Greetings!
This week we are reading chapters 6 & 7 from "Love for No Reason" as part of our fall faith book study series. In chapter 7 titled "Living with an Open Heart," author Marci Shimoff shares Melissa Etheridge's story of fearless love. Her story in the book ends with Melissa's words:
"Living the truth of who we are - beings of light and love, not of fear - comes down to a simple matter of commitment, of making the choice, each and every moment. As I say in my song "Fearless Love,"
I want to live my life Pursuing all my happiness I want a fearless love I won't settle for anything less. On Sunday we will be sharing about "Living with an Open Heart" as we dive into chapters 6 & 7. We welcome you and your friends to join us as you are. We look so forward to seeing you and celebrating God and life with you this Sunday!
Peace and richest blessings,
Unity Church of Overland Park
