The children and young people of Unity will again tell the Christmas Story through the Nativity Tableau; however, this year they will be following the time-honored tale with the question “Where is Jesus now?”

We will consider the vital importance of applying the teaching of Jesus to today’s world and to our own lives, suggesting possibilities for directing the love that is ever present within and as every one of us.

Affirmation: My essence, and everyone’s essence, is Love! That is the truth of every one of us!

Blessings,
Rev. Pat Palmer

This coming Sunday I will be talking about the “Journey of the Wise Men.” This is a part of the Christmas story that has a lot to teach us. We are all wise men and women on our spiritual journey. Would you be surprised to learn that there are many similar stories about astrological events that portend the births and deaths of many legendary spiritual leaders? I look forward to sharing this with you on Sunday.

This coming Sunday I will be talking about prospering in this economy. How do you define prosperity? How does it feel to be prosperous? Who or what determines if we are indeed prosperous?

I will be taking a look back at the events of 1929 and seeing what lessons we can learn from those times.

This coming Sunday I will be talking about Thanksgiving traditions and history. This talk will provide you with insights to share at your own Thanksgiving celebrations. I believe you will also come away with some deeper lessons that we can take from those early celebrants that we can apply in our lives today. What are you thankful for today? I am thankful for being in community with such great people! I look forward to sharing this talk with you on Sunday.

Heidi Listug and I will be co-leading the service on Sunday. The talk title is 45 Years of Unity In Marin. This will be an opportunity to learn about the history of our Unity Community and the importance of holding a vision. We will look at our communities experience with holding a vision and with how they applied Truth principles. We will also explore what we as individuals can learn from this collective community experience to assist us in helping us make our own dreams come true.

This Sunday’s service is one that I have been thinking about for the last couple of years. When I have led the new members classes, one of the first things I do is ask people what their religion of origin was. I then list the responses on a flip chart. It’s always eye opening to see what diverse and rich theological backgrounds we all come from. On Sunday you will get some further insight in our community by actually seeing the many paths that have led us here. You will also get to hear from some of the ministry leaders in our community to get an understanding of their diverse theological backgrounds.

We have all heard about how different religions are pitted against each other for political purposes. We know that over the centuries wars have been and presently are being fought over intolerance of other religious and spiritual practices. When I think of these things I am proud to be a member of the Unity CommUnity. We are a place where diversity is praised and peace and harmony are the rewards. We are all spiritual seekers discovering divinity within. In Unity we focus on the spiritual Truths. We see them repeated in many spiritual practices and we applaud this. I am so pleased that as adults we’re sharing these principles and also that our children are learning these valuable lessons. My prayer is that one day all religions and spiritual practices will focus on what they have in common.

Well it’s been quite a ride! This Sunday we complete our 7-week book study on the book “Even Mystics Have Bills to Pay.” We have talked about many big ideas during these last weeks. I gave away $50 at each service one Sunday. We faced our fears with a visit from a Mountain Lion. We had the author out here to give a workshop. This Sunday, I will be reviewing some of the big concepts.

Blessings, Rev. Bill

This week Jim Rosemergy, the Author of “Even Mystics Have Bills to Pay”,
was our guest speaker. The following is a description of his talk:

When most people think of God’s will they think of events and happenings. Is it God’s will that I get the job or am healed or live in a certain house or location? In the lesson, “Attaining the Unattainable, The Will of God,” Rev. Jim will explore the idea that God’s will is not events, but a way of life. Come join us in this expedition into the kingdom of God and expect to see new possibilities for your life that are attuned to the Divine will.

This week we look at prosperity in the home. We look at practical ways that we can keep these principles at work in our consciousness and in our lives. Some practices you may be familiar with, some you may not be familiar with. They are all effective! We will also explore more big ideas on the topic of prosperous living. I am loving this book. Jim Rosemergy, the author of this book, has many other books in available in our bookstore that you may want to pick up for future reading.

Blessings, Rev. Bill

This Sunday I will be going into more detail about the concept of prosperity’s demonstration through giving. There are rites of passage of giving that we can all pass through once we understand them. I know I have seen myself pass through each stage. Last Sunday I announced that I will be sharing the stage with a mountain lion this coming Sunday. How does that fit in with this talk? Well, if I told you that, I would be letting the cat out of the bag… It will be revealed on Sunday.

I will be exploring the concept of the true meaning of poverty and riches.
How do we know when we are truly rich?
Is poverty a virtue?
Does the Bible really say that money is the root of all evil?
Are we truly willing to prosper?
Come and find out the answers to these questions and more on Sunday.

This week I will be exploring those things that seem to be barriers to our ability to maintain a consciousness of God. We will explore the question of knowing what to ask for. We will look at the truly divine form of currency that never loses value and is always available. What is our true source of supply?

