Facebook Live Talk & Meditation
Sunday, June 7, 2020 Kelley Hunt “Surviving and Thriving in 2020" As we walk through a year that we not only didn’t expect but have never experienced before, what can we do to not only survive but also thrive? And, how can we help others do the same? Blessing:
Divine Love, through me, blesses and multiplies all that I have, all that I give, and all that I receive. We continue to seek a tenant, so there is a "Space Available" sign in our yard. We are not selling the building.

Join Robin Goff and friends for Full Moon and New Moon meditations. At the new moon, we work on manifestation, bringing into our lives that which we desire. At the full moon, we work with things we wish to release. Each month we will be working with the astrological significance of the sign the moon is inhabiting, bringing a different flavor to each lunar event. Come work with the energies of the moon and the stars.

May 13, 2020 Dear Friends, On behalf of the Unity of Lawrence Board of Directors, I am writing to let you know that we just met to discuss reopening our church to in-person services. After reviewing Gov. Laura Kelly's plan for reopening the state and recommendations and guidelines from Unity Worldwide, and looking at what other Unity congregations are doing, we very regretfully decided that we cannot in good conscience reopen the UOL building for in-person services at this time. After much discussion on when we might reopen, the Board decided unanimously to wait until July to bring the congregation back into the building. Even in July, the final decision on when UOL will reopen will depend on the health of Douglas County. At the very least, through the rest of May and all of June, UOL will continue to hold Sunday services online and host classes and group meetings through Zoom. Like you, the members of the Board want to return to our beloved building and want to see you all face to face as soon as possible. So, why did we decide to delay opening until at least July? Several factors guided our decision. Under Gov. Kelley's plan for reopening the state of Kansas, UOL will not qualify to open its doors again until Phase 3, which means we couldn't open our doors until June at the earliest. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has been stricter than the rest of the state, locking Douglas County down sooner and keeping it in lock down longer than the rest of the state. This means we may well see a longer timeline for reopening in Lawrence. Finally, the thing that tipped the scale for many on the board was the fact that the recommendations for keeping a spiritual community safe during this pandemic were so restrictive that we realized that Unity would no longer feel like Unity if we reopened before we could be safe. Among the recommendations were guidelines requiring everyone to wear masks, propping doors open so that people don't touch doorknobs, keeping congregants at least six feet distant, no choirs, no congregational singing, no holding hands while we sing or pray, no hospitality, and of course, no hugs or handshakes. These are strange times. On days when I'm depressed, I see them as challenging and difficult times. Other days, I simply see them as wild and interesting. We are in uncharted waters, but we are in this boat together. May this be the start of something wonderful for each of us and for UOL. We don't have to know exactly how. We don't have to know exactly when. All we really need is to remember that both the sun and love rise every morning, and we are blessed. May you stay safe. May you stay well. May you find joy when you least expect it. Join the UOL online service every Sunday at 11:00 am on our Facebook or YouTube channels.
