Greetings!

  

Our Christmas journey has begun!  

 

Each Sunday of Advent we are following the journey of the wise men from the East who when in search for the Christ Child. This 4-part story represents our quest to reawaken to the Christ in us, to search again and rediscover the Truth that is always within us.   

 

This Sunday the wise men continue onward in their own quest. If you missed week one of the journey, watch it here, or visit our Facebook page.

  

Christmas is always a special time at Unity Church of Overland Park. We want you to know you are welcome home to Unity this Christmas season. 


Blessings of peace,
Unity Church of Overland Park
