This week is what is known in Christianity as Holy Week. The week began with Jesus entering Jerusalem in what is now known as Palm Sunday and culminates with Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In Unity we celebrate the journey Jesus took to show us the way but more importantly we interpret holy week through the lens of our own spiritual journey.

         On Palm Sunday begins a time when we are at peace with ourselves and the world and make a decision to take the next step. WE know, intuitively, to take a step we must release old thoughts, behaviors, and ideas to allow the space for something new to emerge. Our Good Friday experience is the crossing out of old ideas and creating the consciousness for new ways of being to resurrect in and as us. To let go of the past can often times be frightening and even painful. We know, the greater the attachments the greater the fear and pain. But, we know this is only a temporary condition. We take the time to Sabbath and rest, the time in the tomb, and emerge a transformed person.

          Please join us Friday evening at 6:00 pm for a special Good Friday service where we will spiritually interpret the 7 last words of Jesus followed by communion and Easter Sunday where we will celebrate in word and song the resurrection. Rev Ray will be the speaker, Robbie Bartlett will be providing the special music, and Ginny First will lead the meditation.

          Don't forget, if you have not provided feedback on the new mission and vision there are forms at the back of the sanctuary. Your input is important as we resurrect into a new consciousness. In addition, a special thanks to everyone who contributed to the hug a bear project and everyone who distributed them. We have posted pictures on the website.
