Faith. Faith is what Unity Church of North Idaho was founded on 32 years ago. Faith that the idea was a good one and it would draw people to it. Faith that there were others who believed in the goodness of God. Faith that Unity’s message was life changing and would sustain itself.

The message this Sunday is about Faith. I’ll also be reflecting on this past year and our accomplishments in preparation for our annual meeting which follows after the 11 a.m. service.

What causes Faith to waiver? Typically doubt and fear. I find it is usually when I place my attention on the outer appearances and conditions that try to convince me otherwise from what my Faith tells me. Faith and fear have something in common – they are both founded in belief.

A colleague and prayer partner once gave me a hand painted rectangular box that said “Feed Your Faith, not your Fears.” I use it as my prosperity box. The phrase is a truth, for what we feed grows.

This month, our theme and focus is the planting of seeds in thought that support our evolution of consciousness in creating the world we know is possible. A Faith that fulfills is an affirmative mental approach to Reality, and a willingness to move ahead to the harvest of good, regardless of our fears. Just like the powerful seed, we can burst through our fears into profound Faith.

Be with us – what I know is true, is that together we are creating a dynamic spiritual community that fosters and supports personal, local and global awareness as we co-create a world that works for all through the power of our Faith.

In Faith-filled prayer and support,
