Home By Dark What a gift to find a moment to feel at home in the presence of God all around me in my prayer time. What a gift to feel at home, safe in the Presence in my life, right now. What a gift to find a place in life where they know me, love me for who I am; a place that is home, free from fears, where all they ask is that I be home by dark. |

So Far, So Good We welcome Unity favorite David Roth this Sunday, as we also remember and honor the words of Dr. Martin Luther King. “As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.” “With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . . . .” “With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together . . . .” “With this faith we will be able. . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. . . . Let freedom ring!” Are we moving along on our collective journey of human progress? Well, although there are certainly many areas of our expression that could still use a lot of work, we look for the signs of progress, and we declare together, "So far, so good!" |

In the Shelter of Each Other You will love the music for our service this Sunday! It will sing through the windows of your heart forever. Paul speaks of the spiritual unfoldment of the soul as a great race. He wrote, “Run so as to win” (Corinthians 9:24), and “Forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14). In Hebrews, we read: “Let us rid ourselves of every burden . . . that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us” (Hebrews 12:1). We will sing together the traditional African spiritual song that goes like this: “Lord, guide my feet while I run this race . . . . Hold my hand while I run this race . . . . Stand by me as I run this race . . . . Guide my heart as I run this race . . . . I’m Your child as I run this race.” Let us remember that we are all God’s children and God’s dwelling is with the human race. So, we are all on the same team, dwelling in the shelter of each other. |