How do we know when we have entered the Kingdom of Heaven? Come and find out the answers to these questions and more on Sunday.

This coming Sunday we will be kicking off our annual Seven Week in-home book study. This is a great tradition at Unity In Marin. If you are new to the community, this is a great way to become better acquainted with others in the congregation. It’s a great way to make new friends or to connect with old friends. This is also an opportunity to really talk and share these exciting spiritual principles that can change our lives for the positive!

Rev. Jim Rosemergy, the author of our book, “Even Mystics have Bills to Pay”, was a former teacher of mine at Unity Village years ago. He will be coming out to UIM later in the series to deliver a Sunday message. This is a great book. I guarantee you are in for a few surprises during this series….

Every August I enjoy taking us deeper, not only in a historical and scholarly way, but also in a way that deepens our understanding of Spirit in action.

We continue to look at different spiritual traditions and the similar stories and themes. So far we have looked at the proliferation of Flood stories, compared Jesus and Buddha, looked at the tradition of fasting in multiple spiritual and cultural settings and compared Jesus and Moses.

This Sunday we conclude the Series Many Paths – One God. This topic is about the experience of Spirit. What is it like? How can we prepare for it? I hope your enjoying this series. I look forward to sharing this final chapter of this series with you on Sunday. Click here to listen to audio message

We continue to look at different spiritual traditions and the similar stories and themes. So far we have looked at the proliferation of Flood stories, compared Jesus and Buddha, looked at the tradition of fasting in multiple spiritual and cultural settings. This Sunday we continue the Series Many Paths – One God. This topic is a comparing of the Judeo and Christian traditions by looking that the most important people in both traditions, Moses and Jesus.

I am sure that this will be an illuminating series. I look forward to sharing this chapter with you on Sunday.

Through August I will be looking at different spiritual traditions and the similar stories and themes that come up frequently. I find it fascinating to look at the origins and similarities in many of the ancient stories that come from different cultures and traditions. This week I will be talking about the practice of fasting and the significance of the number 40 (as is 40 days, 40 years, etc…). The idea of fasting and the number 40 come up in many, many religious practices from the Druids to the Hindus the ancient Egyptians, Mexicans, North Americans, Judeo/ Christian traditions, etc.. What were they teaching and what can we learn from them today?

I am sure that this will be an illuminating series. I look forward to sharing this chapter with you on Sunday

I find it fascinating to look at the origins and similarities in many of the ancient stories that come from different cultures and traditions. This week I will be talking about Buddha & Jesus. They were both true rebels in their day. They had much in common and I will be exploring that on Sunday.

Today began a Series Many Paths – One God. For the next five weeks we will be looking at different spiritual traditions and the similar stories and themes that come up frequently. It can be fascinating to look at the origins and similarities in many of the ancient stories that come from different cultures and traditions.

This week we talked about Flood Stories. Ancient civilizations such as China, Babylonia, Wales, Russia, India, America, Hawaii, Scandinavia, Sumatra, Peru, and Polynesia all have their own giant flood legends. All of these civilizations had their own Noah!

Are you dealing with change in your life? I know I am!

How are we dealing with change? This is the key question. I’d like to meet someone who is not going through change. That’s because we are all experiencing change in one form or another every day of our lives. Some changes are more dramatic than others, but change is constant.

How we deal with change can be the difference between a life filled with harmony and growth and one that is filled with frustration and anger? Listen to find out!

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.
audio

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.
Audio

This Sunday we continue our Spirit in Music Series!
This Sunday is Country Music Sunday! One of the things that I love most about country music is that it tells a story. They are stories that remind me of Bible stories. When we remember a Bible story we tend to also remember the underlying message, for us in Unity it’s the Metaphysical message. When I hear country music it brings to the forefront most of the challenges in life we all face. But it also brings to mind the power of faith and overcoming. Whether its Loretta Lynn singing about being a Coal Miners daughter or George Strait singing, I saw God today those themes prevail.

Every Sunday my prayer is that every person who comes through these doors will be inspired by the message the meditation and or the music. I find that music can really touch our hearts in profound ways during a regular service so this month it’s about putting the music front and center to carry the message. We have heard the Beatles music, Classical Music and we end with Country Music. I hope you enjoyed the series. Let me know if you would like it again in 2010.

Blessings, Rev. Bill

Note: We are unable to podcast due to the musical content of this very special service, however, you may contact our office at 415.475.5000 to order a copy of the entire service on CD.

This Sunday John Farman LUT will be giving the talk on the subject of Fathers day. John is an incredible spiritual being who always leaves us with new spiritual insights and I am sure this week will be another example. Here is what he has to say about this upcoming weeks talk titled “Building a foundation of Love”

“Often times as human beings we are distracted or lose our focus by fixating on what is NOT present in our lives, rather than bless what is right in front of us! Through any challenge it is imperative to know where you are standing, and WHAT it is you are standing on. This Sunday I will be exploring how carefully building this foundation can result in living a full successful life of excellence.  I look forward to sharing this with you on Sunday.”

