Unity on the Avenue Spiritual Center

There are moments when a voice returns—not just to a place, but to the hearts that remember it.

This week, Rev. Susan Gumm returned to Unity on the Avenue, the very community she calls “the church that built me.” And in that return, she brought something deeply human, deeply spiritual, and profoundly alive.

In this heartfelt talk, Susan shares seven reflections from her soul’s journey—wisdom shaped by love, loss, courage, and awakening. From walking through grief and rediscovering herself along the rivers of Montana, to learning presence from a dog, to embracing the truth that life isn’t something we prepare for—but something we participate in—her message is both grounding and expansive.

She reminds us:

Grief is personal, but healing is possible
Presence is more than focus—it’s awareness of the sacred in every moment
Aging is not decline, but deepening
The spiritual path is not straight—but it is always calling us home
And prayer is not asking—but aligning

Above all, she invites us to live fully, love deeply, and trust that even in the darkest moments, there is always light.

This is more than a talk—it’s a return, a remembering, and an opening.

Take a breath. Be present. And receive.

From the stillness of prayer to the vast view of Earth from space, today’s Unity service with Penny Ware, Licensed Unity Teacher, invited us to remember a sacred truth: we are not separate from this planet—we belong to it, and it belongs within us.

With wisdom, compassion, and hope, Penny reminded us that healing the world does not begin with fear, but with love in action. A recycled can, a planted seed, a mindful choice, a kinder way of living—small acts become sacred acts when offered in service to the Earth.

We reflected on the courage of those who protect creation, the beauty of our shared home, and the power each of us carries to be part of the healing. As Wangari Maathai showed, revolutions do not always roar… sometimes they grow quietly, one seed at a time.

May we walk gently, live consciously, and remember: we are the ones we have been waiting for.

Easter at Unity on the Avenue was a beautiful and sacred celebration of the triumph of life over death, light over darkness, and love over fear. 🌸

Through music, reflection, prayer, and meditation, we were invited into the deeper meaning of resurrection: the call to release what no longer serves, to trust the unseen movement of Spirit, and to awaken to the Christ presence alive within us.

May the spirit of Easter continue to bless each heart with peace, compassion, and renewed hope.

Happy Easter from Unity on the Avenue.

Honoring The Christ Spirit

On Palm Sunday, we were invited to look beyond the outer celebration of Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem and into the deeper spiritual meaning of what it means to welcome the Christ Spirit into our own lives. What began as a crowd waving palms and crying “Hosanna” becomes, for us today, a powerful reminder that true peace, transformation, and healing begin within.

This message explores how we honor the Christ not only by remembering Jesus, but by recognizing the divine presence within ourselves and others. Through compassion, awareness, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual understanding, we become active participants in the healing of our communities and our world. We are reminded that our presence matters — how we listen, how we respond, how we love, and how we show up in the lives of others all carry sacred influence.

In a time when so many people feel unseen, disconnected, or alone, this talk offers a beautiful call to spiritual maturity: to see the light in one another, to cultivate peace through inner stillness, and to live from the Christ consciousness that leads us toward love, courage, and compassionate action. The message closes with a moving meditation and the profound reminder: You are God’s song in this world.

✨ Rev. Richard Rogers reminds us of a powerful truth: know your worth.

So many of us have been taught to play small, question ourselves, and hold back who we truly are.

But as Rev. Richard shares, spiritual growth begins when we stop measuring our value by our mistakes, our past, or other people’s opinions—and start remembering who we really are.

We are not broken.
We are not “less than.”
We are created in the image and likeness of God.

When we stop shrinking and start fully owning our light, life begins to open in new ways.

You are worthy of all the good meant for you.
And when you let yourself shine, you give others permission to do the same.

Arise. Shine. Your light has come. ✨
