Come Together Now!

Bring a Friend Sunday & Potluck

With Rev. Jane Hiatt

As we mark the 21st anniversary of 9/11, just a week after the gun violence at Safeway, we are reminded that the most powerful medicine needed at such times is caring community. Unity Spiritual Community is a hearth where all can gather and find welcome, regardless of skin color, sexual orientation, political persuasion, age, or any other quality used to exclude people. We not only welcome all people but cultivate the power of community in a deep way. For this Sunday, we ask everyone to invite a friend and bring a potluck dish for brunch. Let’s introduce more people to the sweetness and strength of this community.

Kids Activities this Sunday

This Sunday Genesis Ilada will lead our kids ages 5 – 11 yrs in exploring the strength that comes from working together in harmony.

The nursery is open for children 4 years and under.

Teen and pre-teen – We are currently in the process of designing a program for this age group. If you have ideas and suggestions we’d LOVE to hear from you! We’re ready for some out of the box thinking 😁.

Self-Awareness Class

Self-awareness is necessary for optimal balance and functioning in life. To be self-aware is to be in tune with the multi-dimensions of being.

In this 7 week series we will explore various systems and techniques for self-awareness. You will become more conscious of your attitudes, beliefs, and ways of being; symptoms of stress and imbalance; healthy responses to stress and imbalance; and how to integrate spiritual principles to maintain balance and honor all facets of their being. For those pursuing credentials through UWSI, this class is eligible for SEE credit.

Class cost is $75 for the entire series. Partial scholarships are available if cost is in your way – email Rev. Jane.

Member Appreciation

This week we’d like to celebrate so many in our community! All those who helped make a special service last Tuesday possible – Rev. Jane, Dave Finch, Donna Benjamin, Jenni Trumpa, and Kevin Kubota. Then this past Sunday we had an amazing Q&A service with Rev. Jane, Rev. Jim, and Rev. Tam. So many of our members had powerful shares and deep questions. It was very healing to be part of such a loving, compassionate, community. Let’s continue to shine beautiful light for each other.

Last weeks service

“Peace in the Face of Violence“

This was a powerful service with some very emotional shares. You can view it HERE along with all our other past services. There’s so much good stuff in our video library!
