Joy to you as you discover the nativity in your life. We are living expressions of this story. Let’s ponder how to live as a human, divine One, awakened to infinite potential.
“There is One Presence and One Power active in the universe and in my life.” I think of that power as Love and when I am awake to it, I know joy. It’s not always a jumping up and down joy; sometimes it whispers and feels like peace and harmony. Sunday morning felt electric with the music and the energy in the room. Sunday evening felt joyous, calm, and harmonious as Barbie and I hosted the new member dinner at my home.
‘Tis the season for faith, peace, joy, and love! We celebrate the Truth of the season. Christmas calls us to repeatedly give birth to the Christ of our true nature with more awareness and passion. The fullest life is the one which is committed to giving the Christ, the gift of your true Self, to the world. To do this, we grow in our understanding of being one with Christ consciousness and in how to express that daily.
When I think about faith, the thing that is challenging, is leaning into what my heart knows even when I can’t quite see the proof in the external world. I am looking with the spiritual eyes of vision rather than my physical eyes. It’s a spiritual practice to trust the Truth I know or have experienced rather than the external view. It’s an opportunity to lean into the spiritual principles and know that they ALWAYS work.

Rusty has been a rock in the life of this church community, sharing generously his time, talent and treasure for over 30 years. His energy and devotion were boundless. Ellie and John Newbauer mentored Rusty in all things Unity. Lisa Lambeth nicknamed Rusty “Mr. Church.”
Much of Unity’s teachings are centered in ‘this moment right now.’ The greatest power we have is the power to choose where we are placing our attention and what is most important to us. Each ‘now’ moment is a point of power. We can dwell in the past, choose the gift of this moment, or go into worry about the future. It is empowering to recall that right here, right now, in this moment, we have all we need as we turn to the infinite Source within.
I am grateful! All month we are experiencing and expressing gratitude during our celebration services. The best way to celebrate Thanksgiving is not once a year but throughout every day. Here are some beautiful thoughts about getting the gratitude vibe rolling.
“In the small town of Santiago, Brazil, a project called Moeda Verde (Green Currency) is reshaping what community value looks like. Instead of treating food scraps as waste, residents bring their organic leftovers to collection stations and receive a symbolic local currency in return.
