Greetings!
Fall faith 2012 is kicking off on September 30! Our series, "Love for No Reason", is a 6-week book study where you have the opportunity to gather in small group circles to study the principles in the book taught on Sunday mornings. Did you get your study book yet? It's now available in our bookstore. "Love for No Reason" by Marci Shimoff is divided into three parts to support you in living from and experiencing Higher Love! - Part 1 lays out a new paradigm for love. Learn about the "love set point" and complete a self-assessment to see who much Love for No Reason you're already experiencing in your life.
- Part 2 is the how-to of Love for No Reason
- Part 3 includes guidelines for keeping Higher Love alive in your everyday life, along with a resource section.
We'll be covering highlights from each part on Sunday mornings and in our Fall Faith study circles. We hope you'll join us this year as we take a deep dive together into love for no reason. Learn more about fall faith 2012 below or online.
Peace and abundant blessings,
Unity Church of Overland Park

Thoughts from Reverend Patricia - "How Do I Love Thee?"
|  |
 I've been writing in my gratitude journal lately. So many of my entries are about the people I love and how they have impacted my life. Today, I wondered - how would they feel if they could read what I've written about them in my journal? Do they know how deeply I have been affected by them? I'm reminded of a friend of mine who dearly loved his Texas hill country ranch. more |
