Sunday, September 12 ~ "Fueling Joy: What is Your Red Rubber Ball?"
with Margo Villaseñor
"Your red rubber ball is what grabs you by the soul. It’s what captures your imagination. It’s what you do when no one tells you what to do,” ~ Kevin Carrol.
|
We are braver than we think and more courageous than we know. “People discover their red rubber ball in a moment of innocence---like on the playground…. When we’re free to run and romp around. That’s when we imagine we’re something bigger than we are,” ~ Kevin Carroll.
Life is limitless and vast like the stars in the sky. We learn to take risks; we fall and get back up...fall...get back up... Values are created and cultivated. Our Souls have limitless possibilities. Playing is our homework. Life is our playground! We are inspired, we have freedom to choose, we explore and exercise our creative muscles. |

Sunday, September 5 ~ "On your marks, get set, pace" with Jen Dickey
|
|
|
We live in a culture that values being -- and staying -- busy. Over time we can find ourselves out of fuel because pit stops along the way seemed an inconvenient use of time. Together we'll explore what it looks like to consciously move ourselves into a lane of sacred living.

We will be looking into this unique power we all have to create a better world for ourselves and those around us. Where we are >->-> Where we're going >>>

Sunday, August 1, 2021 ~ "Five Principles You to Live a Joyful Life"
with Rev. Merry Ann Kain
|
|
“It seems to me that I was an “acting” minister since a young age (maybe 7) when I would go around making up songs, singing hymns to people in a retirement home. I just knew because their faces would light up. I knew that was my thing to do.
I found Unity on Mother’s Day, 27 years ago. The minister’s words were affirmations instead of supplications. Unity felt like home. At some point the minister at Unity Modesto gave me a piece of paper from ACIM which said, “I see it in you. You have everything it takes.” I knew then but didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t believe I was worthy. I would look at the prerequisites on the Unity website, and it didn’t appear as if I had the requirements. |
At some point I decided to take a step toward accepting “the call”. I’ve never looked back. I listened to my inner guidance. I said, “Yes,” to each opportunity after that. It unfolded from there. I was ordained in 2016 and became minister at Unity Spiritual Center in the Mother Lode. I’ve been on sabbatical and am now ready to resume my service in pulpit ministry.”
