Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer ~ This book challenges people to move beyond the comfort of a settled life toward an understanding of themselves that is rooted in their connection to God. Only when they rest in God can they find the certainty and the freedom to become all that they can be.

Below are quotes of Richard Rohr's from the book:

Gain “easy and natural access to your soul, and openness to transcendent spirit.“ 
​​
​“Only the spacious contemplative mind, can see so broadly and trust so deeply."

”The gift that true contemplatives offer to themselves and society is that they know themselves as part of a much larger story, much larger.”

”All spiritual disciplines, have one purpose: to get rid of illusions, so we can be present. These disciplines exist, so that we can see what is, see who we are, and see what is happening. ”

More About AIS Small Groups

What are Small Groups?
UVC Small Groups are gatherings of up to 12 people meeting outside of a Sunday Service in-person or virtually on Zoom to explore together, deepen spiritual practice, and build community through focusing on a weekly theme from our a book presented in the Sunday morning sermon series. Gatherings are generally 90 minutes and include connection and learning more about each other, sacred time for meditation, reflection and discussion.

GREAT - WELCOME!  We are excited to have you join on this journey together!  

You are welcome to use these generically branded resources as you would like.  Swap out your logo, add wording specific to your location or whatever best suits your community.  Feel free to watch our sermons on YouTube to get inspiration for messages.  We do ask that you contact us at UnityVillageChapel@gmail.com so we can add you to the participation list and provide assistance as well as helpful resources for your spiritual center.  Including UVC in appreciation tithes and love offerings help us offer these resources to the greater New Thought CommUnity.  Visit our GIVE page to contribute.
