CommUNITY Connections April 13, 2026

April 13, 2026

This Sunday

Members of our Spiritual Leadership team have crafted a unique service for this Sunday. Take part in a deeply meditative, reflective time focused on silence, peace and community. Expand your own spirituality and our connection as a commUNITY.

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

Sunday's Daily Word: Friendly: I greet others with a friendly and open heart.

Unity of Appleton Prayer Team

If you are interested in learning about the power of affirmative prayer, Unity of Appleton's Prayer Team meets this Sunday at 9:00 am in the boardroom. All are welcome!

Individual prayer support is offered after the service in the Meditation Room at the back of the Sanctuary. Confidential prayer requests also may be submitted in the prayer box located adjacent to the Connect and Serve table.

Prayer requests will be prayed upon by the Prayer Team and then forwarded onto Silent Unity for one month. At any time, Silent Unity Prayer Ministry may be reached at 816-969-2000.

Book Sale

This Sunday, April 19

Unity members enjoy reading—and who doesn't love a great deal--so make sure to check out our book sale this Sunday after the service! Any unsold items will be available at the Rummage Sale in May.

Meatless Potluck

This 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 this Sunday, April 19th. 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.
