Everything Is Holy Now - Rev. Michael Gott
And we know that all things work together for the good of them that love God and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 Someone once said, “God is frugal.” What this means is that Spirit uses everything! No part of our journey is excluded in our story of healing and wholeness. It often takes time to see it, but if we are committed to living by this principle, we will come to know that there is a seed of the sacred in every experience. If we are willing to become ope

Rise to the Occasion - Maryann Hackworth
What better time than Easter to celebrate our spiritual identity? Jesus our wayshower is cheering from the sidelines as we (collectively) roll away the stone of illusion…the false belief that we are separate from the Divine and separate from each other. This boulder of falseness has plagued mankind throughout the ages. It has clouded our perspective and tainted our creations. It is now time to bring forth the light of Truth. We are One. “I am in my Father and you are in me an

Who I Am and Whose I Am - Devon Jeffries
In "Who I Am and Whose I Am," Devon explores the transformative journey of Jacob and the spiritual lessons rooted within his story. Jacob’s life was marked by conflict, deception, fear, and fractured family relationship... particularly with his brother Esau. From grasping for a birthright to fleeing for his life, Jacob struggled not only with others, but with his own sense of identity and worth. A defining moment in his life, presented itself when he came face to face with an

A State of Grace - Rev. Patti Perhacs
Let’s contemplate the various definitions and beliefs about grace, and how we might embody and become that spark of grace as we go about our lives.

Change Your Lens, Change Your Life - Dorothy Washington
The ability to change our lives for the better is a foundational principle of Unity and many other spiritual communities. Numerous biblical verses support this. Among them is Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed by the world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...” The world and life circumstances do not have to control us. When we perceive life through a spiritual lens, we can have emotional, mental and spiritual sovereignty. Music by Anjelica Ferguson ABOUT DOR

A Case of Mistaken Identity - Steve Treu
All of our suffering, and indeed all of the world's, has the same root cause - the human ego. If we perceive our lives through our individualized, separated physical selves, we will embark on a long roller-coaster ride of highs and lows until we reach the same realization that was carved into stone at the Temple of Apollo in Greece - Gnōthi Seauton. Know Thyself. In this message, Steve will cover many of the ways in which Jesus and other prophets taught that "ye are gods" and

The Call to Love - Rev. Patti Perhacs
In Matthew it is written, “many are called but few are chosen”, informing us that although all are encouraged, only a small number respond to the call to Love, unity, and spiritual receptivity. Let’s consider the supportive teachings about love, the cry for love in our country, and using the Law of Attraction to create more love for all. We will end with a short exercise on “Expanding Love” inspired by Paramahamsa Yogananda to integrate the consciousness of love throughout th

All Paths Lead to Truth - Rev. Patti Perhacs
Our message will contemplate the profound reward of being spiritually centered in our “holy” self as we walk our path. Regardless of our actions, the Divine Mind, God, is before us, is us. So why do we struggle? Let's reflect on our path and the opportunity to find our way to our center. With each step we take, may we go deeper within, living in the light of truth, in peace.

What truth has been a guiding force in your life this year? We know that our innermost beliefs affect and mold our outer experiences. This begs the question: what do you know and trust? As 2025 draws to a close, let us honestly assess our inner belief system. With loving kindness and spiritual integrity, we can release what is false, and more clearly define our Truth. We may then “enter through the narrow gate” as Jesus advised… “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is
