"The Promise"

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

Saturday Afternoon, Dec 24 @ 4pm


Christmas, at its heart, is a promise. A child is born, and we trust for the future. A mother and a father know there is a responsibility ahead of them, and they promise to fulfill it. 


God promises that we also can be reborn, and that our souls will break forth into songs of joy with the realization of our limitless possibilities.


What promise will you make to yourself

and to the world on this Holy Christmas Eve, 2022? 


With Rev Robin Volker

We’ve celebrated the glory and joy of the birth of the Holy Child. We’ve marveled at the wonder of birth and rebirth.


Now what? 


Please join us at Unity Church of the Mountains at 10:30 on Christmas Morning as we consider … The Rest of the Story.

Cozy Christmas Was Wonderful!

It was a chilly day, but our hearts were warm and the vibe was welcoming.

Many thanks to all the helpers and haulers. We love our church family!

A BIG thank you to our photographers Suzi Henry and Rick Volker.

Embracing A Fresh Start

Burning Bowl & White Stone Experience with Mike Davis

Release what no longer serves you; honor a new life path.


This year, each month on the first Sunday, we’ll look at a different aspect of our spiritual lives. January focuses on Faith and the color for Faith is Blue.

Please consider wearing blue on Jan 1!

ATTEND MEMBERSHIP CLASS


If you are new to Unity and would like a deeper look at the Unity way... or if you are stepping up to membership, you are invited to this interesting class, which explores beliefs and a little history of the movement.


We'll meet on Jan 1, right after the Burning Bowl and White Stone event, for about an hour.


Let Mike know you will be there.

Looking Ahead to January
