Keeping It Real Wednesday Evening Service

with William Gregory & Ezekiel Chaitanya

Wednesdays from 6:30 – 7:30 PM

A beautiful mid-week service. There will be a talk, meditation, and reflection.

Prosperity — The Wealth of Enough – This month we explore prosperity from a deeper, more grounded place. Instead of chasing more during the holidays, we’re stepping into the inner experience of enoughness—the quiet, spacious wealth that begins in the heart. Ezekiel opens the month by guiding us into prosperity as sufficiency, support, and being: the understanding that abundance expresses outwardly only after it is realized inwardly. Over the following weeks, we’ll move into the flow of circulation and finally into Unity’s core prosperity principles. Join us as we reconnect with the richness already present and open the channels for good to move through our lives.

Member Appreciation

This week we give our deep appreciation to the one and only Donna B! Donna has given so much of her time and talent to the Unity Community over the past few years and we just love the joy she brings to everything she does. We see her each week sharing her singing talents with SolShine. Maybe some of you have attended one of her poetry nights, or a Vision Board workshop where she’s inspired you to quiet your self critic and just have fun and see what bubbles up. Donna also leads the Sound Bath team, volunteers on our Financial Stewardship team and EarthCare, and organized the 3rd annual Thanksgiving Day Vegan Potluck. Woohoo – go Donna B! Where would we be without you Donna? You bring the fun and community to Unity. Thank you for all you do!
