Adventures in Spirit
FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS OF PROSPERITY
September 28 - October 24
Do you have a desire to be
more involved and meet new
friends while exploring Unity
teachings? We have just such an opportunity for you!
Adventures in Spirit is a time when we invite our entire community to come together and learn more about
this journey we call life.
There are four main components to the Adventures
in Spirit program:
- We will begin and end the program as a large group.
We begin on September 26 at 6:00 PM in Fellowship Hall, and as a large
group, share in a simple meal and time of meditation. Again, at the
end of our program, we come together as a large group in celebration
of the new relationships we have created and our deeper understanding
and practice of spiritual principle in our lives.
- Each Sunday the services will focus on the
spiritual principle we will be studying for the week.
- Everyone will have an opportunity to join in a small
group for deeper discussion and connection during the
week. These groups are facilitated by trained members, meeting in homes or at church, and are a great
way to meet new people.
Beginning on Sunday, September 28, we will be using Rev. Edwene Gaines’s book, Four Spiritual Laws
of Prosperity, A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance,
as our focus. This four-week program will allow each
of us to set an intent of recognizing our abundance
and living the abundant life we were created to live.
Rev. Edwene, an ordained Unity minister since 1979, and owner and director of
Rock Ridge Retreat Center in Valley Head, Alabama, describes herself as "A Woman
of Power." She has made a 100% commitment to the transformation of the abundance
consciousness of the world. Many of us have attended
workshops by Rev. Edwene and know the power of
change and abundance she draws forth.
Watch the Sunday Highlights for more information. Sign-ups for small groups will begin on
September 14.
THE THIRD JESUS
World-renowned spiritual teacher Deepak Chopra
is joining with Unity in teaching a dynamic program on his book, The Third
Jesus. For the first 30-minutes of the video program, Deepak will be joined by
Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell for a dialogue on the book. This will be followed by a
panel discussion with ministers and instructors from Unity Village.
We are designing this time together as an interactive
class. This means that after the video, we will be having
a discussion using the materials that will be provided by
Unity Village. This is a unique opportunity to experience viewpoints of other Unity ministers and to look at
Unity’s understanding of our master teacher, Jesus.
Wednesdays, October 29 - December 10
9:00 - 11:00 AM or 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Sanctuary
This program will be facilitated by Rev. Tom and Rev.
Charli, and is offered on a love offering basis.
A NEW EARTH
Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
In March, Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey invited people
from all over the world to engage in a 10-week program of spiritual transformation using his
book "A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose." Many people have commented about the
depth this program has taken them on their spiritual journey, and now we would like to offer
an opportunity to take this journey together.
"This book’s main purpose is not to add new information or
beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in
consciousness." Eckhart Tolle
During this 10-week program we will watch the conversations
with Eckhart Tolle and Oprah while we engage in our own conversations using the materials
provided online. We will be invited into processes that can facilitate our personal
awakening.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES
Ongoing ~ 9 - 11 AM
Rev. Charmaine Emerald
Required book: A Course in Miracles (available in
our Spiritual Resource Center)
Let us raise our hearts from dust to life as we remember this is promised us, and that
this course was sent to open up the path to us, step by step, how to return to the Eternal
Self we thought we lost.
A Course in Miracles is a program of spiritual discovery - uncovering the miracle-working
power within us. The teachings are universal: combining the insights of contemporary
psychology, spiritual wisdom of the East, essence of Christianity, and the principles of New
Thought. Its focus is on practical solutions to everyday living. The goal of the Course is
the removal of blocks we have established to the awareness of Love’s presence.
HEALING PRAYER SERVICE
Wednesdays, 6 PM
The Unity movement began with Myrtle Fillmore’s healing
from a variety of health challenges, the greatest of which was a diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Have you ever wondered how she did that and if it is possible for you to heal yourself as
she did?
Myrtle said, “I consider this the secret of my success in
healing: the spiritual revelation that God is in actuality our Father, the Source of our
life and the Substance of our bodies. As soon as I saw this truth I realized that He who
created us and who continues to sustain us is also patterning us after His own perfect ideas
– and that whatever He has created, He can restore.” (Page 135, How to Let God Help You,
from the writings of Myrtle Fillmore.)
Unity minister and author,
Martha Smock writes, “True healing is healing of the whole person – spirit, soul and body.”
We seek not only to heal our bodies, but also to change our thinking and therefore our
experience, as well as to come into a deeper relationship with God.
A dedicated team presents a
Healing Prayer Service every Wednesday night from 6 – 7 PM based on spiritual Truth
principles and prayer. This service will be held in the sanctuary. It will include a short
talk, a meditation, some quiet time for contemplation and an invitation at the end of the
service to join with a member of the Healing Team for individual prayer. Everyone is welcome
to join us as we continue the tradition of healing begun by Myrtle Fillmore.
