Regional News & Updates
Unity Worldwide Convention
Our region had eleven representatives at the Unity Worldwide Convention - including three first timers. (Two of those were brand new UWSI ministry students). It was a very nourishing experience, especially since we were back at the Village. Our time included a rollicking Juneteenth celebration. We only wish you could have all been there.

Leap Event
If you tuned into the Leap Event in early June, you watched presentations that showcased an Arts library, events beyond church walls, curriculum for the WeSpace Mystical Prayer training, and a program to get young adults more involved in Unity. Unity Arts Ministry was the winner. They will be developing an online system that allows all of us to access their lesson plans and bring more creativity to our communities.

Denise Rosier Music
Denise Rosier, the wonderful musician for the convention, has generously shared her most popular songs. She says:
“I had an awesome time performing at the Unity Convention last week, and received some helpful requests regarding my music. One of them was to put my sing-along songs on YouTube. So, here they are!
I created a special SING-ALONG VIDEO SECTION on my YouTube channel where you can find 12 easy to follow lyric videos of my most requested inspirational sing-alongs. Link: https://youtube.com/playlist...
You can also download free lyrics and chord charts for these songs on my website: https://www.deniserosier.com/chords
Whether they find their way into your daily spiritual practice, or your in-house or livestream services, I hope they lift you up!”
