Unity Church of Raleigh

Have you ever paused to consider the incredible power of imagination in your life, and what it might make possible for you, your community, and our world? From the perspective of Unity and its co-founder Charles Fillmore, imagination is much more than daydreaming—it's one of our twelve spiritual powers, a divine gift that lets us see beyond our current circumstances and envision something greater. What if the images you hold in your mind could shape your reality? How might your life change if you allowed yourself to picture good unfolding in every area, or if you let your imagination be guided by your highest self? Imagine releasing limiting thoughts and discovering your own creative potential—what new doors might open? As Fillmore teaches, imagination is the doorway to possibility, a tool for transformation, and an invitation to co-create with God. Are you curious about how you might harness this power to bring more hope, healing, and joy into your life? Join us as we explore this remarkable gift together and reflect on how imagination can help us see things right within ourselves and the world.
Scripture: I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will sing praise with the mind also. 1 Corinthians 14:15
Affirmation: I AM the spiritual power of imagination, claiming my Divine Identity.

When I feel without direction or unsure which way to turn, I return my attention to the divine presence within me. This is where I can find my most reliable guidance. The best way to receive my guidance is to quiet my thoughts and still the activity of my mind. This helps me discern divine guidance, which often arrives as a whisper in my soul. I let go of the concerns and indecision that have been weighing on my mind. I open myself to Spirit and discover the answers I seek are already with me. I wait patiently as my guidance becomes clear and release any expectations about what I think it should look like. With an open and receptive mind and heart. I am grateful for divine guidance.

Scripture: Psalm 25:4 -- Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Affirmation: I am open to the whisper in my soul of the still small voice.

In exploring the concept of God as presented in Paul Smith's "Is Your God Big Enough, Close Enough, You Enough?", we are invited to broaden our understanding of the divine. In the chapter "Is Your God Big Enough?", Smith encourages us to see beyond the traditional images of God the Father and to embrace the vastness of infinite being. He speaks of the cosmic Christ, a reality that transcends our earthly perceptions and reveals a glory that connects all creation. Additionally, he invites us to contemplate the infinite consciousness of the Spirit, urging us to recognize that God is not confined to our limited experiences or understanding. Instead, we are called to engage with a God who exists beyond our individual narratives, opening our minds and hearts to a relationship with an expansive, loving presence. As we reflect on this idea, let’s consider how we personally relate to such a boundless notion of the divine. Are we ready to embrace a God who is not just close to us, but infinitely greater, inviting us into a deeper experience of life and connection?

Welcome to Unity Church of Raleigh's Music Sunday, where the music is the message. Enjoy!

Join us for a transformative class on nonviolent communication, inspired by Marshall Rosenberg, where spirituality is at the heart of a life-changing practice. More than a skill, Nonviolent Communication is a way of living rooted in love and compassion, encouraging us to give of ourselves and connect deeply with others. In this class, we’ll explore how to shift from love as a mere feeling to love as meaningful actions that enrich everyone's lives. Through inspiring concepts and hands-on exercises, we’ll discover a practical, applied spirituality ready to make a difference in our everyday lives. Together, we will shift our perspectives from judgment to embracing our divine essence, making a meaningful difference in the world. We hope to see you there!
