In ancient times, there was a prayer for "The Stranger Within Our Gates."

It was our pleasure to have you visit our church and though you may not have been here before, you were not a stranger but an honored guest. We hope your experience was positive and that you left inspired.

We who arrived here first did so in order that this place would be warm and friendly--and alive with the presence of God when you came. We hope you found it so, and that you were comfortable in our midst. We wanted you to feel as peaceful and happy as if you were in your own home. We hope that the inspiration that brought you here will cause you to return.

In the meantime, it is our prayer that these days will be pleasant for you, that God will fill you with the courage to face all things, grant you the strength to help those you meet and cause your life to be a joy to those who know and love you best.

With love and blessings,

Wendy Craig-Purcell

Minister

I want to acknowledge your recent visits to Church of Today and tell you how honored I am that you’ve been attending. Because there are so many things to do on a Sunday morning, I don’t take lightly the time you’ve been spending with us.

When I was introduced to Unity, I found a Spiritual Path that made sense to me. I found a Path that teaches there is one God; but many ways to find that one God. I found a Path that did not insult my intelligence, that affirmed my intrinsic worth while helping me to overcome my shortcomings, that encouraged me to stretch toward my goals and that did not manipulate me with fear or guilt.

As I’ve grown in my understanding of God and in the practice of spiritual principles, my life has really changed. There is no emptiness or haunting feeling that something is missing. There is meaning and purpose and a tremendous sense of contentment. My life is working better than it ever has before.

As you explore and deepen your own spirituality, I believe you will experience this, too.

There is one God, called by many different names and found through many different Paths. Whichever Path leads you to a greater understanding of God, is the right Path for you. I hope you find that Path here at Church of Today!

Sincerely,

Wendy Craig-Purcell
