New Member Class
Sundays, Oct. 6 and 13
12:30 - 2 pm
New to Unity? Been here for a while, but never gotten around to being a member? Come to our next new member class, held Sundays, October 6th and 13th after service. Class will be from 12:30 to 2:00 PM, so plenty of time to eat lunch and socialize in the Friendship Hall following service.
The first Sunday will be about Unity itself - some history, theology, and our larger organizations (Unity Worldwide Ministries and Unity World Headquarters at Unity Village). The second Sunday will focus on Unity of Bellevue, who we are, how we operate, and what we expect members to do. You will need to attend both Sunday classes to qualify for membership. New members will be installed on Sunday, October 20th during Service.
Existing members are welcome to attend, as well!
