We all know that roughage is good for our digestive health. It helps us in eliminating toxins from our bodies. Come and join us as we discover the value of a Spiritual diet high in Spiritual Fiber. Let’s see how many toxic beliefs we can release by putting our own Spiritual Fiber to work!

There’s something very exciting happening right now in the Unity movement. You might have been sensing it in our classes and conversations. Bold thinkers in the Unity movement are questioning unquestioned answers. “Sacred Cows” of embedded theology are being led out to the fields of Unlimited Pasture. A new “edge” is being danced around, a growing edge, and we are not only a part of this growing edge - we are the growing edge. What does it mean to find yourself at the very forefront of a movement that is encouraging you to ask questions? What does it mean to stand on the shore of yet another Red Sea with unquestioned answers behind you and a Promised Land of Spiritual Integrity before you? Come and join us for a powerful Unity Share in which four members of our beloved community reflect on what it means to question unquestioned answers. Bring your unquestioned answers with you - that way we will all surely grow!

“…but test everything; hold fast to what is good;” - 1 Thessalonians 5:21

If we think of Love as a transaction, then we may come to a community expecting to be served in return for something that we give. But the Power of Love is not transactional. We hope you enjoy this episode in which we explore what it means for a community to express the Power of Love as a commonly held Desire for the Highest Good of all.

Some cycles, such as going to sleep and waking up, are easily understood as being continuous. But what of the cycle of forgiveness? Are we ready to embrace it as a necessary and ongoing continuum, as essential to our well-being as breathing? We hope you enjoy this episode as we take a deep dive into the process of forgiveness. As we remember our Divine Nature, let’s forget to count how many times we have forgiven.

 
Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”- Matthew 18:21

The White Stone Ceremony is the sacred conclusion to our Holiday journey. In the times that Jesus walked the earth, a newly freed slave was given a white stone to signify that they were no longer bound in service to anyone other than their own Divine Self. When we no longer give ourselves the limiting names of “Shame, Guilt, Fear, or Hatred”, we are free to call ourselves by our True names, such as: “Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy”.  We hope you enjoy this message in which we are guided into a deep listening so that can hear our new names and write them onto a clean white stone which we will then carry with us as we move forward into our next journey around the sun.

“To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.” Revelation 2:17.

This service took place the day after Christmas.  Rev. Carolyn Swift Jones guided us through a special releasing ceremony where we unwrapped the Gift that keeps on giving- our very own True Self. Nothing under the tree, nothing hung by the chimney with care, just our very own radiant Light, ready to be unboxed and given away.
If you received the holiday package of materials, you will need your dissolvable paper for this service.  It's the blank 8 1/2 x 11 white paper with the slightly waxy feel.  Also have a pen or pencil, a vessel of any kind with water in it, and a spoon to stir the paper with once it's in the water. If you haven't already written on this paper the things you want to release, you will have time during the service to do so.  Please, don't dissolve it before Rev. Carolyn invites us all to do so.

In the Gospel of Luke, 2:10, the angel announces Jesus’ birth to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid…I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people…” However, we rarely think about this directive outside of the Christmas season. For all intents and purposes it is a “to-do” list: Good news. Great joy. All people. Check. Not that I need another list, but by engaging in these three tasks, I open the floodgates of my true nature, which is love.

Sometimes it takes a very special friend to let you know just how powerful you are. Sometimes this kind of friend is someone you know well. And sometimes this kind of friend is someone you have never actually met. We hope you enjoy this unique Twelve Powers service in which we identify twelve friends who have shown us just how very full of Light we are. You may want to have a candle and match ready so you can participate fully in the candle lighting ceremony. 

“I don’t call you slaves any longer, because a slave doesn’t know what his master’s doing. I’ve called you friends instead…”- John 15:15

By now, we all know how to put ourselves on mute. But do we recognize the spiritual invitation that the mute button is offering?  It may be that this ability to occasionally mute ourselves is, in and of itself, a great gift to give a noisy world.  In this episode, we consciously quiet our thoughts so that we may experience and spread the Peace that passes all understanding. How silently the wondrous gift is given!

And look, you will be silent and unable to speak until these things have come to pass…-Luke 1:20
