Here's what's happening at Unity of Chattanooga:
REV CHRISTINA GARZA - GUEST SPEAKER ON AUGUST 31TH
We are pleased to welcome back Rev Christina to talk about healing emotional wounds. This is a spiritual journey of acknowledging pain, and inviting in God's love to help us transform any hurt into wholeness. This journey is not about forgetting the past, but transforming it into a source of wisdom, strength and deeper connection with God to allow Divine wholeness to restore us.
With over 20 years walking the Unity and New Thought path, she blends deep metaphysical wisdom with real-world heart. She was ordained in 2019 through Unity Urban Ministerial School in Detroit. Her ministry often centers on the often-overlooked—the LGBTQ community, Spanish-speaking folks, low-income families—and makes sacred space for healing, wholeness, and belonging. She preaches in two languages and builds bridges where others build walls.

REV DANNY SPEARS - GUEST SPEAKER ON SEPTEMBER 7TH
Presenting "If God is a DJ..."
So there we are movin' and groovin' along in life. It's like our lives are one big dance party, and we are lovin' it! What happens, however, when the music changes, or even stops? Better yet, what are we going to do if we lack confidence in our dance moves?
Rev Danny is the senior minister of Unity of Gainesville in Georgia. He has the perfect blend of wisdom and wit.
POWER OF EIGHT PRAYER GROUP ON AUGUST 31ST
Affirmations, prayer, and meditation are sacred practices that help align us with God’s presence. The Power of Eight is a prayer group to create the energy for Healing Others, Your Life, and the World with a specific intention by focusing on and visualizing the outcome in detail. This group meets to hold a positive vision for the future of our country. There is an old saying that if you have time to worry, then you have time to pray!

NEW DAYTIME SPIRIT CONNECTION GROUP MEETING ON TUESDAYS
Starting Tuesday August 26th, this 7-week daytime class meets at 10:45 AM and will be based on a Unity classic by Eric Butterworth called "in the Flow of Life". No matter what you think you may be, you are the flowing forth of the ONE! And yet most people live life from trying to conform with it or resist it, never knowing that the fullness of the universe comes through you and not just to you.
These Spirit Groups are a cohesive, strategic program that is designed to inspire our spiritual community. Groups can meet once a week for 6-10 weeks to experience healthy, spiritually balanced on the principles called “The Five C’s”, which are:
Communion: SpiritGroup members grow through personal reflection, prayer and/or meditation time. Members begin each meeting with prayer or meditation and group members volunteer to take on the role of a prayer leader for the group.
Connection: SpiritGroup members cultivate fun and fulfilling relationships with each other. Group gatherings contribute to the development of meaningful relationships.
Compassion: All members of the group proactively seek to support and care for each other in times of joy and times of challenges.
Community: SpiritGroups enrich the community by choosing to serve together in ways that benefit the local, regional, and/or global community by participating in one community service project together.
Challenge: SpiritGroup members proactively apply what they are learning through their group gatherings. They encourage each other in their spiritual growth and provide non-judgmental support to help each other progress toward their intentions for spiritual growth.
