MINISTER'S LETTER
Dear Friends in Unity,
What a beautiful day yesterday turned out to be! While it started cool with a drizzle, it warmed up beautifully by evening. After spending most of the day in my office, as I usually do on Fridays, preparing for this Sunday’s talk, I was able to step outside to enjoy the fresh air. Dave and I sat on the patio with our two dogs, JoJo and Inga, taking in the sights and sounds of spring. JoJo and Inga playfully chased and wrestled with each other while we watched the gentle breeze dance through the yard. Lavender tulips and the brilliant yellows of daffodils and forsythia brightened the landscape, and the chattering, chirping birds fluttering in the trees were vying for a spot at the feeder. Moments like these are truly enriching food for the soul.
​
As I soaked in the beauty of nature’s renewal, it brought to mind the deeper symbolism of Easter—a season of rebirth and awakening. Which leads me to ask:
IS THE EASTER STORY JUST A FAIRYTALE?
​
This Sunday, I’ll be exploring this question and more in my talk, "Resurrecting the Spirit of Wholeness." Together, we’ll delve into the rich symbolism of the Easter story, looking at it through the Unity lens and the profound perspective of the Direct Path.
​
We’ll uncover how the story of resurrection inspires our lives and how it guides us to awaken to our authentic self and embody the spirit of wholeness. Wholeness is not something we need to earn or create—it is our inherent nature, already complete, free, and unified with the Divine.
In addition to examining the symbolism of Easter, we’ll explore practical methods to deepen this embodiment. These practices, rooted in Unity and the Direct Path, are designed to align us with the realization of our true nature and bring this wholeness into our lived experience.
​
I look forward to seeing you for this sacred Sunday Experience as we reflect on the renewal of spirit, celebrate our inherent oneness with the Divine, and explore ways to live in harmony with our authentic self.
In love and light,
Rev. David
