UNITY ORIGINAL STORY


Unity story  historically me

The only time I went to Sunday school as a child was when we were visiting with my cousins or someone from school asked me. I never questioned or wondered why my parents never took me. Years later I learned that there had been a falling out with the priest refusing to marry my parents, dad being Anglican and all.

I could never logically understand how all the different religions could say the same thing, yet run each other down.

Just realized in this moment that I repeated the family history when I married a Catholic and never went to church during that 2 year marriage.

Then in 1991, a failed relationship drama magically led me to finding Unity of Vancouver. It was Mothers Day and I decided to go to the Sunday service to get the information about their Wednesday night co-dependancy 12 step program.

How did the minister know!  It was like he was talking directly to me.  I felt like I had come home. Finally a place that fit and nurtured my spiritual journey.

The gifts of Unity are many. A loving husband and his family with delightful young grandsons that teach us so much. ( mmmmh another repeat of family history as his son married a catholic )

Wonderful Unity church memories on our travels.

My own evolution into serving this wonderful community. I still shake my head, never in a million years would I have believed that I would be praying out loud with others, let alone admitting it to friends and family.

I am so grateful for all my life choices, they all put me in the right place at the right moment to meet Ralph. We bless and thank all involved in our life journey. All my choices have created the 'me' I love today. I am truly blessed that GOD led me home.
