Part 4 of 5

Today we continue exploring our core values at Unity Church of Life by going deeper into the meaning of Stewardship and what it is to be good stewards.

Join Rev. Felicia Searcy as she leads us through a meditation and today's message The Value of Stewardship.

In today's service Rev. Felicia reads from the following:
-St. Francis of Assisi, The Sacrament from the book Love Poems from God: 12 Sacred Voices from the East and West by Daniel Ladinsky.
-Thank God for Evolution by Michael Dowd
-Soul Money by Lynne Twist

Stewardship

We joyously receive and nurture all life's gifts and resources, using them wisely for divine purposes. Through the responsible use of spiritual gifts and resources, we experience prosperity and co-create an abundant future. Our stewardship enables growth.

Questions to consider:
Do I acknowledge my spiritual source, and tithe to share what has been graciously given to me? Do I accept and respect my interdependence with all living things?
Am I a good steward and wse all my resources responsibly?

Spirit Led

We faithfully open ourselves to God's guidance in our daily lives. We create order, peace, and harmony in ourselves and others when we align our daily actions with spiritual principles.

Questions to consider:
Do I pray, meditate, study, and apply Unity principles? Am I ethical and open in thoughts, words, and deeds? Do I deal with myself and others in a truthful, sincere, and forthright manner?
