The credo Charles and Myrtle set forth for Unity is to discern, demonstrate, and disseminate the truths taught by the Master Jesus Christ. We are culturally Christian and spiritually diverse. We welcome all and are based in love and service. Hope to see you on Sundays at 10 am via Zoom. The Board Of Directors is discussing plans for when we can gather in person again.
Next week on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 is Women's Circle, Wednesday, March 3, 2021 is book club, and Thursday, March 4, 2021 is Dr. Jim Gardiner's class "Good news for your brain." Please join us.
If you are local, you can order online avoid the shipping fee by selecting "Have Girl Scout deliver the cookies," and Zoe will deliver them to your home and leave them on your porch to keep everyone COVID safe.

We will be discussing the 5th Unity Principle and how we live that in our lives:
Since the 5th Principle draws upon the other 4 Principles, we will be speaking to how we live all 5 in our daily lives.
The Women's Circle is based on confidentiality, love, support and honoring the wisdom in each of us to know the answers to our questions.

Song Lyrics - February 28, 2021
Weave
(Chorus) Weave, weave, weave us together,
Weave us together in unity and love.
Weave, weave, weave us together,
Weave us together, together in love.
1. We are many textures, We are many colors,
Each one different from the other.
But we are entwined with one another
In one great tapestry,
(Chorus)
2. A moment ago, still we did not know, Our unity, only diversity.
Now the Christ in me
Greets the Christ in thee
In one great family,
(Chorus)
Heart To Heart
Heart to heart, Spirit to Spirit,
The winds of our truth have blown.
Heart to heart, Spirit to Spirit,
This circle of love will go on and on.
Time and distance cannot erase,
The love and compassion
we feel in this place,
We’ll hold the light for all to see,
Connected as one, we’ll always be.
Heart to heart, Spirit to Spirit,
The winds of our truth have blown.
Heart to heart, Spirit to Spirit,
This circle of love will go on and on.
This circle of love will go on and on.
Surely The Presence
Surely the presence of love is in this place,
I can feel the might power in each embrace,
I can hear the brush of angel wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of love is in this place,
Surely the love felt as you enter in this place,
Is seen shining out in each and every face,
I can feel the love of all mankind
Transcending all of space,
Surely the presence of love is in this place,
Surely the presence of love is in this place.
