Christmas Eve Candlelight Service – 5:30 pm
Saturday, December 24
Rekindle the Christ light in your heart this Christmas. Join Reverend Crystal and our Unity musicians as we sing and celebrate the birth of Christ Consciousness into our world. We have scheduled our service at 5:30 PM so that you can participate and still have the evening free for family and friends. Join us as we listen to the Christmas story, share prayers, songs, and light our Christmas candles together. What a wonderful gift to give the Christ child in you!

The Burning Bowl Service
New Year’s Eve, Saturday, December 31, 5:30 pm
Clear out the closets of your mind and make room for the life your soul desires. Open your imagination and heart to the blessings God is offering you. This is our traditional ritual of releasing to the burning bowl those things that no longer serve us and writing our letter to God claiming our vision of good for the coming year.
We will sing, pray and step forward into a New Year filled with wonderful possibilities for all.
♦ NEW YEARS EVE PARTY and fellowship to ring in the New Year immediately following the Burning Bowl Service!
White Stone Ceremony
Sunday, January 1, 11:00 am service
(No 9:00 am service this day)
This day we set our intentions (similar to resolutions) for the new year. Rather than focusing on what we will do, we focus on who we are called to be in order to birth the emerging vision of our highest essence. During the service, we connect with our divine essence—whatever we call God, as we are invited to ask for guidance on what our word or words will be for the upcoming year. These words will represent our highest intention and may be in the form of a new name that will represent this emerging spiritual identity that will guide us through the new year as our high intentions unfold. That name is then written upon the white stone that we keep throughout the year as a reminder of our intention.
OneSong Service – New Beginnings
Sunday, January 1, 6:00 pm service
Continuing the theme of our Burning Bowl and White Stone services, we end the first day of 2017 with multi-faith song, reflection and meditation to carry us forward into the clean slate of the new year. We meet it with faith and with joy knowing there is a divine plan at work in our lives, and that every new beginning will contain something of meaning and value.
