From the desk of Reverend Suzanne
I have never ... never returned from a
Unity event with anything less than uncontained
joy! I returned from our regional
meeting with indeed my cup overflowing
again ... still ... yet.
What a marvelous time to be in Unity
when our teachings are being used and
recognized as the new paradigm for spiritual
, social, and political interaction!
We’ve even been on Oprah! It seems that
Unity minister Eric Butterworth’s Discover
the Power Within You book was a
fundamental reading for Oprah on her
spiritual path. She is in fact going to
write the forward in the soon to be Unity
published 40th anniversary edition.
Great things are happening in our world
and we are in the midst of it.
Last week I mentioned to our Sunday
congregation that Unity has a “Look for
the Good” website where we are asking
people to look for the good news that is
being shared in this election year. To
look to the positive of what can happen
with the talent and expertise we have to
call upon at the national leadership level.
And closer to home, James Trapp our
CEO of Unity Churches International
shared with us that Enlightened Leadership
that of the minister, board and key
volunteers are important to a healthy
ministry. The continued positive consciousness
of those who take classes and
partake of activities also contributes to
the overall good health of a ministry.
As we continue to “find our voice”
through our shared experiences our ministry
comes forth from who we are as a
diverse growing spiritual community.
Reverend Trapp educated, inspired, listened
and reported to us what it means
and where we are going as the fastest
growing spiritual community on the
planet making a transformational difference
in peoples lives!
It’s an exciting adventure full of dreams,
goals, and plans. Building thriving spiritual
communities ... that is what Unity is
up to.
We here at Unity of Yucaipa are right in
step with this onward practical, positive,
Christianity. Our board has meet and
with your wish list input and with ideas
circulated around your most recent minister
search we have articulated 6 month
1 year and 3 year goals that we will share
at our May 11th church chat.
Join us at the chat to celebrate where we
are going as a spiritual community and
all those lives we will effect with our
positive, practical, progressive approach
to Christianity!
With love, light, and excitement about who we are!
Reverend Suzanne
