PARADISE, PROSPERITY, OR
ETERNAL LIFE?
with Rev Geo Downer
10 AM - Sanctuary
One of the stories of Jesus’ Teachings in the synoptic gospels recounts a young wealthy man who asks about how to inherit eternal life. Jesus answers by directing his attention to the Commandments; the young man conveys his commitment to their observance. Jesus continues that it would then be necessary for the rich man to sell all that he owns, give it to the poor, and then follow him. Taking this story literally has been significantly frightening for many people throughout history. Understanding the story metaphysically brings us into a whole new way of being. The teachings of Jesus contain numerous invitations to rethink, reassess, and revalue our lives even today. Join us this Sunday to consider what this story can mean for you in 2022. The story of the rich young ruler has captivated imagination and inspired countless people through the years. The well-known Hawaiian song, Kanaka Waiwai recounts this story, and this Sunday we’ll raise our voices, and raise our thoughts to this song, as we embody the high ideals of the story.

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.

TIMELESS VISIONS FOR A TURBULENT WORLD
A Metaphysical Understanding of the Prophecies of Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel
With Su Choy, LUT, UNSPR ministerial candidate
As we continue to witness the unfolding of calamitous events around the globe – war, terrorism, the pandemic, extreme natural disasters – our search for guidance in the present and reassurance for the future intensifies. How do we assign spiritual meaning to these events, and how can we best respond to and even prepare for them? Though many Christians are teaching fearful interpretations of the so-called “end of times” prophecies revealed in the Hebrew scriptures, Unity teaches a more loving and life-giving approach.
Keeping in mind that Unity’s co-founder Charles Fillmore understood the bible as “the story of man’s generation, degeneration and regeneration” in consciousness, we can interpret the prophecies as different phases of our spiritual unfoldment. In this way, we can apply their symbolism to our lives – both individual and collective – for greater realization of our spiritual potential as well as for faith in the journey.

Reverend Tim Lytle
-Unity & Hinduism
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.

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.
