A love letter to my congregation

It is coming upon two years now, since I began as your minister at Unity of Oroville. I have grown, and I have witnessed so much growth in all of you! We have really gone through a lot; we have faced loss of homes, loss of loved ones, illnesses, challenges and personal struggles, and we have been there for one another with the warmest embraces, smiles, tears, laughter, silence, joy, and moments of profound awakening. It is the Unity of our family, it is the love that is the truth of who we are, expressed in patience, in forgiveness, in understanding, and in the endless ways we express our support, that makes this such a beautiful community!

We are thriving, we are growing, we have beloved long-time members and many beautiful new members, and the feeling is one of ever greater possibility! As we are united and centered in Spirit, we can spread that light of consciousness and that unconditional love to bless the greater community.

I am very happy to announce that I have agreed to another year serving as your minister at Unity of Oroville. In some ways I feel we are just getting started, and there is an ever deeper dive we can take into the journey of our spiritual awakening.

I will be asking you what you want to learn, grow and deepen in on your spiritual path. We will be looking at greater ways to serve our community’s need. The journey into communion with Spirit is rich beyond anything we can imagine, and calls each one of us, in the stillness of our soul, to a deeper level. I will be speaking the month of June of a variety of spiritual practices that deepen our awareness, and giving us experiential time to explore the practices each service.

It has been a great joy and honor to get to know each one of you. To connect from the heart, to hear the longing of your soul, and to be here to support you in your spiritual journey. And I want to get to know you more.

Thank you for the unique gift you bring to our Unity community. For the ways you serve, and you shine. It wouldn’t be the same without you! I truly behold the Christ in you, the Divine in you, and I celebrate our continuing spiritual journey!

I love you very much!
