During our The Wisdom We Carry series, we’ve been diving into the impact and importance of our ancestors, which we typically think of as coming before us. In the final week of our series, Rev. Aliza connects us with their impact on our lives—how they have created (or helped to create) our current lives—and explores the question: what if we also have “future ancestors”, what might that look like or mean?

Since it’s also the Sunday before Halloween, we’ll be exploring the masks we wear, where they come from, and what happens when we remove them. For a fun touch, you're invited to wear a costume to service!

In the third week of our The Wisdom We Carry series, we're focusing on Unity co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore. Myrtle is considered the Mother of Unity, in essence one of our spiritual ancestors.

Along with Rev. Aliza (live and in-person), discover little known facts about Myrtle and her own ancestral lineage beyond the physical. Who and what energies did she embody and what new insights can we glean from another look at her, the heart of the Unity movement? Join us to explore Myrtle’s spiritual legacy and discover Unity’s ancestral roots.

The autumn season invites deeper reflection and nudges us to pause and honor those who came before us. With our The Wisdom We Carry series, we celebrate our ancestors, mentors, and spiritual teachers whose love and wisdom still shape our lives today.

In the second week of our series, Dr. Nancy Little, LUT guides us in exploring how the light of past generations continues to shine through us. In turn, we then become light bearers for future generations. Together we will reflect, remember, and celebrate the eternal flame of Spirit that connects us all.

Join us for our next series, Wisdom We Carry: Honoring Our Ancestors, Embracing Our Future, a transformative four-week series exploring the wisdom, blessings, and guidance passed down through our ancestors.

In our first week, Rev. Dr. Ahriana Platten invites us to step across the threshold into a conversation about ancestry, spirit, and the hidden wisdom. 

Modern science calls it epigenetics—the way our ancestors’ experiences live on in our DNA. Ancient traditions call it the living memory of the soul. 

Together, we’ll explore how the joys and wounds of those who came before us still ripple through our choices today, and how conscious prayer and loving attention can bring healing not only to our lineage but to our own hearts. 

Come join us as we honor those who walked before us and open to the blessings they have placed in our bones.

What if letting go isn’t loss — but preparation for new life?

In the final week of our Powerfully You series, join Dr. Nancy Little to explore two spiritual powers that work together:

🌬 Elimination – the power to release what no longer serves; and
🌟 Life – the Divine energy of renewal and vitality within.

Through touching metaphors, practical tools, and sacred reflection, Dr. Nancy will invite us to clear space—in heart, mind, and spirit—so that life can move through us more freely and joyfully.

Join us for this energizing message of release, renewal, and the power of spiritual breath!

🧩 Order isn’t about control — it’s about alignment.
🔥 Zeal isn’t about hype — it’s about sacred enthusiasm.

When these two powers move together, life becomes an inspired dance of timing, passion, and divine orchestration.

This week in our Powerfully You series, Rev. Aliza uncovers the vibrant interplay of Order and Zeal, and how these energies help us build momentum, embrace change, and live with joy.

Join us this Sunday at 1 PM to step into your divine flow!

What is yours to know, and what is yours to choose? Understanding reveals spiritual truth; Will empowers us to align with it.

This week in our Powerfully You series, Rev. Aliza Bloom Robinson (live and in-person!) guides us in illuminating the path from inner clarity to conscious choice—bridging the gap between divine insight and empowered action.

Come ready to claim clarity, choose boldly, and activate your Power!

You are a creator. Through your words and your inner visions, you shape your experience.

This week in our Powerfully You series, we explore the dynamic duo of Power and Imagination — the voice of divine authority and the visionary capacity of the soul. Join us as Rev. Aliza invites us to learn how to speak with intention, see beyond limitation, and activate your co-creative genius.

For a fun touch, wear purple for Power or light blue for Imagination (or both!).

How do we move forward when the path ahead is uncertain? What does it mean to stay grounded and inspired at the same time?

This week in our Powerfully You series, we welcome Dr. Nancy Little, PhD, LPC, for a powerful and uplifting message that delves into the sacred dance between two spiritual powers: 
🌟 Faith to see what’s possible; and
🌳 Strength to stay centered through it all.

Together, we’ll explore how faith and strength work in tandem to guide us through life’s uncertainties with grace, courage, and clarity. Come as you are—grounded or seeking, steady or shaken. There’s a place for you here.

Wisdom discerns, Love harmonizes. Together, they form a sacred compass that guides your life from the inside out.

This week in our Powerfully You series, Rev. Aliza invites us to explore how to cultivate spiritual insight through Wisdom and lead with the heart through Love—not as emotional reactions, but as spiritual superpowers that bring healing, clarity, and connection.

