At the Sunday, October 16th, in-person and live-streaming services, we will explore Islam.

At the Sunday, October 9th, 11:00 am in-person and YouTube services, we will look at the “golden thread” in Judaism.
This lesson is part of our new series on Unity and World Religions. “Many modern biblical scholars have concluded that Jesus was not trying to found a new religion. What he was trying to do was revitalize Judaism, and he very much considered himself to be a good Jew,” Rev. Dr. Rick Belous notes.
On Sunday, October 2nd, at both the 11:00 am in-person service and live streaming service, we will look at “the Golden Threads” in Christianity.
“Key questions that many are asking include the following: Is Unity part of Christianity? What aspects of Christianity should we be emulating? And, would Jesus call himself a Christian given all that is going on today?” Rev. Rick Belous notes.
The October 2nd message is part of a new Sunday series that is looking at Unity and World Religions.
At the September 25th 11:00 am in-person and live streaming services, we begin a new series that looks at Unity and World Religions.

The Sessions Band also is playing at the September 25th service.
On Sunday, September 18th, at the 11:00 am, in-person service and live streaming service, Rev. Betty Tarpley will guide us on a journey for help when our life experience seems to be falling apart.

Former Unity of Roanoke Valley Board member Peg Sorrentino recently attended an incredible retreat by Eckhart Tolle.
This Sunday, September 11th, at the 11:00 am in-person and live streaming services, Peg will share his extraordinary teachings and loving and powerful presence.
“The title of my talk, ‘From Calamity to Sanity,’ describes the hardships that began my journey, the ups and downs in between, and the awareness and humility that ended it,” Peg notes.

We will explore Unity’s Third Principle and Walt Disney’s famous train rides at the Sunday, September 4th, 11:00 am in-person service and live streaming service.

At the August 28th, 11:00 am in-person and live streaming service, we will look at Jane Goodall’s suggestion that we all become messengers of hope.
“Jane believes that it is not enough for us to be filled with hope on a personal level, she believes it is important for us to pass our hope on to others in positive ways,” Rev. Dr. Rick Belous says.
This Sunday service, which will be archived for future viewing, marks the conclusion of our series on Jane Goodall’s latest work, “The Book of Hope.”
At the Sunday, August 21st in-person and live streamed 11:00 am service, we will look at Jane Goodall’s fourth key reason for Hope.
“Jane’s fourth solid reason for hope is what she calls the ‘indomitable human spirit.’ She shows how we have triumphed in the past even when the chips were down. These times have turned into some of our finest moments that have led to quantum spiritual leaps,” Rev. Dr. Rick Belous notes.
At the Sunday, August 14th, 11:00 am in-person service, YouTube service, and live streaming service, we will look at Jane Goodall’s third reason for Hope.
“Jane says that any time her Hope batteries are running low, she goes and works with young people. Their values, energy, zeal, and faith more than recharge her batteries,” Rev. Dr. Rick Belous says.
