2023 Sunday Services

Unity has as its foundational Truth that there is only One, "One Presence and One Power". This teaching is rooted and grounded in the Principle of non-duality. There are many teachers and traditions that express this principle in ways that can serve to strengthen and expand our understanding of Unity and the practice of its principles. Non-duality is not a philosophy or a religion, it is the experience of no separation between me and the Universe; me and God.

Studies in Non-Duality: Week 15 (Rev. Bill Williams, 4/12/23)

We begin our services each Sunday with a statement affirming the central tenet we live by as a Unity church and as students of its teachings. Our Statement of Being is: “There is only one Presence and one Power in the universe and in our lives, God, the Good, Omnipotence.” This Sunday we will begin a deeper dive into Unity’s core principle and how it is connected to living a Spirit-centered life. A sincere inquiry into this statement is sure to strengthen our understanding of the nature of the Substance of our lives, the Reality of who we are, and our connections with each other. Join us for a fascinating journey of discovery.

The One You Are (Rev. Bill Williams, 11/26/23)

There is only One Presence and One Power in the universe, and in my life, God, the Good.

We are continuing with a deeper dive into Unity’s Statement of Being that we affirm at the beginning of each Sunday’s service. This statement is not just another affirmation. It is a way to state the Principle from which all of our affirmations of Truth are derived.  Therefore, this statement is not an abstract concept or a philosophical idea, but the basis for harmonious and balanced living. Perhaps, even more than that, it is the guiding Principle to the realization of who we really are. Join us in this next step of spiritual discovery.

The One You Are: Part 2 (Rev. Bill Williams, 12/3/23)

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” Mark 10:18 (NKJV)

The ordinary experience of life is filled with ups and downs, with light and shadows. The dynamics of life is perceived through our senses and we can often be challenged by what the senses reveal as our current reality. It can be very difficult to experience all of life as good. How, then, are we to experience and practice the concept of the omnipresence of Good as stated in Unity’s foundational principle. This principle can be summed up as “There is only One Presence, we are one with the One Presence, and that One Presence is Good.” Join us as we continue on this inner journey of discovery and realization.

The One You Are: Part 3 (Rev. Bill Williams, 12/10/23)

The Christmas season touches each of us uniquely. The ways we are touched range from exuberant Joy to deep quiet reverence. How we are touched by, and experience, the holidays (Holy Days) informs our understanding of the Christmas story. Embedded in each of the various symbols, characters, and events depicted in the narrative are gifts to be opened in our awareness. It is up to each of us to recognize the value of our particular gift and how it affects our journey of birthing the Christ awareness. A singular force that the opening of each gift reveals is Gratitude. As we grow spiritually, we begin to recognize that Gratitude is not an emotion we experience from a gift we get, but rather the power to transform any condition, situation, circumstance, or event into a gift. This power can be called “Gratitudinal Awareness”. Let’s open this powerful gift together.

Gratitudinal Awareness (Rev. Bill Williams, 12/17/23)

Our regular 11:00 Sunday service will be transformed into our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service this year. Come and experience our unique version of Unity’s Candlelight Service in preparation for a joyous Christmas. The birth of Jesus as celebrated throughout Christendom points to the emergence of new Light in the heart of humanity. Each year we renew and grow our understanding of the impact this Light has in each individual’s spiritual journey. Unity’s founder, Charles Fillmore, shared his understanding of the qualities or powers in each of us to be realized or brought to Light as we awaken to our true nature, the Christ. This Sunday we will symbolically bring the Light to each of our primary spiritual powers as we celebrate our Candlelight Service. Join us in Holy Company as we celebrate this Christmas together.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (Rev. Bill Williams, 12/24/23)

You can experience our traditional New Year’s Eve Burning Bowl and White Stone Ceremony this year as part of the 11:00 service. Unity does not have many rituals, but these two ceremonies are wonderful activities to clear out the residue from the year that’s now coming to a close, and to help us open our minds and hearts for spiritual growth in the upcoming year. Join us Sunday morning and bring a friend to this once-a-year experience of resetting our intentions inward and upward.

New Year's Eve Burning Bowl & White Stone Ceremony (Rev. Bill Williams, 12/31/23)

Sunday Message by Rev. Bill Williams, December 31, 2017:  What if everything in your life were new? What would your life experience be like? Is there a new way of seeing and experiencing the limits, challenges, and obstacles that seem to be controlling how life unfolds? Let's explore what new beginnings really mean.
