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.


The Relationship between Faith and Experience

We will explore the nature of what A Course in Miracles describes as the experience of the Holy Instant and how it can manifest potentially in meditation and other practices. By meditating on certain passages from the Course and other works, we can hopefully catch glimpses of how spiritual practices can enhance the process of Faith and spiritual development.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we cannot livestream or record the service today. Don’t let that stop you – join us in person! You can also view previous Sunday services at this link: https://www.youtube.com/@UnityofRoanokeValley

About Bill Stanton

From 1977 to 1989, I participated in a Theosophical Society study group and, in 1989, began my study of A Course in Miracles both as a student and facilitator. My wife Debbie and I were members of a Unity Church in South Carolina. I participated as a Board member in that Unity church. I find tremendous potential for spiritual growth in both practical Christianity and A Course in Miracles.

Creating Prosperity with The Four Agreements

Join us this Sunday, July 2nd, as we explore The Four Agreements with guest speaker Mary Ann Walker! Prosperity is our birthright, yet these days it may seem just out of reach. This Sunday we’ll take a new look at The Four Agreements and see how they can assist us in creating the prosperity and love we want. The Toltec wisdom in The Four Agreements is a powerful code of conduct that considers the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and shows us how to transform our lives into an experience of freedom, true happiness, and prosperity.

The Shadow Knows

In Unity, our core principle is there is one power of love, everywhere present, and active within us. Yet, we often find ourselves in a battle with people and situations that look and feel against us, biblically referred to as the enemy.

Jesus gives very specific instructions on how to deal with our enemies. Join guest speaker Rev. Linda Taylor today as we discover how we can experience greater love and freedom in our daily lives.
