Why is inspiration important to you? Where do you receive inspiration, and how do you share it with others? These are all questions we will explore in this sermon.

Psychotherapist and author Jennifer H. Carey will help us examine the depth of meaning in this one word and how we can access the uplifting power of inspiration in our lives on-goingly through Unity principles, spiritual quotes, and personal experiences.

“Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5). “Behold, I will do a new thing” (Isaiah 43:19).

Join Rev. Martine Bernard at Unity on the River, as we explore New Beginnings through
William Bridges’ Transitions and the sacredpromises of divine renewal. After seasons of endings and waiting, Divine Love invites us to recognize the new life unfolding within and around us.

With every sunrise and every breath, the Source of Life offers another opportunity to trust Infinite Intelligence, embrace renewed purpose, and begin again. Are we willing to see and receive the new thing Spirit is bringing forth?

One door has closed, and the next has not yet opened. How do we live in that space between? Drawing on William Bridges and Unity teachings, Rev. Martine explores the neutral zone as a time of faith, spiritual practice, and possibility.

We will consider how our consciousness helps shape our next steps, how to meet inner upheaval with compassion, and how to make room for joy before we know what comes next. Perhaps the door ahead opens onto something more expansive than we can yet imagine.

Seasonal Fall Colors. Featured colors are maroon and plum.
