Easter Sunday


On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the risen Christ. We celebrate the awakening and the reawakening of our souls, and yes, our minds and bodies.


Do you sometimes feel that there’s a shell, a wall or even a tomb holding you in and holding you back? Let’s crack that thing wide open, and follow Jesus into the SonLight! God is good.


Our services are live

Loving Our Church Family

Photos by Bob Sleczkowski & Suzi Henry

Our Palm Sunday service was made even more special by Rev Robin Volker's powerful message , which was followed by a glowing meditation. While our choir numbered only four of our regulars (Little Jeanette Senart was tucked into the back row), their enthusiasm was contagious. The spiritual energy was evident from Rick Volker's opening prayer through the lively singing of our Peace Song. Be sure to join us next Sunday for a memorable Easter service with Mike Davis, who just returned from a family visit in beautiful Vancouver.

Mike's Weekly Video - In the Presence of Love

Mike Davis created this video in 2016, two days after a tragic shooting at the Pulse, a popular nightclub in Orlando. Cathy Dewitt joined Mike in the background vocals, and Paula Davis was the videographer. It's a brief and stirring reminder of why it's so important to shine our light into the world, spreading the message of love and peace on Easter Sunday and every day.

SILENT UNITY

3 Unity Chicks Hit the Appalachian Trail

This photo was taken on Day 3 of a hike on a portion of the Appalachian Trail which started at Woody Gap. Day 1 was Walt and Joanne's 26th anniversary, so he met Joanne and Jayne for a brief celebration. Mary Elder joined them on the third day for an overnight stay at one of the shelters. Joanne says she has hiked four sections of the trail, and you can rest assured that there will be more in the future. (Check out Mary's spiffy AT cap!)

Happy Birthday

Easter Affirmations

An Easter Bunny, an Easter Chick,

But wait! Is that a CAT eying them?

Actually, the cat's name is Angelica, and she is part of the feline family on Suzi Henry's Funny Farm. She might take a swipe at the bunny or chick, but her three favorite things in life are 1) begging for treats, 2) trying to open every door and cupboard in the house and 3) batting and chewing the shoelaces on all of Mom's sneakers.
