"White Stone Ceremony"
11am, Rev. Rebecca Rickey
Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Join us on January 4, 2026, for the annual White Stone Ceremony. You will be given a clean white Jerusalem stone on which to record your new name or intention for the year. In meditation and music we will listen to what Spirit is calling us to embody or express more of in 2026. Perhaps you are being called to let something go, set new or better boundaries, or speak up more, or to focus on healing, or embrace more joy and happiness. No one knows what will be inscribed on your stone except you, who receives it. Come and participate with us in this deep and inspiring ceremony.

"From Principle to Practice: The Five Unity Principles"
Rev. Rebecca Rickey
Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Unity’s practical approach to living a spiritual life is based on the Five Unity Principles. Let’s start 2026 with a refresher, reminder, and a general “tune-up” about the Unity Principles and how helpful they are when practiced. The beautiful thing about learning and living by these principles is that, when used and understood, we see an improvement in our quality of life. If this information is new to you, join us and we’ll learn about them. If you already practice them daily, a little reminder is always in order.
