"Prayer and Meditation: Tools for Transformation" 

What wings are to a bird, and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul. - Corrie Ten Boom


  In this message, we'll take a look at the fourth of Unity's five basic principles: We experience the presence of God through prayer and meditation.

How can we use the tools of prayer (talking to God) and meditation (listening to God) to transform our lives and the world around us?

‍ "A New Look at the 10 Commandments: Part II"

    Today, we'll continue to take a new look at the 10
Commandments. We'll go beyond the idea of the 10 Commandments as a rulebook given to Moses long, long ago, to a pathway for aligning with Divine law and creating balance within ourselves and with others.
    We'll explore Commandments 6 - 10 this month, focusing on how to live in our physical world in peace and harmony.