Blessings,

This Sunday we continue our Spirit in Music Series! We believe that God is expressing in many ways in our life experience. I know that I am touched by music in deep way that many other mediums do not. With this in mind this month we will be exploring different genres of music and exploring how each expression touches on our human and spiritual life experiences.

This week the title of my talk is “Tuning in.” We will explore the classical music genre. We will hear music from the three “B’s” Bach, Beethoven & Brahms. Each of them was a great creator of classical music. Together I see their music being a reflection of the creative process, how all things come into creation. I look forward to sharing these insights on Sunday. It will be a harmonious experience.

This Sunday we kick off our Spirit in Music Series! We believe that God is expressing in many ways in our life experience. I know that I am touched by music in deep way that many other mediums do not. With this in mind this month we will be exploring different genres of music and exploring how each expression touches on our human and spiritual life experiences. We begin with Carolyn Gauthier who we have seen many times over the years as a musician and also as the leader of the worship assistant team, speaking her truth on Sunday. Here is what she has to say about her upcoming talk. “Most of us grew up listening to the music of The Beatles. I think they were Divinely inspired when they wrote many of their songs, particularly “All You Need Is Love.” On Sunday I will give my first ever talk at Unity in Marin! We will explore three aspects love that are key to our personal and spiritual growth. With the use of Unity principles and practical applications, we can enrich our lives and relationships on this journey of love.”

This Sunday May, 31^st we are celebrating Friendship Sunday at Unity In Marin. Invite your friends to the service!
Back by popular demand, is “Willie the Handyman,” explaining Unity Principles in a way that only Willie can! It should be great way to expose our friends who think of Church as old fashioned to our wonderful Unity Principles. So Sunday the 31^st of May is Friendship Sunday. Bring a friend!

“Can you hear me now? Good.” What hidden lesson is encoded in the Verizon Guy’s mantra?  Can challenges with communication be a barrier to our fully living our Unity Principles?  Aman Motwane says “Our legacy is not our accomplishments or our possessions. It is the quality of our relationships.” How often, when we have conflict in our relationships, is that conflict caused by miscommunication?   The percentage of the challenges in my life that can be traced back to misheard, unspoken, misinterpreted or incomplete messages is pretty high. And in this electronic age of texting, email, Facebook and Twitter, communication isn’t getting any less complicated… So let’s have some fun with it!  We’ll explore some different aspects of this important subject together and learn some tools to avoid and amend mis” and “missed” communication.

This Sundays talk title comes from the following the book of Luke. “Who is my neighbor?”
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 ”You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 
- Luke 10:25-29

On Sunday as we hear how Jesus responded to this question. We will also explore how his response can help guide us today. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Happy Mothers day! Our own Desiree Goyette has a special service in mind for us this coming Sunday. We will hear the wisdom of mothers from several people in our congregation from new mothers to grand mothers!

Paul said in I Corinthians 6:19,  “Do you not know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you?”

Can we truly call on the spirit within us to provide solutions to every challenge we face? What about in times of bankruptcy or death of a close family member?

If you or someone you know is facing a challenge, this message is for you. This is an inspirational talk that you will want to attend and share with others.

 Rev. Bill  Audio

What could possibly be the trouble with angels?  Charles Fillmore tells us that angels are the projection into consciousness of a spiritual idea… but that is just the problem.  Some ideas come to us out of the purely material world and are passed over to a higher concept that, though still good, is subject to humanity’s laws and fears. Some ideas never were good in the first place and only get worse with time. But true angels, our Guardian Angels, are those spiritual ideas that represent love, freedom, understanding and realization. These angels come to us only by the higher way – the Christ method in each of us as taught and demonstrated by Jesus Christ. How do we know the difference? Join us on Sunday for a serious discussion about angels.

-Rev Medora Gordon  Audio

This Sunday we are celebrated our connection to each other to God and to the Earth. In honor of Earth day we will had Native American flute music and drumming. My Talk title is “Our Sacred Earth.”

This coming Sunday is Easter. We will have three services to accommodate the increased attendance. The services will be at 9:30am -11:15am and at 1pm. We will hear musical selections from Desiree Goyette’s Oratorio. Denise Ruelas will be leading the choir and they will be fantastic, as usual. I look forward to sharing with you the story of the resurrection and how Jesus appeared to two people on the road to Emmaus!

