God Acceptance at Hand (Part I)
How to lean into God Acceptance during Lenten season
In Unity, we believe that Lent is not just about giving something up, if at all, but, more importantly, about picking up something new. This spiritually focused season is the perfect opportunity to lean into exploring something many of us may have never considered ourselves worthy—to receive God Acceptance.
This Sunday, Rev. Jean-Marie will compare and contrast the concept of God Acceptance from various perspectives applied to an everyday setting as an inspiration to formulate a personal spiritual practice intended to find more acceptance in life, whether it be by others or ourselves.
Join us, now at 1 PM CT, for a heartfelt lesson on acceptance accompanied by equally moving music at our new home.

Metaphysics
belief†—An inner acceptance of an idea as true. Belief is closely related to faith. Belief functions both consciously and subconsciously. Many false individual and race beliefs are very active below the conscious level. To erase these hidden error beliefs, a comprehensive program of denial is necessary.
†Revealing Word (Charles Fillmore)
