Rev. Richard Bunch,
Transitional Minister

Holy Week was a wonderful and heartfelt experience that not only prepared us for Easter Sunday but also for the weeks and months that follow. So many of you as stakeholders dedicated time and energy to creating the opportunity for Unity Renaissance to feel the impact of Spirit as demonstrated last week. Thank you.
Spring reminds us that we are always growing in Spirit. As the cherry trees bloom, rose buds turn into an array of multi-colored bouquets, and the different shades of green cover the landscape, we fill the joy and peace springing forth from within.
When we look around at nature’s resurrection, we know that each of us has an inward light that guides us to opening the path to spiritual understanding leading to personal transformation.
Personal Transformation is how we change aspects of who we are, what we do and the life we lead. It is both the journey – I am transforming’ – and the destination – I am transformed!
May Easter be an everyday event for you.
In love and light,
Rev. Richard Bunch

Expressive Arts Workshop with Lisa Cooper
11 a.m. Monday, April 24
The Expressive Arts Gatherings provide a safe and nurturing environment for friends to journal and create simple art activities surrounded by a theme which changes each month. These workshops are based on a multi-modality approach to knowing ourselves and Spirit more intimately. No art or writing experience is needed. We focus on the process rather than the product.
This month’s theme is Self-compassion. Through a full-sensory experience of sound, meditation, low-skill art immersion, movement, and writing, we will explore what it means to be compassionate towards ourselves and the world around us. Click on the link below for more information and registration.

As some of you may already know, our Youth Director, Ana Vincent, recently had her car stolen and it was totaled. If you know Ana, you know how much she gives of herself to this community and her school children. Insurance is not covering the cost of a rental vehicle and it may take a while for her to be able to get into a new car. We have set up a fund to help raise money to get her through until insurance can kick in. Go to tithe.ly and select the Vincent Car FUND. Thank you for your support!

A special thank you to the Mighty Men of Unity for cooking and serving a hot breakfast on Saturday morning! Not only did they feed the congregation, they also picked up the labyrinth and replaced all of the chairs in the Sanctuary in time for Easter Sunday!

Thank you to Tammy Beckwith for organizing the floral wreaths again this year! I will share with you all that Rev. Bunch thought we hired someone to make these wreaths! Gorgeous, as always! Of course, we can’t forget to also thank Tammy’s favorite floral assistant, Floyd Beckwith, who is the muscle behind the operation!
