That expression, "Just when it seems that everything is falling to pieces, it really is all coming together," rings true, especially when we look at the world today. The news can be overwhelming, making it feel like everything is in chaos. But what if that feeling is just our perception? What if humanity is actually rising to the challenge and reaching toward peace now more than ever? Wouldn't you love to be able to stand right in the middle of it all and simply BE peace? Is it really possible? Yes, it is!

Join us this Sunday as we continue our journey toward Bethlehem and engage in the powerful spiritual practice of PEACE. This peace is supported by our foundation of Faith (last week's Advent word) and expressed through Love and Wisdom. Let's discover how to hold that peace within, no matter what's happening outside.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with all of you and witness the genuine love and dedication within your community. I deeply appreciate the time, presence, and heartfelt conversations we shared throughout this process. With appreciation and respect, Rev Fran Winslow."

The leadership team will meet this Sunday, December 7, to discern the next and best steps for UnityCR.

Due to the snowstorm last weekend, you can bring your unwrapped gifts this Sunday!

Unity is once again partnering with Families Helping Families this holiday season. Learn more about them at familieshelpingfamiliesofiowa.org. Please take a tag from the tree in the foyer and return an unwrapped gift to UCR by December 3rd.  Please note: This year, the tags have general suggestions for gifts. For example, "farm animals" can be purchased anywhere of your choosing.
