Welcome Words
Laura Park, Acting Director of Membership and Hospitality
The journey to membership at Unity Church is so very individual. Some people know within two weeks that Unity Church is the right place to develop their spiritual practice within, among, and beyond, and they commit easily to that work and to the support of the institution that helps them practice. Other people support the institution but take 40 years to take the final step of signing the membership book. Still others orbit the church at a distance until something pushes them closer or farther away.
If you’re in the waiting time before the membership commitment, what could make that waiting fruitful for you? What’s the version of watchful waiting, of preparation, of seeing and listening that will help you discern what relationship with the church will help you grow in the ways your heart seeks? In addition to the classes at right, you may want to consider joining the Wellspring spiritual development class I’ll be leading with congregant Susan Huehn, beginning in January. This class invites you into a year of engagement with a five-spoke model of spiritual deepening: daily spiritual practice, regular meetings of the Wellspring group, engagement with Unitarian Universalist history and theology, meeting monthly with a one-on-one spiritual director, and discerning our unique call in life. Click here for more details, and email Martha Tilton at martha@unityunitarian.org with your interest in participating.
Whatever you’re working to be hospitable to in your own life, we’re so glad you’re here, whether from near or far in these times of online ministry. We hope to be a place where you can deepen your connection to your guides from beyond. My virtual door is always open for conversation, information, and exploration of your pathway into deeper meaning in our religious community. The best way to contact me right now is email, if possible, laura@unityunitarian.org. Or call the church office and leave a message: 651-228-1456 x110. I look forward to getting to know you!
