Metaphysical Movie Month Concludes with,
“The Wizard of Oz”
This is a great month to introduce friends (whose only prior experience of church may not have seemed relevant to their lives) to Unity In Marin. Feel free to invite guests to join in this engaging service! We will not be repeating this in 2010, so this may be the last year we put on this production.

Note:  Due to musical content, there will be no podcast for this Sunday, however, please call the office at 415.475.5000 or email admin@unityinmarin.org to order a CD of the full service.

This week the Listug Girls look at the Metaphysical interpretation of the world of Harry Potter. They focus on the first film which is about a boy named Harry who learns that he is a wizard. He ends up going to the school Hogwarts where he learns magic and makes new friends. Unfortunantly the most evil wizard in the world, Lord Voldemort is after Harry and Harry spends his free time trying to save his friends and school from Voldemort. He learns to live his life by love and not give into the fear which Voldemort creates.

We continue with Metaphysical Movie Month. This week we explored the movie “Castaway.” It is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it more times than I can remember without really knowing why it has such an impact upon me. Over time I can now see how relevant it has become. I personally resonate with the desire to manage time like the main character does as a FED EX manager. Then one day he is forced to let go of that trait as he finds himself alone on a desert island.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt like you were shipwrecked, marooned on a desert island? We will hear from a fellow congregant, describing what it’s like to actually experience being shipwrecked. It’s a great story and one in which we all have something to learn. Audio

July is metaphysical movie month. What better movie to begin our series with than a baseball movie. When I think of Summer I think of baseball. This particular movie is the story about a man who hears an inner voice and follows its guidance. Like most Bible prophets who hear Gods guidance, the instructions generally run against conventional thinking. Yet when they persevere they gain in faith understanding and strength. Ray is told to build a Baseball field on part of his cornfield. He may lose his house and the farm as a result… will he follow this inner guidance in the face of losing everything in the material realm? Come and find out for yourself on Sunday as I explore the metaphysical meaning behind this story.
