March's Divine Faculty is Wisdom

Wisdom is the ability to evaluate, discern, apply what you know.
I am guided by Divine Wisdom in every thought, word, and action!

In-Person Sunday Services Suspended

The Board of Trustees, Minister, and Licensed Unity Leaders of Unity Center of Cedar Rapids (UCR) implemented a Task Force to monitor and quickly respond to the rapidly changing recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Linn County Public Health Department concerning COVID-19. Yesterday, the CDC recommendation for group size fell to an upper limit of 10.  Earlier this week, Governor Reynolds prohibited gatherings of more than 10 state-wide, including churches and religious organizations.  Therefore, it is necessary to suspend in-person Sunday services and instead meet via livestream for at least the next three weeks. Additionally, there will be no meetings or classes at the church during this time such as ACIM & AA. Thank you for your understanding.

Sunday, March 22 via Livestream

At 10 am Rev. Debra Carter Williams

Topic: "Encircled in the Arms of Mystery "

Rev Debra Carter Williams

God is both immanent (indwelling and permeating all creation) and transcendent (greater than all creation). However, the poet and mystic, Hildegard of Bingen, wrote: “You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.” In other words, the indwelling God envelopes us and bathes us in Divine Love as we experience challenges, but calls us to know that the One Presence and One Power in the universe is greater than anything we experience.

March 25 & April 1 at 6pm

Staying Connected with UCR

The instructions for live streaming arrived yesterday via a separate email, and for those unable to connect via live stream, we are exploring other options. We are committed to remaining connected to our UCR community over the next few weeks. You will hear more about this very soon, so please monitor your email.  Let’s embrace this season as an opportunity to reach out to our UCR family in new and creative ways.  

We gratefully ask that you continue to generously share your abundance by mailing your gift to the church, sign up for electronic giving, or donate via the UCR website by going to unitycr.org/prosperity/  There are also links at the end of this e-news.

This season will pass. We choose faith over fear.  We choose the power of prayer over worry, and we choose connectedness over isolation.  While we may be physically distant, we are one in the unifying power of Divine Love. 

Know this with me: 
  • We know that God is a Love that has no end and a Power that knows no bounds.
  • God’s healing power of Divine Life is restoring, healing, and revitalizing our world in this very moment.
  • We let go of any fears or anxieties, and we affirm that all are safe, healthy, and protected.
  • We bless all those who support us in maintaining vibrant radiant health.
  • We express Divine Life in all we think, say, and do.
  • We bless our global family with radiant health, peace of mind, and abundant love.
Let us know how we can serve you. If you are anxious or experiencing a health challenge, let us know and we will reach out to support you.  You can email Rev. Debra at minister@unitycr.org, call the church office at (319) 393-5422 and leave a message, or call our new pastoral care number (319) 382-5358. UCR will continue to maintain regular office hours.

Options, Options, Options!

GiveDuring these unprecedented times, you turn to UCR for a positive message and help centering and focusing on Good. Even though we are meeting virtually for a while, we still have to pay our minister and staff, as well as our mortgage, insurance, maintenance, etc. Your consistent gifts are welcome and appreciated.  

We have many ways you can give:

Thank you for keeping your prosperity consciousness intact. There are many blessings around us, in us, and through us, and many more to come!
