A Harvest of Resources
A Faith Journey for Fall 2026

As a divine spiritual being with a radiant soul, living in a sacred body temple, having human experiences, you are here to express your true nature and be a blessing in the world.
One of Unity’s foremost leaders, Imelda Octavia Shanklin, taught that we have all kinds of abundant spiritual and emotional resources, and we can be resourceful in using them. Whatever you are currently demonstrating in your life is evidence of how you’re using those resources. Love your demonstration? Yay! Keep going. But if anything is subpar, not helping you reap your best harvest, then now is the time to transform your beliefs to a new consciousness (mindset) of spiritual energy, for we cannot remedy a situation with the same energy that created it.
Whether you have been on a spiritual path for years or are just beginning the journey, Shanklin’s wisdom encourages you to harvest healing, wellbeing, abundance, and fulfillment. Join us Sundays at 11:00 am Eastern time, in person or via livestream, as we connect with our own soul essence and demonstrate our best lives now.

Holiday Whimsy and Christmas Classics:
Messages for the 2026 Christmas Season

The Christmas season, with all its shimmer and shine, invites us to slow down and savor merry moments. It encourages us to find happiness in small pleasures and favorite things, delighting in such whimsies as hot chocolate with marshmallows on a cold day, and classics like Grandma’s handsewn stocking hanging on the mantle. Rather than rushing here and there, we can pause to feel the peace of a light heart and the hope of a fresh start.
During this season, especially devoted to good cheer, join us at 11 am, Eastern time, in person or via livestream, as we celebrate the Christmas Spirit by preparing for a rich new life and a glorious New Year.
