Saturday Workshop: Praying the Unity Way
with Ministerial Candidate Rev. Alden Studebaker
Saturday, October 21, 10 a.m.-noon
We are taught that prayer is an important part of our spiritual life, but we’re not always taught how to do it. This workshop will reveal the uniqueness of Unity’s positive approach to prayer, and share techniques that can effectively transform our lives every day.

Sunday Service and Q & A

Be the Aloha You Wish to See

We see in life what we see in ourselves, in our consciousness. We create in our world what we see in our hearts. If we expect love, joy, and understanding, what are we doing to create it?

Plan to join us on Sunday, October 22 to meet with Ministerial Candidate, Rev. Alden Studebaker. Rev. Alden will be giving the Sunday message. Then stay for the Q&A session after the Service. This is our opportunity to explore if we’re a good fit for each other, so bring your questions!
