Free Estate-Planning Talk

Saturday, November 2nd
10:00 a.m. - Noon

Do you still have “get an estate plan” or “update estate plan” on your to-do list for 2024? Start the process by learning more about it. Kim Ruddell from Wills & Wellness Estate Planning will host a free educational talk at Unity on the Avenue on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You'll get a great foundation on estate planning in a relaxed environment, and you might even have some fun. Kim is an estate-planning attorney recommended to us by a member of UOTA. All are welcome! 

Spirit Groups Welcome You

SpiritGroups give you an opportunity to connect with people in a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling way. They create a safe space where you are heard, appreciated, and loved for who you are. They are designed to inspire infinite connections, one small group at a time, by coming together in a spirit of love and support.

Unity on the Avenue SpiritGroups include videos and discussions, as well as planning a social event, participating in a service project for the greater community, and holding a Celebration Sunday to share the love within the SpiritGroup with the Unity community. 

This October, two new UOTA SpiritGroups welcome you. Both SpiritGroups are drop-in groups held at Unity on the Avenue; you’re welcome to join at any time. 

Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul SpiritGroup.

Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

This SpritGroup will be led by Licensed Unity Teacher Penny Ware and Clyde Nagle.
About: This SpiritGroup will follow the book, “Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul,” by John Philip Newell. He reveals how Celtic spirituality—listening to the sacred around us and inside of us—can help us heal the earth, overcome our conflicts, and reconnect with ourselves. He shares the long, hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, explaining how this earth-based spirituality can help us discover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, with each other, and with the earth. You will come to know some of Celtic Christianity’s leading practitioners, including Pelagius, Brigid of Kildare, John Muir, and Teilhard de Chardin.

The Intenders of the Highest Good SpiritGroup.

Sundays, 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Anyone seeking deeper knowledge of manifestation is welcome! This SpiritGroup will be led by Carrie Solano and Nina Abernathy.
About: From four good friends meeting once a week outside the little Hawaiian town of Pahoa, people are now gathering in Intenders Circles across the globe to say their intentions and to share their gratitude for the intentions that have manifested for them. This SpiritGroup will follow “The Intenders Handbook: A Guide to the Intention Process and the Conscious Community” by Tony Burroughs, one of the group’s founders. This handbook is a guide to easily and effortlessly manifesting whatever you desire. Deepen your practice of Unity’s Third Principle: “Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.”

Soles4Souls Shoe-Collection Drive

Through November 1st

For their community service project, UOTA SpiritGroup members have launched a drive to benefit Soles4Souls, whose 4Opportunity initiative helps people in developing countries escape poverty. By selling shoes, business owners can provide for their families, and people who need shoes the most can get them at a price they can afford.

To help Soles4Souls achieve its mission, SpiritGroup members are collecting new and gently worn shoes. All styles, types, and sizes of donated shoes are accepted as long as they are new or gently worn. Gently worn means that there is some “life” left in them! 

Please bring the shoes you would like to donate to Sunday service, and look for the Soles4Souls box in the back of the sanctuary. The goal to collect 100 pairs of shoes by November 1. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
