Welcome to Unity Church!

It is with joy and gladness that we enter the house of the Lord.  We bring praise and thanksgiving for the truly amazing grace that God has shown us and all his people around the world.  We celebrate the goodness of the King who has abundantly poured out his love to us.

Missions Emphasis Sunday Today we have the great privilege of including some of our missionaries in our worship. Following our time of worship together, we will all get a “taste” of the world by sampling foods from the various countries and people groups that our missionaries serve. Everyone is invited to join us after worship for this time of celebration and enjoyment.

Disciples Continues… We are continuing our study of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.  For this third session of the Disciples series  our focus is on the truth that those who follow Jesus are a new creation through the work of the Holy Spirit. If you have not picked up your small group discussion guides, they are available in the Fellowship Hall. We will be following the Created series for the next four weeks.

We are going to continue to offer communication forums for you to receive updates and ask      questions about the building  project and other aspects of  ministry at Unity. The next     opportunities to stay up-to-date are January 20 and February 10 after worship. We plan to have more forums in March, April, and May.  You are strongly encouraged to join us in each of the forums, since we will have updated information at each meeting.

Budget Update
