'A Recipe for Community', with Rev. David LeBeau (via Zoom)
Ordained Unity Minister
(Rev. David LeBeau will be joining us via Zoom from his home in California. You will see him projected on the stage screen if you attend in person!)
The benefits of a Spiritual Community are real and unique. More than a book club or a civic organization, such a Community can lift us up and change the course of our lives. However, it can only do so if it is healthy, with an equal emphasis on both Spirituality and Community. Explore with Rev. David LeBeau the dynamics of living in Unity.
In addition to the morning talk, Rev. LeBeau will lead a workshop titled Putting the Five Unity Principles to Work for Us. We will take the time to get behind the words to the real meaning. We’ll explore the notions of “being one with God,” “creating our own reality,” and “using prayer effectively.” January is a good time to look at how we are using the tools available and whether we are really moving forward or just going in circles.
