"A Walk Through Holy Week" 

What beautiful gifts the week leading up to Easter Morning has to give us!  From Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday to the dramatic events of Good Friday, there are important lessons for us to consider.

As a time of Preparation for Easter and the Resurrection, let's make this "walk" together, supporting each other as we go.

See you on the walk!

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” 
~Matthew 18:20

"HEART THOUGHTS"

❤with Rev. Jesse❤
Beloved Unity Community,

I greet you in the tradition of "Ohana", or family, as Rev. James has taught us from the Hawaiian teachings. I just love the feel of that! When I visited Hawaii several years ago, I got to experience that feeling from everyone that I interacted with. It was so loving and kind and palpable from everyone. I wonder if we can open to bringing that even more "Ohana" to our lives and the folks we encounter every day.

Rev. James’ talk was so relevant for our lives after this last year of the pandemic and also the increased violence in our country. Together we make "The Ultimate Comeback."

Our natural world is also in alignment with this theme of comeback as Springtime is springing everywhere in nature. Each of us is then responsible for bringing that comeback of love and a feeling of family alive with all of our thoughts and interactions.









Some thoughts and questions from Rev. James’ message to continue walking with are:

  • What kind of personal comeback are you making?

  • What is your ask and your communication about it? Remember “Ask and it is given…”

  • How will you show up coming back to living more Truth in your life?

  • What gifts have your challenges brought? 

  • Will you focus these gifts instead of your old story?

As we lean into living the answers to these questions, we become ever more worthy of the precious life that we have been given.

Springtime Blessings Coming Your Way,

Rev. Jesse

New Class with Rev. Jim Rosemergy

“If You Only Knew, Exploring The Deep Mysteries of Spirituality”

Saturdays at 1 p.m.
starting April 10 - May 15, 2021

Hosted by Rev. Jim Rosemergy, this one-hour Zoom class is a class like none I have ever shared before, filled with insights into the spiritual journey I have never taught or written about.

There is no required fee for the class. I like to let principle work, so it is available to you on a love-offering basis.

It will be an experience in which you will know that confusion is the mother of wisdom, that doubt is the precursor of faith, that darkness is often a better description of God than light, and that mystery is the most accurate name for God.
I am working on supportive materials to make the experience as helpful and growth promoting as possible. For those of you who have been in class with me before, there will once again be thought starters, summaries, “Own Work,” probing questions and exercises, etc. This is an opportunity to expand your consciousness in a mystical and yet practical direction. Over the winter months, I have been writing my autobiography tentatively entitled, “The Autobiography of a Christian Heretic.” The writing process has been a revelation to me, and it is the source of some of the new breakthroughs I am experiencing. It will be my joy to share them with you.
As the class content is revealed to me, I will send you more teasers and pertinent information for the class. Prior to the first class and each week during the gathering, I will send you a link for the class, so make sure you have your Zoom program ready to go.

If you would like to be added to the class, please send your email address to:
jimrosemergy@gmail.com
Get ready, my soul. I can hardly wait!

In Joyous Service,
Jim

I Will Not Die an Unlived Life

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

~ Dawna Markova

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:

  1. There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
  2. Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
  3. We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind.
  4. Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
  5. Through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.

Wise Old Sayings

"Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present."
