We want to express our appreciation to those volunteers who give their time and talent to the running of our Unity church. We also want to express our thanks to our Chair and music people, Nathan and Randi Barnett, Steve Centers, our regular speakers Karen Silva, Velda Penney, Melissa Holmes and Linda Bentley, Kelly Kenyon, Rev. Carrie Kenyon and team leaders who's time and energy is put into our various projects. Thanks to Laurie Clark who creates the news letter, web site and order of service Power Point. Special Thanks to our board. Our fellowship team has been providing delicious meals for us. Sandy, Sue, Melissa and all the others who contribute. And special thanks to our Prayer team that keeps us connected to our Godselves.Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!Â Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â We all know that we live in a most uncertain world if we have nothing more to believe in than chance. And we eventually learn that, in the history of events, as in the history of every life, there is a chain of cause and effect, and in some transfigured moment we realize that things are always rightly put together on a new plane of spiritual understanding.

Mystics have referred to this phenomenon as the spiritual synthesis of our thoughts, words, and deeds. Many have speculated that reincarnation has played a role in it. Psychoanalysts have called it synchronicity. Others use the terms centroversion, the Omega Point, the fullness of time. Unity calls it Divine Order. And well it might, for the history of Unityâs first fifty years, since itâs inception in 1889, is the history of events in the lives of two particular people: Charles and Myrtle.Fillmore.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Rarely in the records of contemporary religions do we find the evidence and meaning of Divine Order charted as clearly as in a profile of Unityâs past. It is here that we find a first clue to Unityâs success. People who instinctively identified with the Fillmoreâs in their quest, recognized a new, adventurous self-discovery in the teachings that became the Unity way, and a new religion was launched in the mainstream of American life.Â

Somehow, somewhere, in the Divine Order of the Universe, the Fillmoreâs learned to put God and man together in a cooperative adventure, ending a spiritual stand off that had long existed in the teachings of the institutionalized churches. There was an intimacy in Unity that closed the gap, not only between God and the individual, but between heaven and earth and most of all, between universal mind and human mind, as though there were just one mind, Godâs mind.Â

The many who live in the One represent the One who lives in the many.Â
