In a world that keeps pushing us to choose sides, how do we remain rooted in love without turning away from truth? Join Blossom Risha this Sunday, August 30th, for an exploration of compassion, discernment, non-judgment, and the sacred spaces where honest connection and transformation become possible. Together, we’ll consider what it means to move beyond division and rediscover the deeper truth that connects us all. Our music this week is by Faye Cooley.

In every hallway of life there comes a moment when the soul reaches for something deeper than its own strength. Prayer becomes the bridge. It is the quiet turning toward the Presence that has never left us, the sacred remembering that we belong to a Love larger than any circumstance we face. In this final lesson of our series, Rev. Luz will explore prayer as communion, courage, and co‑creation: a way of aligning our consciousness with the Infinite and allowing grace to meet us where we are. Join us on August 23rd!

Our music this week is by Kirsten Osborne and Maddie Wurth.

Reminder! Our Community Gathering is THIS Sunday, August 23rd, after the service! Join us for an informative and lively meeting.

About Rev. Wally White

Rev. Wally White is an ordained Unity minister and has been a truth student for over twenty years, concentrating mostly in Unity teachings, as well as other studies in Religious Science and A Course in Miracles. His teaching centers on discovering our powerful Oneness with God. He began this spiritual journey learning from the amazing Rev. Dr. Della Reese Lett. Her lessons and support changed the trajectory of his life. Rev. Wally’s passion is interpreting the metaphysical lessons from the Bible. “By using metaphysics, (looking for deeper meanings using Unity’s Metaphysical Bible Dictionary) the Bible transitions from a historical book of stories to what Rev. Della called the best How-To book ever written. It helps guide you right now today into living your best life.” Rev. Wally is a speaker, teacher, writer, actor, singer, and most importantly a child of God going about living the very best life he can and helping others to do the same.

Forgiveness is one of the most sacred—and most challenging—tasks we face in the hallway of life.

When a door closes and pain rises, the heart can harden under the weight of anger, regret, or betrayal. Yet healing cannot unfold until we release the stories that bind us to the past. This Sunday, August 9th, Rev. Luz explores forgiveness as a spiritual practice. Through powerful stories of grace, courage, and unexpected compassion, we can discover that forgiveness is not about excusing what happened—it is about reclaiming our wholeness and allowing Divine Love to move through us once again. Join us as we step toward the light that only forgiveness can reveal.
