Sunday Services

We currently have one service each Sunday at 11:00 am. When attendance increases, we will return to our regular schedule of two services each Sunday.

We strongly encourage everyone to wear a mask while at URV, regardless of their vaccination status. We encourage everyone to follow social distancing guidelines. If you have any acute respiratory symptoms or other signs of being sick, we ask that you stay home, take care of yourself, and watch the livestreaming service.

Our YFM program is back in action! Bring your children with you on Sunday – they will enjoy the expanded program under our new director, Jane Harden.


Good Vibrations – Sound Healing

Sound and vibration have been used since the beginning of history to lift us from the mundane to the sublime and as a tool for creation and healing. Join us Sunday, September 10th, as guest speaker Mary Ann Walker takes us on a journey through the many ways sound and vibration have been used for centuries to create, open ourselves to the Divine, and bring about physical and spiritual healing. We’ll also look at the power of our spoken word and how we can use sound healing in our everyday life to create more peace, harmony, and expressions of love. If we are feeling peaceful and loving, we express that in the world and around it goes.

Stay after the service for a Sound Immersion with Angelic Therapy Harps. You’ll feel a wonderful relaxation flow through you and notice an opening to that deeper part of yourself. Feel the release of your cares as you drift into this lovely relaxing space that lasts about an hour and has benefits that can last a lifetime. $20 suggested love donation.

Is Life a Random Walk?

Is there any rhyme or reason for why you’re here, where you’ve been, or where you’re going? This is not a trick question – and there are no right or wrong answers.

During this talk, Janis will share some simple tools and techniques she discovered on her personal journey and spiritual quest to gain insight on the answer to – is life a random walk?

“It’s simply a matter of time before a seeker’s search begins in earnest – perhaps a week, a month, a year, fifty years, the next lifetime, or later – it matters not. Yet this may be the lifetime that a seeker admits, ‘I sense having lived many times in the past. I may be the best I’ve ever been, but I want more. Much more.’”

– Is Life a Random Walk? By Harold Klemp, p. 13

Remarkable Seeds

No matter how small a seed may be, every seed contains a genetic code to recreate the plant that it came from, to multiply, and to bear fruit. We are “God’s seeds.” We are coded in our cells and in our hearts to become God’s selves. This potential has always lived in us. Join us this Sunday, July 23rd, to hear Rev. Luz share how we can cultivate the right conditions for God’s seeds to grow and bear fruit in our lives.

About Rev. Luz Lecour, Guest Speaker and Ministerial Candidate

Rev. Luz Lecour was ordained by Unity Worldwide Ministries in 2019. She has served as the Senior Minister at a Unity Church in Florida for over five years. Before that, she served as their Associate Minister.

In 2000 Rev. Luz and her husband moved from New York to Florida. They visited many churches, but none felt like home. In 2010 she discovered a Unity Church. Rev. Luz knew instantly that this was where she was being called to be. It did not take long for her to dive into Unity’s teachings and put them into practice in her life.

Rev. Luz says that Unity’s teachings have transformed her life, and it is her deepest desire to share these powerful, life-changing Universal truths with those who are willing to listen. “My personal mission, she says, is to share spiritual truth, to apply them to my life, and to be a healing presence of peace and God’s love wherever I go.”

The Spark of Life

You’re invited to be with us for the 11:00 am service at Unity of Roanoke Valley on Sunday, July 16th, as we explore with Rev. Betty Tarpley what this spark is and how it affects us. We may have been affected by the world pandemic during the last few years. Some have stated that life is a struggle, and then we die, and others say, “I’m so tired of all this darkness and gloom, and I have no enthusiasm for life anymore.” Join us as we discover the Spark of Life and move forward with Zeal and Enthusiasm.
