Teri Wilder spent almost 11 years on the air in Kansas City radio (Oldies 95, 101 The Fox and Star 102). She then left   radio and began to pursue her first love - music - full-time, coming out with her first self-titled CD in 2002. In 2005, she began writing specifically for the New Thought churches where she'd been singing for a decade, including UCOP. From her current home in San Diego, she continues to write music for churches, retreats, seminars and conferences. Her passion for sound healing brought her to the gong, which has transformed her life with a new depth of vibrational experiences. Now a Gong Master, in 2013 she recorded Mystical Gong Meditations, a CD of 4 gong-only meditations. Never one to sit still, Teri travels the country singing at churches, giving keynote concerts, presenting play-shops and gong meditations and has also created a line of inspirational jewelry called "Wilder Things" (a.k.a., "Spiritual Bling"), available at her live performances. Her dedication to raising the vibration of the planet is a theme running through all she chooses to pursue. Her infectiously positive personality and quick wit will hold your attention and open your heart.

As we move into the Fall season, we will want to resonate with the positive qualities of that season - reaping the benefits of the harvest planted in the other seasons. Positive qualities of this season include nurturance, acceptance, groundedness and abundance. When we resonate with these qualities and not our problems, we live our lives with greater joy and happiness. When we are out of sync with this element we may find ourselves expressing and living from a negative state of mind and missing out on the abundance of what is there for us. Resonance Repatterning is a system that will allow us to realign ourselves so we can fully enjoy the positive qualities of this Fall season.

This class has been designed for those who are newer to Unity and/or Unity Church of Overland Park. The materials presented will offer the history of Unity and UCOP. In addition, participants will learn about various ministry staff members and their individual roles and responsibilities at the church. Participants will be provided information pertaining to volunteer teams, outreach programs and affinity groups. The class will offer opportunities for attendees to uncover and begin offering their gifts through stepping into service for the ministry in some way. As with all classes, participants will begin to build relationships and community with one another.

Rachel Asbury is the Volunteer Coordinator here at UCOP. Rev. Jan Stromseth is our Associate Minister of Congregational Care.

This meditation provides the opportunity to go into a deep, deep experience of the Presence. Meditation does wonderful things to our human bodies, giving them time to revitalize and heal themselves. At the same time, our souls experience their real, true selves, going to the place inside that is timeless and eternal. After the meditation, there will be a sacred prayer circle to share and honor one another's prayer intentions. You'll experience such serenity you'll want it to go on forever.

In August of 2013, Anne and her husband David, teamed up with stellar keyboardist, Alex Cordero, to lead the Wednesday Evening Love Lift (the W.E.L.L.) at Unity Temple, in the Charles Fillmore Chapel. Early this year, they added a monthly healing service to their mid-week services and now consider it to be the heart of their ministry. Anne leads the service with an insightful message and meditation while David and Alex create a transformational music experience.  Anne, a third year ministerial student at Unity Institute and Seminary, was a television producer for over 15 years before answering her call to ministry. David, a veteran actor, is best known for his portrayal of the lovable Sgt. Parker Williams on the groundbreaking TV series "In the Heat of the Night." In fact, their twenty-one year romance began while working on this show together!

This class has been designed for those who desire a basic understanding of Unity's teachings and principles. Each of the five basic teachings will be reviewed, along with a listing of 'identity statements' that further expound upon what is meant by the teachings and how they are expressed by Unity as a spiritual movement. Focused attention will be given to prayer and meditation and the positive, affirming ways in which they are taught and utilized by Unity.

Join us as we explore the spiritual principles that support the expression of health and wholeness in our minds, bodies and affairs. We will be working with Myrtle and Charles Fillmore's interpretation of how Jesus used and demonstrated those principles in his own life. Such principles will be presented to support participants in developing a practical understanding of Myrtle and Charles' theology as heart-centered metaphysicians. The goal will be that through the development of such practical understanding, participants will be inspired to also become heart-centered metaphysicians in their own lives. We also expect them to develop a "tool kit" for using healing principles in their daily lives and in supporting other people in their own healing process.

SoulCollage® is a spiritual process that supports the journey through life by using images to express both the wisdom and the shadow-side of one's soul. This is a time to gather together and make SoulCollage® cards. There will be a meditation, followed by card-making time and then time to "read" our cards as a group. All supplies will be provided for you, but you may bring special magazines if you would like. Also bring any cards you have already made. If you would like to purchase additional card blanks, they are available at the UCOP bookstore. You don't need any artistic ability; the cards are made with simple cutting and pasting skills. Everything you need is already within you, waiting to be discovered through this simple "soul-tending" process. If this is your first SoulCollage® experience, contact Barbara ahead of time and plan to arrive at 5:15pm.  

Rev. Barbara is a certified SoulCollage® Facilitator and has trained with Seena Frost, the originator of the process. She is an ordained Unity minister and a master teacher who brings creativity, heart and soul to life. Her passion is to guide individuals and small groups through discovery processes that lead to greater self-awareness, providing tools that deepen students' intuition, insight, relationships and experiences.   You can contact her at www.YourSoulWorks.com.

Who are you? What is your purpose? How do you spot trouble? Your ability to answer these questions is your pathway to peace and joy! Knowing you are Spirit incarnate is your statement of I Am presence, knowing you are inherently good. Join Cathy Combs for this special introduction session as she helps you begin to unravel your own answers to these powerful questions.
