or—an emotional reaction that in hindsight is something you wish you hadn’t said or done. Join Rev. Anne for part two of her talk series, 3 Quality Questions: Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself, as we look at the critical question to ask yourself in order to create the most desirable story for your lifetime.

Key Things to Know
About COVID-19 Vaccines
Source: CDC.GOV,, Updated Feb. 9, 2021
As you most probably know, we are well into a new phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, where certain types of vaccines are being administered even as others are still being developed. As research and development progress we'll be able to have a far-reaching administration of these vital treatments. But until more and more people are able to get their vaccines it is important to remember to still practice all of the safe practices we have been doing for almost a year now: wear your mask, frequently wash your hands, and maintain social distancing. As more and more of us get vaccinated hopefully the time will come when these practices are are no longer necessary, but we are not there yet.

Spiritual counseling can help if there is a need for inspiration, crisis support, or healing in any area of your life.

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.
