"When In Doubt--Check the Lost and Found"
Sunday, September 26, 2021
11am CT, Rev. Kelly Isola, Guest Speaker
*Facebook Live and YouTube
Ever lose something? At the library? The gym? The mall? The airport? The movie theater? And then you mention to someone you’ve lost your item, and what do they say? "Check the Lost and Found.”
We often think of our favorite spiritual leaders throughout history, like Gandhi, Jesus or Buddha, as “countercultural” or “radical” or “unique” – and we like that, it helps spur us on. Jesus taught in parables, even Gandhi spoke and taught in cryptic ways, presenting complex ideas and challenges that had no easy answers. In the case of Jesus, oftentimes the values of “radical” and “unique” are not necessarily what the parables are conveying. More often than not, we are being teased into recognizing what we’ve already always known. Wanna learn more? Let’s check the Lost and Found.
About Rev. Kelly:
Rev Kelly Isola is an innovation alchemist, and passionate about supporting people and organizations to live and love more authentically by sharing her passion for living the two-fold path of an engaged spiritual life – embracing the inner path of wisdom, as well as demonstrating the outer path of compassionate service. She is the co-founder of project_SANCTUS (www.projectsanctus.com), an online safe and brave space for "getting our holy on” together. Rev. Kelly is a certified Embodied Social Activist, and a Somatic Abolitionist through intensive training with Resmaa Menakem and the Cultural Somatic Institute. Kelly shares her wisdom in the classroom around the globe through her own classes, and as faculty for two seminaries. Kelly is a blogger and writes for Unity magazine, various Unity booklets, and a number of online magazines. Read more about Kelly at www.kellyisola.com.

"The Good News from St. Francis"
Sunday, October 3, 2021
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live and YouTube
In honor of our annual Pet Blessing on Saturday, October 2nd, (via Zoom this year!), join Rev. Anne for a fun romp through the powerful spiritual lessons from St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. You might be surprised to learn how his wild and crazy youth led Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone to devote the rest of his life to God and all God’s creatures. Two-legged, four-legged, with wings or fins… these precious beings are some of our greatest spiritual teachers!

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.
