“La Plenitud: El Viaje y el Destino”

Rev. Claudia Olmos

Este domingo exploraremos la plenitud como un viaje dinámico, no como un estado fijo. La verdadera plenitud surge al abrazar todos los aspectos de nosotros mismos—físico, mental y espiritual—y armonizarlos en un todo integrado.

Robert Brumet nos recuerda que este camino requiere autoconciencia, responsabilidad personal y aceptación de nuestras imperfecciones, transformando nuestras limitaciones en oportunidades de crecimiento y autoconocimiento.

Al conectarnos con nuestra esencia espiritual, podemos experimentar paz interior, transformación y una conexión más profunda con lo divino. La plenitud es tanto el destino que buscamos como el camino que recorremos cada día.

Te invitamos a acompañarnos este domingo para explorar juntos este camino hacia la plenitud y descubrir nuevas formas de vivir en armonía con nuestra esencia espiritual.

Se requieren máscaras para sentarse en el balcón.

Celebrando la Herencia, el Espíritu y la Unidad

Rev. Claudia Olmos

Este domingo, en el marco del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, celebramos la riqueza, la resiliencia y la fe de las comunidades hispanas. Nuestras tradiciones, historias, música y valores no son solo un tesoro cultural, sino también un regalo espiritual que refleja la luz divina que habita en nosotros.

Podemos inspirarnos en la historia de Pentecostés (Hechos 2:1-12). En ese día, el Espíritu Santo permitió que los discípulos hablaran en muchos idiomas, para que personas de todas las naciones pudieran escuchar y comprender el mensaje del amor de Dios. Así como el Espíritu celebró la diversidad y la unidad, nuestra herencia cultural nos recuerda que nuestras diferencias enriquecen el cuerpo de Cristo y nos acercan como comunidad espiritual.

Que este mes nos inspire a abrazar nuestra herencia con orgullo, compartir nuestros dones libremente y celebrar el Espíritu actuando a través de nosotros y de nuestras comunidades. Al honrar nuestras raíces y alzar nuestras voces juntos, reflejamos la belleza del amor de Dios en cada idioma, cada tradición y cada corazón.

Te invitamos a acompañarnos este domingo para reflexionar juntos sobre la herencia, la unidad y la acción del Espíritu en nuestras vidas. Además, te animamos a venir vestido con un traje típico de tu país para participar en el servicio bilingüe de las 11:00 a.m., donde celebraremos nuestra unidad en Unity.

Al salir tendremos la presencia del Ballet Folklorico del Consulado Mexicano de Houston, en el patio.

Love is put into action in countless ways every instant of every day. But we’re living at a time when love must expand its influence beyond just personal to collective expression. We must take the ethic of love into the public realm. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., when speaking about Mahatma Gandhi, “He was probably the first person in history to lift the love ethic above mere interaction between individuals to a powerful and effective social force on a large scale.” The event will begin with an exclusive VIP reception at 6:30 PM, offering guests the unique opportunity to meet and connect with Marianne in person. The evening will conclude with a special book signing immediately following the presentation. Bring your book to get signed; we will have a limited number of books available for purchase.About Marianne Williamson: For over four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader in spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, including four #1 New York Times bestsellers. Her quote from A Return to Love — “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure” — has become a modern spiritual anthem. Other bestselling titles include A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph, The Gift of Change, Everyday Grace, and The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love. Through her books and online teachings, she has reached millions with universal spiritual principles rooted in the world’s major faiths. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, which has delivered over 19 million meals to critically ill homebound people in L.A. since 1989. She co-founded The Peace Alliance and has championed anti-poverty, hunger relief, and racial reconciliation. She also ran for the Democratic nomination for U.S. President in 2020 and 2024.

“What’s Going On?”

Rev. Michael Gott

For many, the world feels more disrupted and disturbed than ever before. What does this mean? The Chinese symbol for crisis contains the words “danger” but also “opportunity.” What if this is a time of great evolutionary change?

