Blessing of the Animals

It's time for our annual Blessing of the Animals! Each October we open our doors to our animal companions and bless them for the joy and comfort that they brings us. So bring your pets to service on Sunday October 1. Following the service, in our courtyard, we will bless them. Invite your friends with pets and spread the word! Please make sure your pets are on a leash or in a crate for their own safety. If your pet doesn't like to travel or is too timid, bring a picture of them to be blessed.

Drumming Circle

The drumming circle is held on the first Sunday of the month. It will next be in the sanctuary at 1:30 p.m. on October 1. Ask those who participate who report what a great experience it is. This event is open to anyone with or without drumming experience. Come and join in the rhythm of the spirit. Contact Ruben Diaz for more information.
Paintings Available
Basil Brummel was a faithful member of Unity Spiritual Center for many years until he made his transition a few years ago. He was also a prolific artist. His son has donated some of his paintings to us and we are offering them to anyone who would like one for a love offering.
