 "Oh Yeah, the VOID"
Sunday, April 26
, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
How do we grow through change in a loving and healthy way? Few of us have learned to deal with the three stages of change--"Endings,"
"The Void," and "New Beginnings"--yet it is unavoidable. This has always been true, but is especially so today as we grow through a global pandemic together.
Robert Brumet's book, Finding Yourself in Transition, helps us discover the spiritual opportunities found in life's series of endings and beginnings to transform them into a whole new dimension of living. Join Rev. Anne for part two of her Sunday Message Series based on Robert Brumet's book that will inspire you to change the way you look at change.

 "The Turning Point"
Sunday, May 3
, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
Join Rev. Anne as she concludes our talk series based on Robert Brumet's book,
Finding Yourself in Transition,
and we explore how each "crisis" can be a turning point that naturally guides us to end an old way of being and open the way to new life. This is the gift... to know that chaos gives birth to transformation IF we are willing to allow the divine plan to unfold. One of the ways to prepare for a new beginning is to let go of fear and discover your soul's deepest desires.

 Book Study - Finding Yourself in Transition
Thursdays, April 23rd, April 30th,
and
May 7th
7pm - 9pm Zoom
Rev. Anne Tabor
Joyous and challenging, the one constant in life is change. Change is inevitable. Indeed, we are always in a place of transition in some aspect of our lives--this is especially true now as we grow through a global pandemic. The focus of our book study is how to navigate the process of change as an opportunity for transformation and spiritual awakening.
Rev. Anne will be leading this three-week book study to
follow along with her three-part Sunday Message Series based on Robert Brumet's book,
Finding Yourself in Transition: Using Life's Changes for Spiritual Awakening.
Suggested Love Offering: $15/class
You will be invited to make your Love Offering via a safe and secure way to give during each 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.
