Here's what's happening at Unity of Chattanooga:
GUEST SPEAKER ON SEPT 27 - REV JULIE BONIGER
Presenting: Let the River Run
Have you ever considered the spiritual wisdom of water: its persistence, adaptability, movement, and trust in the current. Like a river, we encounter bends, rapids, rocks, still places, and unexpected tributaries that become a part of our journey. Explore what happens when we loosen our grip on control, listen for the deeper current of Spirit, and allow life to shape us without losing our direction. This is an invitation to move with greater courage, flexibility, and faith into whatever we are being called to become.
GUEST SPEAKERS ON OCT 4TH - MEMBERS FROM OUR CONGREGATION
Presenting: Experiences of Spiritual Growth That Come From Change
Fall is often equarted with change. Four of our congregants will step up to the podium and share from their lifetime of experiences about personal change. We are often inspired on our own journeys when we hear about how others have faced their life lessons.
POTLUCK ON OCT 4TH
Here's your chancee to enjoy good company and lots of good food. Please bring your favorite dish to share.
GUEST SPEAKER ON OCT 11TH - GREGORY FISHER
Pesenting:THE DIVINE UNION
This is about the awakening to the reality that the deepest truth of who we are has never been separate from the Divine. The destiny of greatness is when a soul has transcended the restraints in which we arrived with or created in our younger years and realize that the very essence of who we are is always what we have been looking for.
SAVE THE DATE ON OCT 21ST -HERBS for the THINNING VEIL
Heather Holloway from Cat & the Crow Botanicals explores the history, folklore, and ways to honor ancestors with botanicals.

NEW SPIRITUAL CONNECTION GROUP
All are welcome to attend these Study Groups. Watch for details about our next upcoming book study group on Tuesday mornngs at 10:45.
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.
