Anna has attended Unity Village Chapel for over 2 years and has been a member since February 2014. After considerable prayer, Anna feels that serving on the Board of Trustees is the next step in her spiritual development. She volunteers on the Social Action Ministry Team, Power Point Team and assists with Potlucks and other Chapel functions. She feels that her experience as a teacher for middle school and high school has given her skills that will make her a valuable asset to the Board of Trustees. She has participated in several classes as well as the Adventures in Spirituality program last fall. “My spiritual practice is ever evolving. Since coming to UVC I have found a spiritual home that helps me feel ‘whole’ not ‘less than.’”

I was introduced to Unity three years ago and became a member of Unity Village Chapel in 2015. I immediately dove into the Unity teachings taking back to back classes and becoming heavily involved in SpiritGroups. My future goals include becoming a prayer chaplain and extending my sacred service volunteer roles for Sunday service. With my youngest son graduating this year, I am looking forward to having the time to volunteer, learn and grow with the Unity ministry. My love for the Unity teachings and how they have transformed my life is what inspires my desire to serve as a Unity Village Chapel Board of Trustee. Board term expires 2021 |
