  Many people believe the best way to study the Bible is to read the Bible but maybe it’s not. Unity teaches that the Bible is the story of the evolution of consciousness; the changing awareness of humanity’s relationship with God and one another. The Fillmore’s (Unity’s founders) were more interested in the meaning behind the stories than whether the stories of the Bible were factual or not. Current biblical and archaeological scholarship offers us information that just wasn’t available a hundred years ago, or even fifty years ago. 

  Consider joining us for a thought provoking study of a heretical gospel - lost and now found. The story and teachings of Jesus as understood by Mary of Magdala were shocking to the men the canonical gospels call the disciples. Instead of Jesus being presented as the "son of man," the early 2nd century author of this gospel introduces us to the "child of true Humanity" that is present in everyone! Truly a gnostic gospel that whispers its alliance with our principles and traditions in Unity.

  There's Room for One More - Dinners for 6 to 8

  Register Here

  Spiritual Community is co-created through your participation. We will join you with a group close to home and then you choose the dates and times that work best for you together. One meal a month, shared with members of your spiritual family, now through December. Schedules will vary depending upon your group. The dates listed here are merely placeholders.

  The primary purpose of these groups is to facilitate personal connection over a meal. Groups will be encouraged to have enough food so that an extra person (or maybe 2) new to our spiritual community - or even just new to you - could be invited for a single evening to get acquainted with more people and to see if Unity is a fit for them.

  Register now to get placed with a group!

  Join us this holiday season in our annual tradition of our "Giving Tree". This year we are partnering with an incredible organization in our community, Cielo, by participating in a Holiday Toy Drive. We will be providing unwrapped toys for children in the age bracket of 4-6 years old.

  We are collecting unwrapped toys in the social hall on Sunday mornings through December 3rd to be delivered to Cielo so that the parents of these children may "shop" for Christmas.

  Cielo is also asking for volunteers to help wrap presents at their facility for the parents. This will be on December 9th at 11:00am to help with set-up, and from 12:00 - 4:00pm for present wrapping. If you are interested, please contact Kyle at unityservices@unityofolympia.org.

  Cielo is an amazing resource and we are delighted to be partnering with them this holiday season! Please read more about what they do here:

  Since 1996, CIELO has provided hope to immigrants and refugees in Thurston, Lewis, and Mason counties. Our diverse staff knows the challenge of settling into a new land because many have done it themselves. CIELO offers educational, counseling, and advocacy services that empower our community members to realize their dreams. You can learn more about ​our current services here.

  CIELO is more than just a resource center. We are a community hub where people form strong bonds with other immigrants and refugees, our staff, and volunteers who make our work possible.

  You are invited to join with us in partnering with the Thurston County Food Project to provide food for our community via donations for the Thurston County Food Bank. Unity of Olympia member, Karen Reddick and her three children have been involved in this project for several years in her own neighborhood and they are extending their reach even further by collecting bags of food from  our Unity Community as well. 

  

  
  

  For the month of October we contributed to an overall, project-wide collection that resulted in a whopping 9,583 lbs of food donated plus $3,575 in cash donations, resulting in a grand total value of $21,016! That's worth 11,547 meals! Together we make a difference.

  
  

  Our next Green Bag Day is Sunday, December 3rd! Bring your bag full of non-perishable items to church that Sunday and see what we can do when we work together to help our community!  reach even fu
