"A New Look at the Bible"
For many spiritual seekers, the Bible is the cornerstone of religious education and understanding, a daily source of inspiration, guidance, and wisdom.
In Unity, we also see the Bible as a profound spiritual roadmap offering timeless wisdom applicable to our lives today. Through Metaphysical Interpretation, we look beyond the literal words and events and seek to understand the spiritual meaning behind them. If you would like to take a new look at the Bible and/or expand your understanding of how to apply its wisdom in your daily life, join us for "A New Look at the Bible."

“Take Up Your Mat and Walk: Do You Have the Courage to Change?”
Change is all around us. It's life energy pushing us to grow and expand. Using the Biblical story of the man healed at the pool in Bethesda (John 5: 1-9) as a starting point, we will explore what change requires of us and how to let change be a positive force in our lives.

A New Look at the Beatitudes, II
The Beatitudes are often considered the heart of Jesus' teachings and a guide for living a Spirit-filled life. Today we explore Beatitudes 5-8.
Metaphysically, the Beatitudes are interpreted as inner states of consciousness and as spiritual laws rather than external rules or future rewards.
How do we apply these spiritual guidelines to live in greater peace and harmony within ourselves and in the world around us?