There is a spiritual power center within you—not just one, but twelve. Each holds a frequency of divine potential, ready to be switched on.

We begin our Powerfully You message series with an exploration, lead by Rev. Aliza (live in-person!), through Unity’s framework of the Twelve Powers. In a blend of metaphysical insight and modern resonance—from Fillmore’s spiritual lineage to the quantum field—together we'll learn what the Twelve Powers are, why they matter now more than ever, and how you can use them to awaken a more vibrant, empowered, and purpose-aligned life.

Your divine circuitry is calling. Join us this Sunday at 1 PM to activate it!

This Sunday, we’re doing something a little different! When you walk into the sanctuary, you’ll notice that the chairs are arranged in small groups. Choose which group you’d like to be a part of because during our service, we’ll spend some time within these groups in meaningful connection and heartfelt reflection, before we move to the social hall for our monthly potluck. Join us for a unique Sunday experience of deep connection and strengthening relationships!

If you’re unable to join us in-person, please share your thoughts & ideas via our online form.

What happens when we're willing to leave behind what we know, in order to grow? In this exploration inspired by Eat Pray Love, we’ll journey beyond borders—through Italy, India, and Bali—and into the deeper terrain of the heart.

Based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling memoir and its 2010 film adaptation, Eat Pray Love invites us to leave behind the lives we’ve outgrown and follow the quiet pull of Spirit. It’s a story of grief, awakening, and the sacred power of saying “yes” to the call of transformation. Along the way, we encounter the healing of pleasure, the discipline of devotion, and the courage it takes to live life with an open heart.

Gretchel Johnson joins us in person for the final installment of our Metaphysics at the Movies series. Come explore what it means to wander, to wonder, and to wake up to your truest self.

What if the Universe is always playing a song just for you — and all you have to do is listen? In this metaphysical exploration of the 2007 film August Rush, we’ll dive into the power of inner guidance, divine timing, and the sacred sound of connection that draws us home.

August Rush follows a musically gifted orphan named Evan who believes he can find his birth parents through the music he hears and creates. As he navigates life on the streets of New York City, he adopts the name August Rush and catches the attention of a charismatic but controlling mentor. Meanwhile, his parents—an Irish singer and a cellist—are unknowingly being drawn back together by the music that connects them all.

Rev. Aliza joins us live and in-person as we continue our "Metaphysics at the Movies" series with August Rush. Come tune into the music of Spirit and discover how your soul’s symphony is always unfolding in perfect harmony!

What if the point of life isn’t to achieve something grand—but to feel the breeze, taste the pizza, and witness a falling leaf with awe? The Disney/Pixar movie, Soul, gently unravels our obsession with purpose and invites us into the wonder of right now.

The story follows Joe, a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn't quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz. But when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul.

As we continue through our “Metaphysics at the Movies” series, we invite you, guided by Rev. Aliza connecting virtually, to explore this beautiful film through the lens of spiritual awakening and rediscover the magic in ordinary moments. 

To kick off our "Metaphysics at the Movies" series, we step into a story—a story about courage, imagination, and the unseen potential within each of us—with a message entitled "Launching into Possibility." After viewing the 1999 film October Sky on Friday evening at 6 PM in the sanctuary, we will reconnect on Sunday at 1 PM to delve more deeply into the key spiritual takeaways from the movie, based on the true story of Homer Hickam.

Set in a coal-mining town in West Virginia in the 1950s, Homer lived the life of a coal miner’s son. As a teenager, others expected him to follow his father into the mines. Then Homer saw the Russian satellite, Sputnik, streak across the October sky, and something stirred in him. A vision. A call.

Have you ever had a dream or a calling that seemed completely out of reach—a longing that didn’t match your current reality? Join Dr. Nancy Little to explore how Spirit speaks through that longing. She will guide us to consider how to say “yes” to that inner call—and launch into new possibility.

It’s easier to know spiritual truth than living it—that’s the real challenge.

As we close our deep dive into Unity’s Five Principles, Rev. Kelly Isola brings us to the boldest invitation yet: Unity Principle #5.

“Through feelings, thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.”

This final principle demands more than belief—it calls us to embody Truth moment to moment, especially when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or countercultural.

Will you let your life become a living prayer? Will you risk living what you say you believe?

Join us this Sunday and find out!

In the fourth of our five-week talk series on Unity’s Five Principles, we quiet the noise and turn inward to consider Unity Principle #4:

"Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use."

It is through prayer and meditation that we make conscious contact with God/Spirit/Source. Unity teaches that prayer is talking with God, meditation is listening. We also teach that every thought is a prayer. So what are you thinking? Worry, fear, anxiety all become the prayers you are praying, even, or especially, if it is unconscious. Rev. Aliza joins us in person to help us refresh our prayer and meditation practice.
