Candle Lighting Service 

Thursday, Dec 18, 7 p.m. in the sanctuary, followed by cookies and coffee in the social hall.

This is our opportunity to identify one or more of the Unity 12 Powers as a focus for the coming year. You will light a candle from the source of the power(s) you select. This annual event has become a favorite of so many in our community over the last decade. We hope you can join us for this meaningful  ceremony and see what comes up for you.
The 12 Powers are:
Each of us has 12 creative powers that are fundamental to us. These are aspects of our Divine nature. The notion that each of us holds the Divine within us, that we have a spiritual nature along with our humanity, is not new. But most of us don’t have a method for developing our spiritual capacities.
Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore, who was strongly influenced by the Transcendental movement, went on a committed spiritual search. It led him to Eastern spirituality, which he integrated with the Christianity of his upbringing. He created the 12-power system more than a century ago. Based on the reality of the divine spark within all people, Fillmore used the disciples of Jesus as exemplars of the 12 powers.
The 12 powers provide a system for soul growth. Our minds can be a link to Spirit through these 12 capacities: wisdom, love, strength, faith, imagination, order, understanding, will, power, zeal, release, and life itself. We can paint the life we want by focusing on, understanding, and cultivating these 12 spiritual powers.
