Join us on Sunday, November 30th at 10:30 am for an inspiring start to the Advent season with Rev. Barbara Williams and her message on "The Season of Hope." Christine Mariani accompanies this service with her angelic voice and inspired musical offering.
This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, a season of spiritual preparation — not only for the birth of Jesus, but for the rebirth of the Christ consciousness within us. The first candle of Advent represents Hope — that inner light that perceives good even before it manifests. This year there are many challenges that may stretch our understanding of what it means to be hopeful, to have faith. Hope is not mere wishing; it is a spiritual vision that looks beyond appearances and affirms divine possibilities. Charles Fillmore, our Unity co-founder, said: “Hope is the expectation of good in the future. Faith is the certain knowledge that our good is ours right now.” So, this Advent season let's begin with a vision of hope and transform it into unshakable faith!
