Rev. Sheila Johnson's Special COVID-19 Message
The work of the church is essential. The work of being a loving, healing caring presence in the world is essential.
The church does not need to “open” because we never “closed”. We who make up the church love our neighbors and ourselves so much, that we refrain from in-person gatherings until it is safe. We are the church.
We maintain that until all safety considerations are in place, we deem it neither wise, prudent nor safe to put our beloved people at risk. Our first priority is the health and well-being of our people.
While we miss seeing each other in person so much, we remember that our church is NOT the physical location. It is in our hearts and souls. It is US.
We continue to be open and serve the needs of our people, each and every one of us, alongside our prayer chaplains, our Board of Trustees, Me as your minister.
We join collectively in all the ways we give of ourselves… through sacred service (phone calls, being there one another, sending money, all the many ways care and give).
“I” vow to serve as the glue, in God’s name, always. Coming from a place of God's Divine Love, Wisdom, & Guidance… from my Divine Center…I am the glue that holds us together.
I am humbled to have been called to serve as one of God’s messengers, especially during this time. I pray and hold the sacred space for each of you, knowing that each and every one of us has the Divine God-stuff inside we need for a most enriching and rewarding life, even when forget that in the midst of our earthly challenges. Know that it is so.
Sending prayers, blessings, and hugs full of my deepest heartfelt love,
Sheila Johnson
Welcome Home
Are you are looking for a community that is spiritual but not necessarily religious? Are you looking for “something more” in your life? If you are one of millions of people who have begun their own unique spiritual journey, Unity of Stockton will feel like coming home.
You are welcome at Unity of Stockton, where we support the universal truth, energy and life found in all faiths. Unity supports your exploration and growth right where you are. We find that we are all much more alike than different! When we let go of “ours is the only", or "ours is the best” way and simply explore what is true for us, we find the Unity and Oneness spoken of in all traditions.
We are Unity, a spiritual movement that honors the spark of Divinity in each of us. We explore practical methods for spiritual development in our lives. Unity has been described as a practical, positive, progressive, and supportive spiritual community that honors all paths and all religions. Practice is a key word! We are here to practice what we learn.
We choose to see our lives as opportunities for affirming spiritual possibilities. We are not victims in our lives. We always have choice. Life is our opportunity to develop and practice our spiritual principles in human form. We accept our creative responsibilities with enthusiasm and joy.
Our spiritual values are Happiness, Joy, Love, Wisdom, Inspiration, Compassion, Forgiveness, Inspiration, Deep Listening, Non-Violence, Responsibility, Peace, and the list grows from here. You are invited to visit our spiritual community where our goal is happiness. We celebrate Light, Love, and Inspiration. Together, at Unity of Stockton, we make a difference in our world.
