Unity Church-Unitarian

Welcome!

Unity Church-Unitarian is a vibrant intergenerational congregation grounded in the history and heritage of liberal religion. Our shared ministry enlists the whole church family in living out the values we proclaim. At home, at church, and in the world, we strive to usher in the reign of mutual respect. The mission of Unity Church is to engage people in a free and inclusive religious community that encourages lives of integrity, service and joy.

Consider Your Spiritual Growth & Maturity --
and Help Unity Church Too

Our mission at Unity Church-Unitarian is to encourage people to live a loving life of integrity, service and joy. If we’re living into that mission, we experience spiritual transformation, develop spiritual maturity. But, how do we know we’re developing spiritual maturity? What does spiritual maturity look like? We’re piloting a tool to help us find out. This is potentially groundbreaking work that could build an instrument that would be useful to congregations around the country, while offering you insight into where you are on your own journey to spiritual maturity. This survey is being done in place of the annual congregational survey for 2013. Please participate in the pilot by using our on-line tool at
http://bit.ly/tipilot or pick up a paper copy of the questions in the Parish Hall Sundays from now until June 30. For more information about the tool and how and why we developed it, see the upcoming article in the June/July newsletter. Thank you!

BBQ Lunch Celebrating Kerri Meyer

Everyone is invited to a BBQ lunch, following the service on Sunday, June 2, celebrating the ministry of Kerri Meyer.

Volunteers will set up the buffet during the service. Don’t forget a picnic blanket! We hope you will join us!

Habitat for Humanity

Unity Church volunteers will again assist Habitat For Humanity this summer in combination with other area churches under the heading of Faith Builders.

Please visit the Affordable Housing table in the Parish Hall after services for more information or to sign up. Sign up is also available online at http://bit.ly/unityhabitat or by contacting Chuck Griggs at griggscb@msn.com. You may volunteer one day or multiple. We look forward to your help in providing for the housing needs in the metro area.
