Welcome to Unity of Reno 1

Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality. 2

we wish to see in the world. We must be the change we wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

you say in your entire life is “Thank you,” that will suffice… If the only prayer you say in your entire life is “Thank you,” that will suffice… Meister Eckhart 4

Our Mission Unity Ministry of Reno is a spiritual community centered in God, fostering spiritual growth, inner strength, integrity and learning. Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, faith, prayer and meditation, our loving family provides inspiration, healing and service to our church and community. 5

One Presence/One Power Unity believes: There is one Presence and one Power in the universe and in our lives, and that power is God. God is absolute Spirit , absolute good and everywhere present. 6

The Christ Individualized in Everyone Unity believes:  Human beings are expressions of God and have the spark of divinity, the Christ Spirit within.  Therefore, they are inherently good. 7

Law of Mind Action Unity believes:  Human beings create their own experiences by the activity of their thoughts.  "A thought held in mind produces after its own kind."  Positive thoughts produce positive results. Negative thoughts produce negative results. 8

Denials & Affirmations Unity believes:   Prayer is the link that connects us with God. Through affirmative prayer we bring forth good, and it is through denials we let go of negative thoughts that keep us from a greater experience of Good/God. 9

Prayer & Meditation Unity believes:   Prayer is communion with God either silently or audibly. Meditation is listening to or waiting upon God... man's spiritual approach to God. 10

Unity believes: Knowing and understanding the laws of life (Truth) are not enough.  We must also strive to live the Truth that we know. 11

We accept Jesus Christ as our spiritual teacher and recognize that the same Christ Spirit that was within Jesus is also within us. 12
