Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on July 7, 2019 with Rev. Sydney L. Steen speaking about the "Artist of Your Soul" as part of our series titled, Season of Renewal. What does it mean to be an "instrument of the Divine?" Does it conjure up images of pious nuns, chanting monks, or the Dalai Lama? What if you conjured up images of yourself--as a parent? A child? A software designer? A waiter? An acupuncturist? Everything we do is an expression of what we call "the Divine." But for most of us, we don't routinely feel it in our guts, see it in our checkbooks, or believe it in our hearts. Our purpose here is to be exactly who and where we are right now. You are the way God shows up in form and substance. Together, let's peel away any ideas or beliefs that have caused us to forget our Divine identities. And let's have fun doing it! Sydney is an ordained Religious Science and Interfaith Minister and is the Associate Minister at Unity of Portland as well as the Music Director. Sydne

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service | Speaker Cylvia Hayes - Our annual camp out, June 30, 2019 at beautiful Paulina Creek, which is the perfect location for a talk about Nature, Mysticism and Miracles. Nearly all the great mystics over the ages have found inspiration and spiritual awakening through deep, direct connection with Nature. For so many of us getting out into Nature is how we most easily find comfort, still a troubled mind and reconnect with Self and Source. This is because, even though we may forget it at times, we ourselves are in fact, a part of, not apart from Nature. ******************************************************** Unity's website: http://www.unitycentraloregon.com Located in Bend, Oregon, we are a growing spiritual community of like-minded yet eclectic and unique individuals that come together in love, joy and spiritual growth.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on June 23, 2019 with Rev. Dr. Ruth L Miller speaking about "Beyond Empire Culture – Creating a Consciousness & Culture of Harmony." Rev. Dr. Ruth L Miller has visited us before, sharing some of her community work and healing experience. This time she’s here to talk about her work as an anthropologist and futurist, helping us understand how we have, for a few thousand years, been part of a culture of empire-building based on materialism and greed, and are now starting to re-create a culture based on and encouraging our spiritual interconnectedness. A New Thought minister with degrees in anthropology, environmental studies, cybernetics and the systems sciences, Ruth L Miller worked as a futurist, college professor, and consultant to businesses and governments before she realized that our problem is not what we don’t know, but our state of consciousness, and so entered the ministry.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on June 9, 2019 with Rev. Robin Payne Ryan speaking about Seeing and Embracing God - EVERYWHERE You Look as part of our Sizzling Summer Series. God is easy to experience when looking at the beauty of nature or listening to a giggling baby. However, how easy is it for you to see and embrace God in ugly, painful or uncomfortable situations? We will explore together how to see through any filters you may have to KNOWING that God is in the center of all people and situations. Rev. Robin Payne Ryan was ordained in 2002. She admits to not taking the easy route - with her "rebel spirit", she questions the beliefs she was taught, living in the question (whether she wants to or not!) until her answers resonate from deep inside. And then she finds herself testing them again and again, often experiencing great discomfort while considering many possible perspectives, until her beliefs are seated deeply in her soul. Come listen to her wisdom, and welc

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on May 19, 2019 with Rev. Jane Hiatt speaking about "Dream On" as part of our series titled, Season of Renewal.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on May 5, 2019 with Rev. Jane Hiatt speaking about the Kingdom of Heaven as part of our series titled, Season of Renewal. As we move into spring, the days grow longer, the sun coaxes new life from Mother Earth, and the sense of possibility expands. The birds sing songs of life and opportunity. We feel the energy of renewal at work. In harmony with this energy, we will be examining old stories that have been buried under the crusty snows of time, memory and cultural misunderstanding to find the life and guidance that they hold for us. For the next two months, we will be focusing on renewal during our Sunday services. ******************************************************** Unity's website: http://www.unitycentraloregon.com Located in Bend, Oregon, we are a growing spiritual community of like-minded yet eclectic and unique individuals that come together in love, joy and spiritual growth.

Rev. Jane will focus on resurrection as a process going on with us now, and at all times, of breaking through the tomb of human limitation into the dawn of eternal expansion, rising from the ashes of human hopes and pointing the way to a greater realization of life.

Rev. Jane will be speaking about the metaphysics of the story of Moses and the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

Rev. Jane Hiatt explores the question “Do We Need Salvation?” Ideas about salvation form the core division between mainstream Christianity and the metaphysical Christianity of New Thought. The debate dates back to the early 5th century. Are we born blessed or flawed? Is salvation an event requiring a savior or a spiritual process of awakening? How we answer these questions determines how we see ourselves and our possibilities.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on March 24, 2019 The Healing Journey - Merging Science & Spirit with Dr. Ruth Miller. When Ruth Miller found herself flat on her back with no clear diagnosis and a scary prognosis, the medical world didn't have answers, so she went inside. She was led to books and people and buildings that encouraged clearing her thoughts and emotions in order to heal the body. To her amazement, her symptoms began to ease and, over the months and years that followed, she resumed an even more active schedule than before.. With several degrees in the sciences she felt the need to verify her experience in the theories and experimental results of researchers she respected. Today she shares some of what worked for her - and some of the scientific and spiritual literature that explains and supports them. Dr. Ruth Miller is a systems scientist, futurist and New Thought minister. She is the author of a dozen books and she has translated the teachings of 7 New Though
