Grace and Healing

Much of our spiritual growth is about identifying that which is unhealed or unresolved in us.  Grace is the great healer that helps us through our "blocks" in consciousness and lifts us to a higher understanding and freedom.  Also, come learn the "Christ Prayer" (it might not be what you think!), an easy method for remembering how healing works.

The Gift of Grace

The question of Grace is one that is frequently asked in classes and spiritual counseling.  In this first week of exploring Grace, we will define it, see how it works in our lives according to spiritual law, and begin to accept it through prayer and the reshaping of our thoughts.  Grace is a gift!  You will find the lessons this month uplifting and hopeful.  

IYOU Sunday Service

Four local International Youth of Unity (IYOU) students share their experience of deepening their relationship with the 12 Powers of Unity.

Come On In, The Water Is Fine!

Many of us have heard the expression, "don't push the river."  We have exhorted each other and ourselves to "go with the flow."  Life can be refreshing and relaxing when we choose to surrender with gratitude to "what is."  

Easy Like Sunday Morning

You know how good it feels to come together on Sunday to "play" with your spiritual community.  Do you ever feel like you lose that sense of joy and balance as the week progresses?  There are a few simple things we can do to prolong the ease and depth of Sunday mornings and carry it through our days. 

Free and Unlimited

We're chillin' out with more mindful living this summer, right?  So, how often are we pondering the unlimited potential we possess?  And, do we really believe we're free to explore and express it?  Associate Spiritual Leader Kit Holmes lit the fuse this week with music and message.  

Goovin' On a Sunday Afternoon

Summer comes in fast and hot here in Central Texas.  Let's adapt ourselves to the conditions by slowing down for some reflection, taking life a little easier, and focusing on the simple pleasures of mindful living.  Wear you best comfy groovin' clothes - sundresses, Hawaiian shirts, summer hats (may have to be removed for your neighbor behind you!), and flip-flops.  Some might call it Casual Sunday, but lets call it Groovin' Sunday!

Home Again

As we settle into our Divine Purpose and begin to "wear" it comfortably and with confidence, the sanctuary of our heart becomes our resting place.  It is here that we prepare ourselves for each day and for the next chapter in our unfolding!

Divine Triumphs

Sometimes spiritual headway comes to us effortlessly; sometimes we work deeply and diligently to overcome our previous conditioning to experience spiritual bliss.  It's important to acknowledge and appreciate our small and larger triumphs, as gratitude is essential to the journey.

The Sacred Warrior

As we continue to seek ways to express our purpose in life, we find that we have an inner strength that was previously unknown to us.  The Sacred Warrior is not fighting AGAINST something; the Warrior in us is actively advocating for our highest expression.  

Angels and Roadblocks

Building upon last Sunday's lesson on "Divine Purpose," we begin our journey of putting our purpose into action.  Naturally, the first things we might encounter are seeming obstacles (within and without) that would seem to thwart us!  But along with them, we find unexpected assistance and blessings that smooth our path.  

Fourth Law of Prosperity: Divine Purpose

It's possible that you are already living your Divine Purpose - Yay!!  But just in case you aren't sure, or if you need more depth and satisfaction in your daily life, we'll explore a few steps to take you to a higher experience of living.

Third Law of Prosperity: Forgiveness

Keeping "our side of the street clean" is essential to our spiritual  health.  And forgiveness is not about the other person as much as it is about us.  Let's let go of a few burdens.

Second Law of Prosperity: Visioning

When we stop seeking the next best thing for our lives, we stop living.  No matter how large or small the goal or vision, an infusion of Divine Inspiration and faith guarantees forward movement in our spiritual lives.

Begin With Prayer

The Second Half of Life

Rev. Jill Carey talks about how we spend the first half of life finding and identifying who we are, what our place is in the world.  Eventually, some of our most precious ideas and the thoughts about who we are begin to break down.  We face struggles and suffering, and we have to learn healthy self-criticism.

The New Year: A Fine Balance
