What Child is This? What Hope is This?
with Rev Geo Downer
10 AM - Sanctuary
Advent is a time-honored Christian tradition spanning centuries. The original ideas and attitudes that generated Advent are based in the hope of brighter times. Advent is an annual commemoration centered around the eventual return of the light of the Sun, and of course, the birth of Jesus. The bright light and example of our Master Teacher call to each of us to follow his example. The renewal and the return of the Sun invite every one of us to remain hopeful, and anticipate with expectancy days of greater light, and greater radiance.
After a couple of years of unexpected isolation and seeming darkness the traditions we observe in 2022, might be closer to the intimacy and closeness of our earlier years in life. In this season of faith, we can expect more light through the day, and we can expect to embody the Christ-light. Join us for Sunday celebration to explore what child is this, and what hope might we live toward in our lives?

Masks and Social Distancing...
Although the mask mandate has been lifted in the State of Hawaii, we respectfully request that we continue to wear a mask during our service. Properly worn masks are still strongly recommended while inside Unity Windward. Please, persist in holding a vision for everyone's health, peace, ease, and comfort. Align in prayer to envision moving out and away from this time of challenge and opportunity. If you are not feeling well or if you are running a fever, please stay home and take very good care of yourself and your loved ones. Numerous sources report that vaccinated people run a significantly lower risk of severe illness than those unvaccinated.

10:00 - 11:30
FROM SEED TO SHINING FLOWER: THE UNFOLDING OF DIVINE IDEAS IN NEW THOUGHT WRITING
Do you know where mystical ideas such as “There’s only one power and one presence” and “There is within us a spark of Divinity” come from? How about the principles of Manifestation and Flow?
If you believe that Charles and Myrtle Fillmore originated these ideas, you might need to think again. If you wish to discover the original source of New Thought ideas and trace their full flowering in contemporary Christian thought, then this class is for you.
JOIN US for a new class called “From Seed to Shining Flower: the Unfolding of Divine Ideas in New Thought Writing.” It will take place on Zoom from 10–11:30am HST for four weeks, offered as always for a love donation. In this class, we will:
• examine the essence and stages of Mysticism
• trace the development of New Thought through its most gifted writers such as Pseudo-Dionysius, Erigena, Meister Eckhart, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and more
• understand why New Thought Christianity is the bridge builder to the future
• enjoy enlightening discussion and applied writing exercises

UNITY & WORLD RELIGIONS BOOK STUDY
Feast with us on Saturdays, during an online spiritual brunch that is spread before us with Unity & World Religions. Join class at any time! Paul John Roach is a sage and seasoned Unity minister, who weaves the fabric of life, religion, and spiritual practice with his instant classic, Unity and World Religions. This highly readable book is an excellent reference, stacked with stories of how human beings realize, recognize and regard the One Presence and One Power in the Universe. The Infinite connects us together through the cords of ancient ideas from the world’s religions.
Spiritual ideas run like golden threads throughout the theologies of our planet. These ancient ideas that form the world’s religions are gently revealed and exposed through the fiber and texture of the five universal principles taught by Unity. Come to embody 5 universal principles, flowing forth from the common threads of many faith traditions. Reverend Roach interweaves the tapestry of Unity’s five universal principles within their original expression of more traditional faiths. You’ll touch and feel the fabric of many major and minor religions during our gathering together on Saturday’s Spiritual Brunch and Metaphysical feast.
