This Sunday: Sean Schrader - Adaptability |
|
Highlights:
From lyrics to “Here and Now” by Jana Stanfield and Paul Dolman:
It always seems there’s so much space between,
Where I am and where I’d like to be,
And yet when I stop to look around at the good life I have found,
I can’t help but see. I have all that I need.
Here and now, I have all that I need, here and now.
I’m always running half a step behind, the image of my life that’s in my mind, |
| And yet when I let myself slow down, I see beauty all around,
And I’m reminded once again, I have all that I need.
Here and now, this is where I’m meant to be.
And somehow, tomorrow, come what may,
I will be okay as I learn to love, here and now.

“And all the people shall answer, ‘Amen!’” (Deut 27:5).
God is the Answer to whatever the question may be. |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

Wednesday Evening Spiritual Treatment |
|
Wednesdays
7:00-7:30 PM
Although Myrtle Fillmore passed to the invisible side of life some ninety-four years ago, the memories of her loving presence still inspire Unity students. Along with her husband, Charles, Myrtle Fillmore co-founded the Unity movement from the wealth of spiritual thoughts that radiated from "Mama Myrtle" (the name her co-workers lovingly called her), and continue to bless countless people, as she proved the universal Truth principles in her life and ministry of love.
Throughout the month of November, our prayer services at UCC are based on her writings pertaining to prosperity, harmony, and Thanksgiving in How to Let God Help You (published in 1956, compiled from her class notes in 1883 under the guidance of Emma Curtis Hopkins, who also inspired Emmet Fox along with the founders of Divine Science, Religious Science, the Homes of Truth movement by Annie Rix Militz (who inspired our Sr. Minister's first minister at the St . Louis Truth Center in the late 1940's, Dr. Emil C. Hartmann) and thousands of others, then and now.
We give thanks for Unity in this thanksgiving season! |

"Adaptability, when viewed in the right perspective, allows for unforeseen challenges in pursuit of some divine goal to reorient one's perspective, and explore new pathways to achieving the same impactful result." – Sean Schrader
“Everything is right here, all that ever was or ever could be, simply waiting to be brought into manifestation ....”
“Everything is right here ... waiting for our acceptance in faith, believing.”
“The only limitation to the fulfilment of our desires and the answer to our prayers lies in the willingness to receive and express that which God has already prepared for us.”
“As we hold fast to the Truth, in prayer, in faith, as we love it, and live it, we find our consciousness of good enlarged, right decisions being made, our days big with blessings, our steps safe and secure, and our lives strong and beautiful.” – Charles Fillmore, Cofounder of the Unity Movement |
