The Power of Staying Connected!

This week, our Unity Small Group Ministry delivered many beautiful Christmas gifts to a local family in need. We greatly appreciate your participation in our school district's "Adopt A Family" program." We may be a small group, but together we do make a difference in our community! 🧡
We are planning our next Study Group, and request your input on topics of interest to you! Please share your suggestions with us via email or phone call. Thank you in advance for your input! (Email is in top box of newsletter.)
The A Course in Miracles study group will meet this Thursday, Dec. 16, at

The purpose of our Small Group Ministry is to join together in study, prayer, and meditation as we grow in greater spiritual understanding and serve our community.
Know that we will continue to keep you informed each week via this newsletter, Facebook and our website. We are excited to have you join us on this journey!
Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. You are welcome here!

Topic: A Meaningful Journey Through the Advent Season
We celebrate Advent as a time of spiritual preparation for the birth of the Christ. Unity founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore understood Christmas as a season of great joy and expectancy but also viewed it as a time for inner celebration when the Christ is born in human hearts. "It does not belong to the past; it is a vital, living, present Truth. The bringing forth of the Christ child is not a work that is finished in Bethlehem. It is taking place in our midst every day. It is this we celebrate." ~Published in the December 1919 issue of Unity Magazine
This year Advent began November 28th, and you are invited to participate in a spiritual study and dialog in preparation for Christmas. Zoom link below.
If one of the daily readings really resonates with you, feel free to bring it up for discussion.
The booklet and our guide, A Christmas to Remember, ​​is available for download or you may request a hard copy. It includes the 12 Days of Christmas to follow Christmas Day. We hope you will join us Zoom-style!

– J. R. Miller

My prayer for you this Christmas
May there always be room in your heart
for divinity to find a birthing place.
May you be holy as the angels were,
faithful as the shepherds were,
humble as the cattle were,
wise as the Wise Men were.
May you have the compassion Mary had
and the understanding Joseph had,
and may the blessing of the Christ child be yours,
not because of His birthnight long ago,
but because His love is born in you today!
by James D Freeman

Unity's Five Basic Principles
We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation.
The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
- There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
- Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
- We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind.
- Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
- Through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.
