Join us on Sunday, Oct. 27th at 10:30am as we welcome back the beloved Rev. Barbara Williams as our guest speaker at our Celebration Service. She will be bringing a heart-opening talk on living Unity Spiritual Principles in our daily lives.
"Welcome Everything. We like the familiar, we’d like certainly. We’d love to have our preferences met. In fact, most of us have been taught that getting what we want, and avoiding what we don’t is the way to assure our happiness. Inevitably, though, there are unexpected experiences in our lives…an unanticipated move, a job loss, a family member’s illness, the death of a beloved pet… that we want to push away with all our might. When faced with uncertainty, our first reaction is often resistance. We attempt to evict these difficult parts of our lives, as if they were unwanted house guests. Wonder if there is a different way. Join us Sunday and find out!"
