New Sunday Series and Tuesday Evening Study Group
The Journey of the Heart
Starts Sunday 21 February 2010
Lent marks a
time of inner reflection and renewal. It is a time for letting
go and discovering new avenues of blessings. Most of all, lent
is a time of preparation for spiritual resurrection and
transformation.
As you focus on spiritual practices – reading, meditating,
studying, forgiving, letting go - you are preparing yourself
for something very special, something only you can invite into
your life.
The ultimate goal of the Lenten season is leaving behind the
old and accepting,
celebrating and rejoicing in the new.
We invite you to become “new,” to let go of old ideas and ways
of being and to
completely accept yourself as a beloved child of god.
The book that forms the foundation for this series is
Spiritual Liberation:
Fulfilling Your Soul’s Potential by Michael Bernard
Beckwith.
The Book: Preorders with payment for the book, will be taken
in the bookstore.
The bookstore will be offering a 10% discount on this book for
the duration of the series/study group (until Sunday 28
March). Books will be available in the Bookstore on Sunday 21
February.

deepen the teachings, a companion book study/spiritual

New
Four Week Class
Embracing the Bible – Introduction to Bible Interpretation
12:30pm – 2:30pm - Sundays 21, 28 February and 7, 14 March
Sanctuary
More than any other book, the Bible is revered around the
world by millions of people. Although these individuals come
from many different religious backgrounds and schools of
thought, they all find value in these scriptures that were
written so very long ago. As you will learn in this course,
Unity’s approach to the Bible is very unique and specialized.
Unity’s perspective is that there is much more to the Bible
than immediately meets the eye. Rather than just taking it at
face value, we choose to see a practical side to the Bible
that we can apply today in our own lives. What makes the
Bible so important to us are the metaphysical meanings that
underlie the words on the page. For us, people, places, and
events in the Bible represent ideas and states of
consciousness within each individual. This distinctive way of
viewing the Bible is often not included in traditional Bible
study.
This class covers the very basics of Unity’s Bible
Interpretation. It is offered as a ten-hour elective in
Unity’s SEE program, with the completion of the course
requirements. Facilitated by Rev. Jill Andrews. Love offering
accepted.
If you have a copy of the Bible – NRSV (New Revised Standard
Version) – bring it with you.

Joel lived from 1892 to 1964. He was a great
mystical teacher, author and healer.
In 1947, he gained national recognition with the publication
of his book, The Infinite
Way,
which came
about as a result of Joel’s many years of study and
meditation, his healing work, and
the spiritual revelations that came to him during the course
of his lifetime.
He went on to
write numerous books on mysticism and mystical living.
He lectured on
these revelations widely throughout the world.
The Book:
