Join us this Easter Sunday to hear Rev. Sandra McKinney's message The Power of the Easter Story. If we allow Easter to be a metaphor for the deeper meanings of life and spiritual awakening, then Easter can be entered into as a conscious inner quest-- a quest that asks and honors what is stirring within oneself. 

As the Daily Word says for this Sunday, Each rising is proof that resurrection is a divine energy pulsing through every heartbeat and breath.

What we create together in commUNITY we spread out to the world!

Sunday's Daily Word: Easter: On this glorious Easter morning, I rise.

Join Unity of the Southeast Region Good Friday for a deeper understanding of “The Seven Last Words of Jesus” as presented by Unity leaders, Youth and Young Adults from SE Unity Ministries.  They will guide and inspire through a 3-hour contemplative experience. Each segment will have music, a short discourse, meditation and end with a minute of silence.

Log on Friday, April 3rd anytime between 10:45am and 1:45 pm CT to experience a part of or to enjoy the entire service. This year, The Good Friday Project will also be aired on Anointed Radio (https://uums.org/uums-radio/).  Being on both platforms is an opportunity for all to hear and observe.

The Good Friday Project is presented on a “Love Offering” basis. Proceeds will aid in supporting their Y.O.U. Regies and YFM Ministry Consultant attending I.Y.O.U. in July and providing scholarships to Young Adults in the Southeast Region seeking to take SEE coursework for credit.

Once you have registered, a link to join them on Zoom will be sent out a day or two prior to the service. To register click on the link below: 

We really need some people to volunter to help run basic tech systems that keep worship smooth and distraction free.

Key Duties:

• Operate and troubleshoot A/V equipment
• Run PowerPoint slides for services
• Manage Zoom meetings for services
• Set up and monitor livestreams using OBS
• Provide quick tech support during services
• Team work with other tech members
• Keep software up to date.
• Arrive 45 minutes prior to service for set-up

If you are comfortable with computers and willing to learn, reliable, calm under pressure and team oriented, please talk to Laura or Bert to learn more!

We’re known for being a warm and welcoming community and that’s something to celebrate! Now, we’d love to take that welcome one step further. What if we shifted our mindset from “visitors” to “guests”? Can you feel the difference? Guests are people we intentionally care for, connect with and make sure feel comfortable from beginning to end.

We do a beautiful job greeting people as they arrive. Where we could use a little extra help is after the service. Many of us have responsibilities once the service concludes, and it can be hard to continue those meaningful connections. That’s why we’re looking to expand our welcome team.

We’re hoping to create a simple rotation--perhaps a once a month commitment--so more of us can help connect with newcomers while still keeping flexibility in our schedules.

What might this look like?

• Greeters introduce you to anyone who is new
• You share a bit about our rotating ministers and the optional discussion time after service
• If they stay, accompany them downstairs for coffee and conversation
• If they’re interested, give them a brief tour of the building

It’s really about presence —making sure no one leaves feeling unnoticed or unsure of what’s next.

If you would be willing to help us extend our Unity hospitality in this way, we would be so grateful. Together, we can continue creating the loving, welcoming experience that makes Unity feel like home. Interested? There is a sign-up sheet at the Connect and Serve table!

DIVINE ORDER

I trust divine order is always unfolding.

Our steps are made firm by the Lord when he delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.

--Psalm 37:23-24