Can we tend to our own needs for safety and wellbeing during uncertain times and also hold on to hope and possibility for the future of humanity? We can accomplish both of these intentions when we are grounded in spiritual principle and unattached to outcomes. Not easy. But possible.

“La Historia de Nosotros”

Rev. Claudia Olmos

Hay una historia universal que vive dentro de cada uno de nosotros—una historia de anhelo, valentía, transformación y regreso. En este mensaje de apertura de nuestra serie de la Piedra Angular, exploramos el viaje espiritual no como algo externo o lejano, sino como el mismo tejido de nuestras vidas, presente en cada desafío, cada decisión y cada nuevo comienzo.

Reconocemos que, así como los héroes y heroínas de los grandes relatos atraviesan pruebas y descubrimientos, también nosotros transitamos etapas que nos invitan a crecer, a soltar lo que ya no sirve y a abrirnos a lo desconocido con confianza. Juntos, comenzaremos a descubrir el patrón más profundo bajo nuestras experiencias—el hilo mítico que revela nuestras vidas como sagradas, llenas de propósito y desplegándose bajo un diseño divino que nos guía siempre hacia una mayor plenitud.

¡Te invitamos a que nos acompañes este domingo!

Afirmación: Despierto a la historia sagrada que se despliega en mí. Soy tanto el viajero como el tesoro.

“The Story of Us”

Revs. Michael Gott and Stacy Collins

There is a universal story that lives within each of us—a story of longing, courage, transformation, and return. In this opening message of our Touchstone series, we explore the spiritual journey not as something outside of us, but as the very fabric of our lives. Together, we’ll begin to uncover the deeper pattern beneath our experiences—the mythic thread that reveals our lives as sacred, purposeful, and unfolding by divine design.

Affirmation: I awaken to the sacred story unfolding in me. I am both the traveler and the treasure.

“El Llamado a la Aventura”

Rev. Claudia Olmos

Algo nos está llamando. Hay un impulso de evolución inscrito en el mismo tejido de la realidad, una vibración que nos recuerda constantemente que somos más de lo que imaginamos. Dentro de nosotros late una vida más grande, más plena, más luminosa, pidiendo ser revelada y expresada en todo lo que hacemos.

Si estamos dispuestos a aquietarnos, a hacer una pausa en medio del ruido cotidiano, descubriremos que el llamado siempre ha estado allí: en nuestros anhelos más profundos, en los sueños que se niegan a morir, en esa chispa interior que no se apaga. Entonces surge la gran pregunta: ¿qué es aquello que pide nuestra atención en este momento? ¿Y qué creencias, miedos o hábitos nos mantienen jugando en pequeño, limitando la grandeza de nuestro ser?

Aceptar este llamado es atrevernos a entrar en un territorio nuevo, más amplio, donde lo divino en nosotros puede desplegarse con poder y propósito.

¡Te invitamos a que nos acompañes este domingo!

Afirmación: Le digo sí a la Vida. Estoy dispuesto a ir más allá de mi zona de confort y vivir desde una verdad más profunda en mí.

“The Call to Adventure“

Rev. Michael Gott

Something is calling us. There is an impulse for evolution written into the very fabric of reality. There is a bigger life within us that is asking to be revealed. If we are willing to be still and listen, we will hear the call. What is it that is asking for our attention? What is it that keeps us playing small?

Affirmation: I say yes to Life. I am willing to move beyond my comfort zone and live from a deeper truth within me.

“El Camino de los desafíos”

Ricardo Portillo

Jesús dijo: “En este mundo afrontarán aflicciones. ¡Pero anímense! Yo he vencido al mundo.” Con estas palabras nos recuerda una verdad fundamental: las dificultades forman parte de la experiencia humana. Nadie está exento de los retos, las pérdidas o los momentos de incertidumbre. Sin embargo, no estamos destinados a quedarnos atrapados en ellos.

Cada desafío trae consigo una invitación a despertar y a profundizar en nuestra fe. Cuando elegimos mirar nuestras pruebas no como obstáculos definitivos, sino como oportunidades de crecimiento, algo poderoso ocurre: descubrimos dentro de nosotros reservas de fortaleza, sabiduría y resiliencia que antes estaban ocultas.

