The Art of Forgiveness


This Sunday, February 24th

Celebration Service, 11:00am - 12:15pm

 
This month we've been focusing on the Power of Love, how we can access it more fully and how, by expressing that Love, we are made whole.  This Sunday Rev. Victoria will share what gets in the way of experiencing this Power of Love and how we can break through those barriers and begin to allow the gifts of peace, joy, prosperity and healing to flow abundantly in our lives.

2019 Board of Trustees Candidates

 

Mel Caron

Mel works as a headhunter/recruiter in her professional life, and her career path has always been in a hunting role -- seek & find is truly a part of her life.  This philosophy also guides her vision for UCP, where she wants to see our building packed with beautiful smiling faces. She wants to help to achieve this by using her “seeking” skills, finding people and assisting them to become part of a truly “Unified” Center of Peace.

Mel holds a vision that includes people of all colors, status, backgrounds & cultures.  She envisions every soul growing and learning together in the light of God, and blending their hearts in love, for love is a perfect bond of union.  From her 10 years of leadership in a former denomination, she has learned the importance of dedication, stability, strength, encouragement, wisdom and fun in building a successful community.  She is very excited to use these skills to help UCP grow.

Having moved here from Ontario, Canada in 1997, Mel is happily married to Judy, and they are parents to some beautiful fur babies!  They are both so very grateful to be at peace and comfort within our community.

 

Mary Wiley

Mary has been a "Unitic" since the early 90's.  She was thrilled to find UCP when she moved here from New Hampshire in 2006, as many places she has lived did not have any Unity groups.  Anyone who knows Mary can see her commitment to the Unity way of life – she walks the walk and talks the talk!

Her volunteer work both at UCP and in the broader community is remarkable.  She is actively involved in numerous areas of service at UCP, and she previously served on the Board of Trustees for seven years.  Outside of UCP, Mary is an active volunteer and participant at the Orange County Senior Centers.  She also sings in a doo-wop group called The Retros.

Mary is a retired Occupational Therapist and lives in Hillsborough with a son and daughter-in-law and, at the moment, one grown grandson.  Another grandson lives in Germany with his partner and son.
