GUEST SPEAKER AUDREY RAMSEY on NOV. 24TH
We are pleased to welcome one of our own congregants, Audrey Ramsey, presenting "A RETURN TO SELF". She has recently authored and published her first book called A Return to Self: A Pathway to Inner Peace, Forgiveness, Self-Love, Joy, and Hope. She will talk about her own in-depth personal reflection of how culture and outside influences affect the personal well-being of an individual. This deals with the psychological journey through the peaks and valleys of life to process, heal, and renew your soul.
Books are available to purchase and she will do a book signing.
CLASSES AND ONGOING EVENTS:
WELLNESS WARRIORS
Meets at Thursday at noon. Eric Miller heads up a positive, practical, support group for people who are dealing with health issues. Share your challenges and share your victories as well as set positive health intentions for ourselves. This group was created to empower each other on our journeys to living a healthier life. Instead of being a wellness worrier, let's all become wellness warriors!

Join in on this lively discussion group that meets at our facility located at 105 McBrien RD at 6:30 PM on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.

Contact Phaedra Roberts at phroberts79@gmail.com to sign up for the next SpiritGroup.
Unity SpiritGroups is a small group program available through Unity Worldwide Ministries. Phaedra Roberts, UWM Certified SpiritGroups Program Leader, says that these groups are made up of 2 to 12 people participating in a cohesive, strategic program that is designed to carry out the mission of our spiritual community. Groups meet once a week for 10 weeks to experience healthy, spiritually balanced small group principles called “The Five C’s”. They are:
Communion: SpiritGroup members grow through personal reflection, prayer and/or meditation time. Members begin each meeting with prayer or meditation and group members volunteer to take on the role of a prayer leader for the group.
Connection: SpiritGroup members cultivate fun and fulfilling relationships with each other. Group gatherings contribute to the development of meaningful relationships.
Compassion: All members of the group proactively seek to support and care for each other in times of joy and times of challenges.
Community: SpiritGroups enrich the community by choosing to serve together in ways that benefit the local, regional, and/or global community by participating in one community service project together.
Challenge: SpiritGroup members proactively apply what they are learning through their group gatherings. They encourage each other in their spiritual growth and provide non-judgmental support to help each other progress toward their intentions for spiritual growth.
