November 17, 2025

Our Sunday Service

This Sunday's Daily Word states I rest securely, knowing I am divinely protected. But how many of us REALLY feel protected in this hectic life of ours?

We welcome Rev. Marypatriece Wendt this Sunday and her message about life, our life experiences and putting them all together to move to our higher power.

Expand your own spirituality and connection as a commUNITY by taking an hour out of your busy week to join us for a thought-provoking message and powerful live music!

With Love At Christmas

Sundays in Advent

The Christmas story reminds us of the divine love within and around us. But in the holiday rush, we can lose sight of the true meaning of the season.

The new Unity Advent booklet, With Love at Christmas, will help you pause and center yourself in Spirit each day. Exploring love in all different forms, you’ll be invited to celebrate the divine love born in us all by reading:

Three unique stories about love of family

Sunday essays on the Advent themes of hope and faith, peace, love, and joy

Special Christmas Eve and Christmas Day readings

Additional messages through the 12 days of Christmas to Epiphany

Join Deb Walker for a spiritual discussion of this booklet after the service during the four Sundays of Advent, starting November 30. Whatever you are feeling this season, With Love at Christmas will nourish your spirit and warm your heart with messages of love written with you in mind.
