Unity Principles
  #1
God is good and everywhere present.

#2
The Spirit of God lives within each person; 
therefore, all people are inherently good.

#3
We create our life experiences 
through our way of thinking.

#4
There is power in affirmative prayer, 
which we believe 
increases our connection to God.

#5
Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. 
We must live them.

OUR VISION 
God,  
manifesting as each of us,  
transforms the world through shared spiritual awakening and ever-expanding Love.  


Very Good News
Two regular 
not-wealthy 
everyday women 
erase the medical debt 
of 1,284 New Yorkers
  

Last spring, Judith Jones and Carolyn Kenyon heard about R.I.P. Medical Debt, 
a nonprofit that buys past-due medical bills 
at a steep discount and forgives them. 

So the women, both of Ithaca, N.Y., 
started a fund-raising campaign of their own 
to help those in need. 

They needed only a very small 
fraction of the cost to cancel the debts.

  AFFIRMATION

God's healing life fills me and restores me.  I am whole. God created me to express life, light and total well-being.    
 
The life of God fills every cell of my body, and every fiber of my being. As I hold thoughts of God's healing presence, I allow my body and my entire being to accept 
health and wholeness
as my true reality.  
 
I am secure, well, and whole.
Prayerful Support
Our Prayer Chaplains hold sacred space, lovingly listen,  
pray from the heart,
and hold in confidence what's shared.  
 
for personal support
  
    
 SILENT UNITY
 
Anyone can call 1-800-NOW PRAY and speak to a prayer associate who will pray with you in person.  
 
Their calm, reassuring affirmations help us remember the Truth that God in us is greater than any challenge.
