Exciting Announcement!

 

 

 

Exciting Announcement part one:

 

I bet you didn't know....

 

About five years ago Celebration met with Unity of Beaverton's Board on three separate occasions to explore the possibility of merging.  We had a wonderful connection but the timing wasn't right.  At that time they did not have a Senior Minister and were unclear of the future.  

   

Presently, as my time has been split between Celebration Church, Coexist Celebration and my brand new "job" as a writer with Hay House, I have remained open to Spirit, asking daily what is the highest and best for all concerned.  Many months ago now, as I was contemplating this very thing, out of the clear blue, I received a beautiful card, in the mail, an actual card from the now Senior Minister at Unity of Beaverton, Rev. Debbie Taylor.  She was writing to express her excitement and support of Coexist Celebration.  This became the beginnings of a Soul friendship between us.

 

Several months later the thought occurred to me, maybe now is the right time to consider merging.  

 

 

This time next year I will be very busy speaking, doing radio and TV interviews etc.  for my book.  So, after considering several possibilities I wrote Rev. Debbie an email to broach the subject.  We hadn't spoken for many weeks and yet, I swear to you, just seconds after I pressed send, my phone rang.   It was her.  I didn't think there was any  way she could have read the email that fast.  Well, she hadn't.  I just happened to have been on her mind at the exact same time I was writing her the
e-mail.  

Spirit has been moving in clear and wonderful ways.

 

Exciting announcement part two:

 

I am very excited to let you know that my friend and well-known musical genius, Michael Alan Harrison and I are teaming up to create a whole new music program as part of this merger.  I believe it will be more Spirit filled than ever.  Yes, The Holy Molys, and then some, will be "in the house." 

 

Rev. Debbie and I and many other guest speakers will be sharing the podium.

 

I hope you will be a part of this exciting, truly inspired "Celebration" of "Unity" beginning May 1st with a service entitled, "Easter, Part Two: Living the Spirit" in our new spiritual home with our growing spiritual family in Beaverton on the corner of 5th and Angel!  12650 S.W. 5th, Beaverton. 

But first, see you for our last service in our Wilsonville location on Easter!

 

Blessings 

 

Barry
