A faith that fulfills is an affirmative mental approach to Reality, and a willingness to move ahead to the harvest of good, regardless of our fears. This Sunday we will burst through our fears with profound faith!

Sunday School

We are happy to have our Sunday School program up and running!

Have you ever wondered how Harry Potter can help you awaken spiritually? Ever thought how this simple children's story can help you and your family understand Truth and Unity's basic principles? If you answered yes to these, then Lumindorf School for the Magical and Mystical is the place for you.

This class will explore the first four books in the Harry Potter series, illuminating the Truth found within them. We will read sections of the book, discuss the principles and how to apply them to our lives, and finish up with a creative experience to help express what was gained from the lesson. Lumindorf is designed for children between 5 and 11. Younger children will have supervised play but will not be expected to participate in the curriculum.

When we have children only in the preschool age group (3-5) in attendance, then we will use the preschool version of The Teachings of Jesus for Children. This developmentally appropriate curriculum is designed to provide stories experiences, and activities that help the children understand that they are loved just as they are; to explore Jesus as a human being and as a model for love and goodness; to help the children understand that they, too, have the spiritual potential to act in ways that bring out their best selves, and to help them develop their spiritual potential to express love and caring for others.

World Day of Prayer

World Day of Prayer is coming! The 24-hour Prayer Vigil begins at

8:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 7, and concludes Thursday evening,

September 8. Silent Unity will enfold more than 500,000 names from all over the

world in prayer during that time.

Our 2016 prayer affirmation is:

As I discover the power within,

I unleash my divine potential.

The power of knowing that God lives within us can change the world. Just

imagine if we lived every moment of our lives from our divine potential.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of World Day of Prayer. Watch short video below and this space for more information.

Inspiration from Unity

A Snapshot From the Past: The Birth of Unity

One hundred twenty-five years ago, Myrtle and Charles Fillmore published Modern Thought magazine and unknowingly birthed a worldwide spiritual movement. They adopted the growing city of Kansas City, Missouri, as their home. They embraced the purpose of encouraging spiritual progress.

In 1889, the middle-aged couple found a new sense of resolve. Myrtle had experienced a healing after being diagnosed with tuberculosis. Prayer was central to Myrtle's healing practice, directing life-affirming words to "every life-center" in her body. With daily meditation, Charles left behind the pain of a childhood hip injury. An increasing number of friends and acquaintances took notice.

The home life of the Fillmore family may have appeared chaotic as they moved into their fourth home in the city. Charles' real estate business had also moved four times, but his sales still provided income. At 44, Myrtle was five months pregnant. She gave birth to Royal, the couple's third child, on July 16. Charles' mother, Mary Georgiana Fillmore, cared for Lowell, 7, and Rickert, 5, and cooked for the family. Her devoted role allowed the couple time for spiritual pursuits. Together they launched a new and uncertain venture from their small real estate office downtown.

They called their 16-page magazine a "journal of progress," charging 10 cents an issue or one dollar for a year's subscription. They printed articles on mind and thought, the body and healing, spiritual growth, and happiness. They cultivated a community for "all who feel the bubbling up within them of the spirit of Universal Love." Charles and Myrtle were dedicated to sharing spiritual ideas that had transformed their lives. Now, 125 years later, Unity continues to share spiritual principles and inspire transformation with prayer support, spiritual education, publications, online resources, retreats, and wellness.

What goes out must come back. Unless the seed is sown it cannot bear fruit. There must be a planting time for every harvest. Who gives all receives all. Who refuses to give, limits the possibility of the greater good returning to him. Love and you will be loved. Extend joy and you will become more joyful. The ancient Talmud says, "God will doubly guide the already guided" and Jesus, the greatest of the great, said, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Luke 6:38) We do not give because God needs the gift but because the giving increases, broadens and deepens the life of the giver. Nor shall we give from the standpoint of duty. The universe refuses to bargain with us. It already has given us everything it has. But it also has provided that the gift of life can be received in its fullness only as it flows through us to the fullness of others. How wonderful is this exact balance which God and nature keep; how perfect is the law of God and how glorious the opportunity to join with the infinite Giver in the givingness of the self to the joy of life!
