Greetings!
Gratitude is in the air! It's been the topic of many conversations and Facebook postings throughout the month. It's fun to see and hear all that people (including children!) are feeling grateful for in their life.
Being in the energy of gratitude creates peace within us. Being grateful for that which we have and the good we experience in our life expands into more and more good.
"Gratitude opens the door to... the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the Universe. You open the door through gratitude." Deepak Chopra
Thanksgiving Eve is a very special time of the year when we come together as a spiritual community to individually and collectively give thanks for all the good in our life and in our church. Join us for our Thanksgiving Eve Communion and Candlelight service at 7 p.m. All are invited to participate in sacred communion, where we honor the Christ in every heart.
May you and those you love experience a Thanksgiving filled with connection and love.
This Thanksgiving we give thanks for you!
Abundant blessings,
Unity Church of Overland Park
