Friends,
Welcome to the website of Unity Church of Austin, Texas. We are happy that you are visiting us in this way, and we hope that your exploration will assist you in finding out who we are and what we stand for. We are a group of people committed to soul growth and development who believe that gathering with like minded souls assists each of us in fulfilling God's purpose for our lives.
We gather to worship, learn and pray together on Sundays, and many of us meet during the week to attend one or more of the classes offered by licensed teachers, ministers and other guest instructors. The classes offered include Bible studies, exploration of basic Unity beliefs, life enrichment, self improvement and varied topics of interest and entertainment. Child care is provided upon request. Most classes are held in the conference room of our business offices at 5501 Hwy. 290 West. Soon we will be occupying our new adult class rooms in our new facility at the same address.
Work shops involving prominent speakers and teachers are scheduled during the year, and we welcome people to attend the recovery groups who make use of our facility.
Sunday Services begin at 1:00 p.m., and our Youth Education program is scheduled at the same time. We offer classes for all age groups with age appropriate spiritual materials presented by skillful and loving teachers. Our weekly activities include a Centering Prayer service on Wednesday night at 7:00 pm. This service is basically silent meditation which is directed by our Director of Prayer Services.
You can see that we are a busy and creative group offering activities designed for our diverse community. However our most exciting current project is planning and developing a new church home which will offer us parking, public exposure, growing room and a beautiful facility to house all of us and those of you who are planning to join us. Now is the time to become part of an exciting and positive growing experience.
Becoming a member here is simple. We require two things; a commitment to follow the instruction of Jesus the Christ in love and in life service, and attendance at a regularly scheduled membership class in order to build knowledge of and practice of the spiritual laws of Jesus the Christ. We believe that following Him requires that we love God and each other and that loving God demands our service to our community and to the larger human family.
The website is one way to keep in touch with us and what we are doing. Here you will be able to listen to recent Sunday lessons on your I Pod or view our Sunday lessons via video. We also encourage you to come and experience a Sunday service with us. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the lessons we share here instruct, inspire and generally help all of us grow in wisdom and in grace. Our new music director, Glenn Langford, is building a music program featuring soloists, the Unity Ensemble, Y.E, Mentors, and other musicians. P.J. and the Gospel Project also appear.
Come and be with us now at Holy Cross Lutheran, and move with us to Unity 290 in the fall!!
Lovingly in His Service.
The Reverend Analea Rawson
