Ways to Stay Connected As Spiritual Community
We know that these are challenging times as we are called to social distance. We realize we can still connect heart to heart and spirit to spirit. We would like to share with you the many ways that you have of being connected during these upcoming weeks. Check back as this page will be updated with new offerings.
Suggestions:
Sunday Services:
Sunday Fellowship:
We will be using our Zoom Platform to create a Sunday morning fellowship experience. When you enter the Zoom room, you will be placed into a breakout room with up to five other people. This will create the intimacy of sitting around a table in the Community Room and sharing conversation. You will get to know people you may never have met. You will not necessarily be with the friends you would typically share Fellowship time with. It is our hope that when we are once more gathering in person, you will have a host of new friends you will have made in Zoom! To join the Zoom Room at 12 pm each Sunday, click here.
Prayer:
Meditation:
Meditation provides a perfect opportunity to ground yourself in the present moment, open to an awareness of God.
Wednesday Noon Meditation: This ongoing group which has traditionally met in our chapel will be meeting virtually! You are invited to join us each Wednesday at 12:00 pm for approximately 30 minutes. To participate:
Call in number-319.527.2704
Access Code: 559110#
Monday, Wednesday and Friday Facebook Meditation: Our Prayer Chaplains will be leading meditation on Facebook each Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm. This FacebookLive event is open to all. Simply visit our Facebook Page at the appropriate time. You can find our Facebook Page by clicking here.
Summer Solstice Labyrinth Walk
Join us at the Summer Solstice at USC - a celebration of light, gratitude, and love – Saturday, June 20. Due to the pandemic, please note specific items we will have in place to protect participants.
You may arrive between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Only 10 participants will walk the labyrinth at one time. Masks are mandatory. You may bring a chair if you need to wait, and an umbrella in case of rain.
We will practice social distancing (as we usually do when walking the labyrinth out of respect for each other). There will not be an introductory lecture or refreshments/fellowship after the walk.
A love offering will be gratefully appreciated! For more information, please visit https://www.unityspiritualcenter.com/summer-solstice-labyrinth-walk-0.
Circle the City with Love!
Circle the City with Love! Sunday morning, June 7, 10 -10:30 a.m. EDT. Join us on-site to stand in silence at our Labyrinth for a half hour. Circle of Love can grow into the grassy area as needed. Social distancing required. Face masks recommended. Or, join us in spirit and partake from wherever you are.
Classes:
We know how important it is to support one another in stretching and growing into new ideas. Over the next weeks, Rev. Joanne will be sharing some classes to support you in moving through this time. Check back for more information as this page will be updated as new classes are posted.
The Heart of Healing: Meeting M-F at 10 a.m. in our Connecting in Community Zoom Room. Rev. Joanne will share the day's reading and then facilitate conversation about what came up through the reading. Please visit https://www.unityspiritualcenter.com/heart-healing for more information.

Caring for Our Grounds:
Spending some time outside, in the sunshine, is a great way to move through these days of social distancing. Our grounds are large and your support is welcome. Master Gardner Diane Spence will be at Unity at 10 am on weekdays to guide you in gardening at Unity Spiritual Center. There will be plenty of distance between gardeners, and the support of caring for our grounds is greatly appreciated.