Enfrentar las adversidades con valentía y confianza en lo divino nos transforma para bien. Nos ayuda a reconocer que no somos víctimas de las circunstancias, sino co-creadores de una vida más plena. En ese proceso, se revela un poder espiritual que nos sostiene, nos eleva y nos recuerda que, al igual que Jesús, también nosotros podemos “vencer al mundo.”

11 am | Sunday Morning Service | Rev. Michael Gott
2025-10-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Unity of Houston – Sanctuary and Livestream, 2929 Unity Drive, Houston, Texas, 77057, United States
“The Road of Trials”

Rev. Michael Gott

Being a spiritual person does not mean we are exempt from pain or struggle. We all face difficulties in our lives. This is a universal human experience. But there is an awakening, a deepening that happens when we face our challenges with courage and with faith. We are changed for good in the process, revealing hidden strengths and spiritual power we did not know we possessed.

Affirmation: I face the challenges in my journey with a heroic heart and powerful faith. I am an overcomer.

Join us as we celebrate Diwali this Sunday.

Recognizing the Radiance of Diwali: Festival of Light, Unity, and Renewal

Beyond the mesmerizing spectacle of illuminated lamps and vibrant decorations, Diwali unveils a tapestry of spiritual wisdom that transcends religious boundaries.

We will reflect upon the spiritual depth of this celebration of light over darkness that serves as a powerful reminder that even in life’s bleakest moments, a spark of light resides within each of us, waiting to be ignited.

Parents: Please sign your kids in at their classrooms, and then take them to Wallet Hall for Pre-session activities from 10:30 – 11:00.

Roadmap to World Religions
2025-10-19 12:30 - 14:30 | Unity of Houston – Pyramid, 2929 Unity Drive, Houston, 77057, United States
Facilitated by Dr. Jill Carroll

The world’s religions are among the most impactful and enduring of human cultural products. We humans have been “religious” for nearly as long as we’ve been human. The world’s religions help us ask and answer the deepest, most persistent questions of our existence: Who are we? How did we get here? What is the meaning of our lives? How should we live? What happens when we die? Why is there evil in the world, and more.

In this workshop, we will take a 30,000 foot view of the world’s great religions in order to understand what exactly makes something a religion, and also to learn the basic building blocks that nearly all religions share. After attending this workshop, attendees will be able to easily access the key elements of any religion they may encounter in their lives, and will know how to appreciate that religion for what it offers its adherents.

Cost $35.00 Register here.

Childcare will be available. To ensure a spot for your child, please complete this CHILDCARE REQUEST FORM one week in advance.

“Cruzando el Umbral: Revelación”

Giovana Specht

La transformación espiritual requiere que soltemos antiguas formas de ser, aquellas identidades, creencias y seguridades que alguna vez nos dieron sentido, pero que ya no pueden sostener el crecimiento de nuestra alma. Este proceso rara vez es cómodo. Para muchos, llega a través de un evento inesperado y transformador que jamás hubiéramos podido anticipar ni planear. A menudo nos sorprende y hasta nos descoloca, pues sentimos que se nos empuja a un territorio desconocido.

En ese cruce, somos iniciados en un mundo interior que no sabíamos que existía, un espacio más vasto, más profundo, donde lo divino nos habla de nuevas maneras. No lo hubiéramos elegido conscientemente, pero la experiencia misma se convierte en el portal hacia nuestro despertar.

Y en medio de la aparente pérdida o ruptura, algo sagrado se revela: la luz de nuestra alma, que antes permanecía oculta tras capas de miedo o conformidad, comienza a brillar con claridad. En ese resplandor descubrimos no solo quiénes somos realmente, sino también quiénes estamos llamados a ser.

¡Te invitamos a que nos acompañes este domingo!

Afirmación: Estoy dispuesto a revelar mi yo más auténtico. Soy la luz del mundo. Brillo. Soy libre.
