IT'S TIME AGAIN FOR OUR HYBRID SERVICE
That means the UNITICS are returning with a great selection of toe-tapping, uplifting songs. They are always a crowd pleaser.
Then the service opens up to a Spiritual Discusion led by Eric Miller that always brings our community closer together as people share their insights. Here are some of the topics we might consider:
• Does anyone want to share any favorite takeaways from our recent talks or speakers?
• What questions, or memories, or life lessons, did they trigger (for you)?
• What’s something you really want, but are afraid to pray for?
• When do you feel the most meaning or purpose in your life?
• How do you find peace and replenishment when the world around you seems to be going crazy?
GUEST SPEAKER ON SEPT 6th - AMANDA ADAMSON
Presenting - Both/And: Navigating Paradox in an Either/Or World
Explore what happens when we stop choosing sides and start expanding our awareness by learning how a paradox can open us, guide us, and help us live from our Divine Nature in real and practical ways.
Join us for a lively, honest, and uplifting message that invites you to see yourself and the world with new power and deeper compassion.
GUEST SPEAKER ON SEPT 13TH - REV THERESE LEE
Pesenting:"Embracing Change"
Unity Co-Founder Myrtle Fillmore said, “You have it within you to do all that you need to do. Get at it.” Are you ready? Are you willing?
God's will for each of us is to live a blessed life. Rev. Therese will unpack how we get to live from our Divinity and allow our Christ-consciousness to lead the way.

ONGOING EVENTS AND CLASSES:
MONTHLY DRUMMING CIRCLE

WELLNESS WARRIORS
Cancer survivor Eric Miller heads up a positive, practical, support group for people who are dealing with health issues. This group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at noon. The next meetings in August will be on Thursday, August 6th and 19th.. Share your challenges and share your victories as well as set positive health intentions for ourselves. This group was created to empower each other on our journeys to living a healthier life. Instead of being a wellness worrier, let's all become wellness warriors!
UNITY COMMUNITY DISCUSSION GROUP UPDATE
POWER OF EIGHT PRAYER GROUP
Meets on the 1st Sunday of each month which will be August 2nd at 12:15 in our downstairs meditation room following fellowship. All are welcome.
NEW SPIRITUAL CONNECTION GROUP
All are welcome to attend this Study Group that will be hosted by Eric & Laura Miller at their home from 5:30 to 7:00 PM for 6 weeks. Contact the church for more info.
These Spiritual Connection Groups are a cohesive, strategic program that is designed to inspire our spiritual community. Groups meet once a week for 5-6 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.
