Sunday Service: August 24th at 10:00 AM
The Tao of Healing and Health
with Rev. Jim Pasmore
In this talk Jim will present a review of healing practices through the ages from Shaman’s of 30,000 years ago to Unity and in between. We will see that perennial wisdom has guided much of the more recent successful practices. Some surprising techniques were employed by the father of New Thought, Pinneas Quimby, that healed 10,000 folks in New England that conventional medicine of the day had given up on. Jim will share the fundamental basis of all healing: “Spirit is the life, mind is the builder and body is the result.” He will also share some of his personal experiences with healing and health.
๐ฝ๏ธ Bring a favorite snack to share with the community after service! Weโll provide the coffee and tea โ๏ธ.
We always have a beautiful potluck of munchies to enjoy after service, so we hope you have time to stay, connect, and enjoy some coffee and snacks.
๐ Childcare and activities are available for children 0 through 12 years.
This monthโs topic is HEALTH!
โญ๏ธ Note to parents – Summer is here, so be sure your kiddos bring a water bottle filled with something cool to drink.

NEW OFFERING – Sunday Talkabout – after service
We have just started a new offering every Sunday, following our Celebration Service! It’s called Talkabout, and it is an opportunity for us to gather together in small groups and talk about the talk we just heard! The circle will be facilitated by one of our community leaders and this is your chance to share your thoughts and feelings and to form deeper connections with fellow community members. Our Sunday speaker will generally participate as well, so that you can ask them more questions about their talk, or share what resonated with you.
Here are the details: It starts 20 minutes after the service ends, so you’ll have time to grab some food in the lobby, and the Talkabout circle will last 30 to 45 minutes.
Sacred Sound Sundays
Sundays from 6:00 to 7:15 PM

Understanding Our Neighbor as Ourselves: Intro to Spiral Dynamics
Tuesday, September 2nd and 9th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM with Rev. Dr. Cari Bourette – in person and on Zoom.
Why are some so certain God is a Being in the sky and others know a Divine Presence found within? Why do some seem so violent and exclusionist and others so concerned with including everyone? There are different sets of values that accompany each level of consciousness on our evolutionary journey. This introductory class on Spiral Dynamics will assist you in understanding these differences and help you to better empathize and communicate with people that have another perspective on what’s important than what’s so obviously true for you. Cost for Unity members is just $45, non-members $75.
