Our Sunday Service

This Sunday is the first week of ADVENT! Christmas is right around the corner... but first we need to take a breath and focus on all the upcoming joys of the season. We welcome Rev. Ray Nelson all the way from Minneapolis this Sunday and his message of hope and faith for the Christmas season.

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!

Sunday's Daily Word: Hope and Faith: I walk by faith and live each day with hope in my heart.

SPA Toy Drive

SPA is hosting a toy drive! Choose your favorite way to participate, whether that’s a monetary gift, a toy or even a pause for prayer. All methods are appropriate and appreciated.

The sales have begun! If you choose to shop, please bring in a new, unwrapped toy by December 10. Thank you!

Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army

Friday, December 5

Want to hang out with the cool kids? Be a bell ringer!

Unity celebrates our commUNITY by ringing bells for the Salvation Army Friday, December 5 from 6-7 pm, followed by dinner together! Locations are Walgreens on Casaloma, Walgreens on Northland Blvd and Woodmans.

With Love At Christmas

Starts this Sunday after the service

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. 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.

Cookies and Conversation

A new kind of Town Hall

Join us after the service Sunday, December 7 for a new take on our Town Hall gathering: Cookies and Conversation.

Bring your favorite cookies to share, get some coffee from the Unity Cafe, learn the news and share your views about what is happening at Unity of Appleton!