-Rev Bill   Audio

This coming Sunday we will begin Holy Week with the celebration of Palm Sunday. It is the beginning of a journey for us to Jerusalem. Metaphysically, Jerusalem represents a Habitation of Peace. What must it have been like for the people at the time to come to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover? We will get an idea what it was like through the eyes of one man on Sunday. I look forward to you joining with me on Sunday as we explore Jesus entry into Jerusalem.

-Rev Bill   Audio

This Sunday we are blessed to hear from Valerie Marshall, our lead chaplain.

We have become a community that holds the Light for one another as we share our spiritual journey.   This is the Sunday we thank our Chaplains Emeriti, and introduce and dedicate our new Circle of Prayer Chaplains – some of the brightest, most devoted Light-bearers in our midst.

Let’s do what the UIM Prayer Chaplains do; let’s jump into the deep end of prayer.   What are we doing when we pray?  What are we not doing?  How do we walk in the Light when we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death?  Judith Cutino will share her experience of doing just that.  Let’s practice ‘being prayer’ together, and see what happens!

“Be Not Afraid…Just Cross The Bridge”
In continuing with the focus of our series on facing down fear with faith, I want to share with you my journey and how it has brought me to the recognition that each of us must “come out” of hiding. The way to truth is open and together we can cross that final bridge that will lead us straight to the Heart of God. “Teach only love, for that is what you are.”
See you on Sunday! – Sharon Sherrard

This coming Sunday I will be speaking about Saint Patrick. His is an inspiring story that fits right into our theme of “Walking the Talk. Facing down Fear with Faith.” I look forward to sharing some of Saint Patrick’s story with you and looking at the possible origins of the wearing of the green and the association of the Shamrock with him and his ministry as well as the claim that he drove the serpents out of Ireland.

This coming Sunday we continue our Lenten series on “Walking the talk: Facing down fear with faith!” If you have a friend or family member facing challenges this is a series you want to bring them to! This week’s talk will be delivered by, Rev. Jeanne Sutter, our Pastoral Care minister. She has some surprises that you won’t want to miss.
“Touching the Hem”
On March 1, our message will explore the meaning of “faith,” and how it works to bring goodness and healing into our lives. When we go to “fear” we abandon our gift of “faith,” and allow the healing or goodness we seek to be blocked. We will consider how we can become receivers of healing, as we look at the biblical story of the woman who was healed when she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment. We have some healing stories of our own, which may inspire us to open our channel of “faith” and receive the infinite flow of healing love and light.

Your presence will bless our service, and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning.

This talk will go beyond the topic of commitment in relationships and address the concept of commitment its challenges and its rewards.

I look forward to sharing this important topic with you all!

Did you ever wonder about the origins many present-day Christian practices? This Sunday I wrap up the three part series on the origin of the present day Christian traditions & practices. I will be looking at how some practices many of us grew up with, compare to 1^st Century Christian practices.

Over time we have come to think that some of these now mainstream practices have always been the norm in Christianity. I think you’ll be surprised to learn of the origins of many of the rituals and practices that have become mainstream.

This Sunday I will be focusing on The Communion Ritual. I will not only talk about the origins of this ritual but we will all experience a Unity Communion ritual.

Are you experiencing any change in your life? Maybe it’s a new job. Maybe it’s a job search forced upon you. In these times, relationships are under tremendous pressures: financial, personal, physical, and spiritual. Change comes in all forms and sizes for all of us, whether we are children, teens or adults. Maybe it’s the change of a child going to a new school. Or maybe the change is for you as a parent sending that child off to school. Maybe you’re a teen who hasn’t made the basketball team this year. Maybe you’re an adult starting over after a divorce. Maybe it’s a time of unemployment and financial turmoil.

Since we are all experiencing some kind of change during these times, I have chosen a book for all of us to read and reflect on for the first two Sundays in January. The book is titled Who Moved My Cheese? -Rev. Bill

Who Moved My Cheese? Part 1 of 2

Are you experiencing any change in your life? Maybe it’s a new job. Maybe it’s a job search forced upon you. In these times, relationships are under tremendous pressures: financial, personal, physical, and spiritual. Change comes in all forms and sizes for all of us, whether we are children, teens or adults. Maybe it’s the change of a child going to a new school. Or maybe the change is for you as a parent sending that child off to school. Maybe you’re a teen who hasn’t made the basketball team this year. Maybe you’re an adult starting over after a divorce. Maybe it’s a time of unemployment and financial turmoil.

Since we are all experiencing some kind of change during these times, I have chosen a book for all of us to read and reflect on for the first two Sundays in January. The book is titled Who Moved My Cheese?

It is a book I read years ago that I find especially relevant for all of us. Whatever change we’re going through I believe this book and the two weeks we all (children, teens and adults) spend reading and talking about this book will result in a greater awareness of how we are presently dealing with change and alternatives to how we deal with change. This book comes in versions for children, teens and adults. They are available in the bookstore.
