HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Would you like to feel centered and balanced in spite of all the changes going on around you?
One of my favorite ways to do this is through a Unity teaching called "The Twelve Powers." This teaching affirms that within each one of us, there are 12 Spiritual Powers--aspects of our divine nature. When we consciously and intentionally develop and use these powers, we can experience greater peace, harmony, and balance in our lives.
The twelve powers are:
Faith, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation, and Life.
Each month in 2025, I'll be speaking about one of these Spiritual Powers at Unity of Reading and the Sacred Gathering Service in Lemoyne. I'd love to have you join me for one of these services and discover how awakening to each power can create positive changes in your life.
In my monthly newsletters, I'll be sharing an affirmation for the power of the month and several suggestions for applying that power in your life. If you'd like to receive copies of my newsletter, scroll to the bottom of this page and sign up. You can unsubscribe at any time.
SACRED GATHERING SERVICE
with Rev. Julie Vance and Kate McCutchan
Sunday, January 26, 2025, 1:00 PM
1st Christian Church
422 Hummel Avenue, Lemoyne, PA
Theme: "The Power of Faith"
We begin the 12 powers journey with the power of faith, the quality within us that allows us to look past appearances to the Spiritual truth of a situation--to believe in the highest and best, even though we don't yet see evidence of it in our lives or in the world.
Through exploring the origins of the 12 Powers teachings, sharing examples of the power of faith from Scripture and everyday lives, and learning how to awaken faith, we'll unleash a powerful force in our lives.
BRING A FRIEND AND JOIN US!
YOU'LL BE WARMLY WELCOMED!
