This Sunday

This Sunday

Join us this Sunday to hear our Minister of Record Rev. Marylou Palmer Cardoza speak to us about the power of inner peace in a turbulent and uncertain physical world.  As the Daily Word says for this Sunday, Whatever I am called to face, I have inner resources to handle it peacefully.

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

Sunday's Daily Word: Inner Peace: Secure in the presence of God, I am peaceful and strong.

Men's and Women's Mastermind

Men's and Women's Mastermind

Saturday, April 11

Spiritual but not religious? We get that! Come check out our Mastermind meetings!

A men's or women's mastermind group is a small group where members provide mutual support, brainstorming and accountability to help each other achieve their personal goals. In our Mastermind meetings, we set our intentions for the month and explore ideas through the lens of Unity's metaphysical principles. We share experiences, learn from each other and develop strategies for success together.

Join us for a discussion of powerful spiritual techniques. You'll be glad you did!

Meatless Potluck

Meatless Potluck

Sunday, April 19

In celebration of Earth Day and focusing the entire month of April upon our awareness of spirit in all life forms, we are holding a meatless potluck enjoying plant food on Sunday, April 19th.  Please look for yummy old or new recipes and share your creations with your Unity friends. The children and their families will contribute their version of Stone Soup, coming together as a community, sharing a little from many to create a feast of minestrone soup. 
 
Remember also to look for the Earth Care prize drawing box on the Connect and Serve Table, where you give yourself credit for your actions of 2025-2026 Principle #5, living the truth you know, in actions of love, kindness, respect, protection of our earth and beings, sharing our earth.
 
In other words, if you did any of the following or others, please write down your action, along with your name and phone #, and place it in the prize drawing box:
1. Composting fruits and vegetable scraps
2. Grew a garden of vegetables, or for pollinators
3. Compost plastic bags
4. Stopped or minimized using single-use plastic containers
5. Reduced, reused, recycled
6. Avoided wasting food
7. Walked more, drove less, or carpooled more
8. Hung clothes out to dry
9. Reduced ingestion of plastics
10. Increased awareness via viewing documentaries (i.e. Plastic Detox [Netflix], Forks over Knives, Kiss the Ground, The Reducetarian Solution)
11. Reduced eating of meat to benefit the planet's resources and one's own health
12. Check out this website and register your kitchen table with https://1milliontables.org/ to see the environmental impact you and your family have made in eating a meatless meal.
