From the Minister
Dear Unity Friends,
Charles Fillmore taught, “Faith is spiritual assurance; the power to do the seemingly impossible. It is the magnetic power that draws unto us our heart’s desire from the invisible spiritual substance. Faith is a deep inner knowing that that which is sought is already ours for the taking.”
In other words, faith is more than mere belief. To have faith in God is to have the faith of God. And so, now more than ever, it’s important to Keep the Faith.
|
|
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

Love For No Reason
“The Doorway to Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Love”
Sunday, November 8, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Rumi wrote, “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
How do we dissolve these barriers? What steps can we take to walk through the doorway to unconditional love? Not just from one perspective, but holistically from all angles—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Join Rev. Anne for the 2nd of her three-part talk series based on the book, Love for No Reason, as she shares Marci Shimoff’s specific keys to opening your heart and transforming your life.

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
Principle #2:
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Principle #5:
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.
A person must live the truth he or she knows.
|
CORE VALUES
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in
all we do.
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole human family.
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity, we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas
of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
