With recent events in mind, Jean-Marie will address the challenging task of loving "thy enemy," as Jesus Christ commanded. How can we love when every fiber of our being is repulsed by the behavior we witness? What can we do to truly embrace Jesus Christ's number one commandment to not only love one another but our enemy as well?

In conclusion to the creative process, initiated by the Burning Bowl Ceremony on New Year's Eve, we are holding the White Stone Ceremony this Sunday to pick up our "new name." Rev. Jean-Marie will elaborate on John's symbolism in Revelation 2:17, to unveil the relevance of the white stone and what it means for us to receive our (hidden) "new name."

As we are approaching the end of 2020, we are giving ourselves a chance to release what no longer serves us. With every release there is an opportunity to forgive, the letting go of the false for the Truth. This meaningful action of letting go prepares us for the next ceremony (White Stone), when we pick up our new name for 2021, a ritual of cleansing and reimagining for the next year.

Two millennia ago, Jesus Christ was credited with saying “You are the Light of the World." This phrase was not limited to only a few but meant for each and every person in attendance. Yet, after all these years, we still endeavor to hide our Light from the World. This Sunday, Russell reflects on how we can more deeply see God in and as ourselves and in and as one another, allowing us to throw off our self-imposed limitations and reveal the fullness of our Light in the World.

We are excited to present to you the best-of Christmas Concert songs over the last five years, recorded and performed at Unity Fort Worth with its incredibly dedicated music team who continues to get out of their way to entertain us during this raging pandemic.

Enjoy what would likely never have become reality if not lead into it. We are truly grateful.

This year's Christmas Eve Candlelight Service was held outdoors in our Peace Garden to allow for safe social distancing. Even though the environment might have been different, the carols, readings, and focus on the 12 Powers continued to reflect tradition. The serene ambience thanks to our Christmas decoration light, the lumineria, and the 12 Power candles allowed for a unique experience.

For this fourth Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie reflects on the topic of Joy and how the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ offers a direct pathway to a joyful life no matter what the circumstance. Beyond the joy of the Savior being born, we can learn to save ourselves by recognizing the many opportunities with which we are gifted every day to allow true Joy to arise in our hearts and minds.

For the third Advent, Rev. Jean-Marie is approaching the topic of Love, which is always in the air, or otherwise considered in the ether. Once we recognize that Love is always around us, we realize our ability to always use it, whenever we can think of it.
