Sunday Service: Sunday, May 29th at 10:00 AM

God, Self, and Earth – with Naomi Steele

Invitation to Sunday Talk with Naomi Steele

Join us! Naomi Steele will be sharing from Unity’s core principles during our Season of the Earth, in a talk called “God, Self, and Earth”. We are going to explore together and play with words to discover a missing piece in our collective healing journey. Spiritual healing, relational healing, and physical healing. Let’s see if we can bridge the gap from suffocating separateness to expansive connectedness!


In-Person & Livestreaming on UnityCentralOregon.org

We are delighted to offer you the option of in-person service or Live-streaming on our website using Zoom! You can watch even if you don’t have a Zoom account (you don’t even have to fix your hair!). It will also be available as a recording in the video library on our website and on Facebook later that day. 

Masks are no longer required at our in-person service. We encourage those that still feel more comfortable wearing a mask to continue to do so. Whatever feels right for you is the choice we encourage you to go with. 😊😷


Youth Program

Wednesday at 3:30 our 11-14 year olds will meet with Rev. Jim in the sanctuary to learn some meditation techniques —and maybe play some four-square!

Sunday our elementary-aged kids will meet with Leia Napoli to explore the metaphysics of nests!

Join us in ‘The Nest’ this Sunday!

We Had a Great Time Talking Trash!

Here are some pics from our recent tour of Knott Landfill where a group of us learned what really can, and can’t, be recycled, and why it is so important in this region that we all reduce the trash going into the landfill that is set to be completely filled up in just 7 years!

If you have any questions about how to reduce and recycle contact Cylvia Hayes.

Making Peace with End of Life with Dr. Terri Daniel

June 12, 12:30-2:30 pm

Cost: $35

As elders, we are bombarded with advertising messages and social cues that prompt us to be active, look younger, and stay healthy and vibrant. What this cultural messaging neglects to tell us is how to navigate one of the most sacred journeys we will ever make… the transition from aging to end-of-life. In this unique workshop you will learn how to create a more positive relationship with death and grief as you face the loss of loved ones and the reality of your own eventual departure from physical life.

Dr. Terri Daniel is certified in death, dying and bereavement by the Association of Death Education and in trauma support by the International Association of Trauma Professionals. She has authored four books on death, grief, and the afterlife. https://danieldirect.net/

Help Us Get the Word Out!

Do you love Unity and think others would too? Do you agree that Unity is a too well-kept secret? Do you need to get more steps in for your exercise program? If the answer to any of these is yes, we have an opportunity for you!

Pretty soon we are going to have a big stack of cool door hangers that introduce Unity and invite folks to come check us out.  We will need lots of volunteers to walk neighborhoods and help get these out there.  Don’t worry there is no door knocking or evangelizing involved—just ninja activity to pop the hangers on the doors! Your kids can help!

We’d like to give a shout-out to Gayle Zeigler who came up with this innovative idea and who is taking the lead coordinating volunteers to help get them distributed.  Please contact Gayle if you’re willing to help and get that exercise while you’re at it!  —  Email Gayle

GOD SENSE

By Ande Cardwell

I sit

In Silence

And know that I am God.

I Feel

Nothing,

but the warmth of Creation

Taste

Nothing,

but the sweetness of Divinity

Smell

Nothing,

but the breath of my Being

Hear

Nothing,

but the symphony of Eternity

I See

Nothing,

I See nothing

I Just sit

In Silence

And know that I am God.

Sit in the silence…

Chris Tippets

Member Appreciation 🙏🏽

This week’s shout out is to Chris Tippets, who came to our Sunday service for only the second time last Sunday, but he came bearing gifts. He made delicious pizza rolls as a celebration of the life of his son who died five years ago and the transition from heavy grief that is allowing him to explore the new opportunities in his life. Chris, we are enjoying getting to know you and we appreciate your generosity in contributing to our brunch!

Pizza Rolls!
