You are cordially invited to join the Unity community in these activities and events.

Various Healing Modalities Offered - Second Monday's at 7:00 p.m.  This group is taking a summer break and will return in the Fall.

Noon Day Prayer Service - Every Thursday 12:15-12:45 p.m.- In Unity we believe in the power of prayer and the blessings it brings.  Join us in the Sanctuary as you take a break and breathe in the peace that prayer can bring.  We do a series of responsive readings, pray for our congregants, and then pray in silence.  Join us as often as you can.

Meditation Service has been suspended.   .


Men's Gathering, Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.   All men of Unity are invited to participate in a men's gathering facilitated by Rev. Russell Heiland. Together we are exploring the concepts presented by James Hollis in his book Under Saturn's Shadow, the Wounding and Healing of Men. Hollis says of this book:

In focusing on men’s issues, it is not my intention to minimize the wounds of women. We of the male gender owe a deep debt of gratitude to those women who have spoken out, not only to express their own pain within our sexist culture, but also to free men to be more fully themselves. Their cri de coeur has helped men look more consciously to their own wounding, and we are all better served as a result.  The example of women struggling to free themselves from the shadows of the collective gives courage and makes it necessary for men to do likewise. Unless men can emerge from darkness, we shall continue to wound women and each other, and the world can never be a safe or healthy place. This work we do, then, is not only for ourselves but also for those around us.

If you are a man who desires to know your wholeness and holiness more completely than ever before, make plans to join this gathering of men.  Join us as often as you can!
   

Cafe Lundi - Monday, August 4 at 7:00 p.m. - This Summer Unity is pleased to announce Cafe Lundi!  The Cafe will be open monthly and will feature a variety of artists and good food.  Tickets are $15 each or two for $25 and Children under 13 are $5.  This month Chris Foster will perform on guitar.  Dinner will be catered by Giorgio's Italian Restaurant and the menu includes:  Eggplant stuffed with Mushrooms and Spinach,  Eggplant stuffed with Sausage, Chicken Parmigiana, Angel Hair Pasta with Marinara Sauce, Tossed Salad, Cookie and a Beverage..  Reservations must be made by Friday, August 1 for this event.  Contact the church office at 763-5155 to make reservations.

Jesus for the Non-Religious, Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. - Jesus - the central figure in the Christian tradition, but what do we really know about him? How do we discern the facts from the myths from the Truth? How can the Christian families of faith differ so widely on their understanding of him? And is Jesus still relevant today?

Rev. Russell Heiland will be leading a group study of Jesus for the Non-Religious, the newest book by John Shelby Spong, former Episcopal Bishop of Newark (and North Carolina native), that will explore these questions and more. The text is available in Fellowship Hall.

Bishop Spong will be the keynote speaker at this year’s UMMAS retreat at the Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, NC in September. He’s a gifted speaker and engaging author, and once you read his book, you’ll definitely want to plan to attend the retreat. He mentions Unity in the forward of this book.

Jesus for the Non-Religious will not win converts to the traditional Christian perspective of him; rather, it is geared to engage your mind and your heart as you come to an understanding what it was about this 1st century Jewish man that has had such a profound effect on humankind. This work is a natural fit in your Unity library.
    

 

Improv, Thursday, August 14 at 7:00 p.m.  Do you like to have fun and laugh?  If so, this group is for you!  No experience is necessary and there's really nothing to learn.  We meet monthly and choose formats and themes randomly.  Everyone is welcome to join us!  Contact Annette Cook in the office for more information.

 

'Souper' Sunday, August 17 at 12:15 p.m. -  The third Sunday of the month is Unity’s ‘Souper’ Sunday.  We ask you to sign up to bring soup, bread or goodies to share.  These are good items to balance in your hand so you can wander around and enjoy conversations with friends, old and new.  We are always eager to taste a new recipe.  All soups are welcome!
 
A Course in Miracles teaches a thought system - a way of seeing and understanding - based on love and oneness with Spirit and with each other, as contrasted with the thought system the world teaches which is based on fear and separation.  The Course shows how our human (or ego) minds resist these ideas because of our attachment to our separate bodies and are, therefore, in competition with each other.  There are two groups meeting weekly:  Fridays at 11:00 a.m. and Sundays at 7:00 p.m.
