Unity Atlanta Men’s Group
The men’s group meets onsite at the church the 1st – 3rd Thursdays of the month. The 4th (and if applicable, the 5th) Thursday is often a Game Night, or one of a number of various activities.

For any questions, including the logistics for the 4th and 5th Thursdays, please TEXT Steve Peck at 770-639-5242 or email him at speck3053@comcast.net
Location: Unity Atlanta Room 108 Time: 7:30 – 9:00 PM
For any questions, please TEXT Steve Peck at 770-639-5242 or email him at speck3053@comcast.net/
The Unity Atlanta Men’s Group Meetings begin with a brief 1-2 minute check-in during which each member shares how his week went, what’s gong on in his life, and any success or challenges he may be experiencing.
We then move on to a topic, which either arises during the check-in or has been prepared in advance by one of the members. Topics, week from week, have a wide range of subjects. We share from our own experience rather than giving opinions or advice or telling stories. Through this sharing, a sense of brotherhood develops with the individual members while retaining an openness that is welcoming to all.
Occasionally, we also conduct public outreach, and each fall we sponsor a men only retreat.
Mission Statement:

We are a self-supporting, self-facilitating, spiritually-based group
We remind each other that we are all connected and learn from our collective wisdom
We promote spirituality, growth, learning and community
We support each other and remind each other to live “in faith”
We share our lives, our joy, and our abundance to become like-minded brothers
We radiate our spirituality to our families, friends and the world
We express our feelings and emotions through healthy communication
Regardless of our means and circumstances, we are friends and equals
We are here–join us!

It’s a new year, a time for you to become new. But are you really ready?
Are you ready to dive in? Are you ready to take your leap of faith? Are you ready to (finally) do that thing you’ve wanted to do since forever? Are you ready to have what you’ve been waiting for? Are you ready to live the way you’ve always imagined?
Now is the time, in the present moment, at the start of this new year.
So, if you’re ready (or at least willing to be ready), join us each Sunday at 11:00 am EST, in person or via livestream, as we discover what we need to live our best year ever.

Burning Bowl Sunday Morning Service
2023-12-31 11:00 - 12:00
Bring In The New Year By Releasing The Old And Affirming The New

The burning bowl is a powerful ritual as one year ends and another begins – a symbolic release – a letting go of anything that no longer serves you. It is the opportunity to release old wounds, negative or unhealthy thought patterns, unfulfilled expectations, mistakes, or situations that may be holding you back from living your best life! It’s about becoming still, becoming aware, naming what you are releasing and letting it go…standing in faith for what is next!
Date: Sunday Morning, December 31st, 2023
Time: 11:00 am EST
Bring: Please BRING your letter to God in a SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED envelope. This is a letter you write to God stating all of your intentions and wishes for 2024. We will collect these letters and mail them back to you in early December 2024.
This Burning Bowl is during our Sunday morning service. There is no New Years Eve Service.
