Featured Volunteer Teri Ward

As Teri Ward moves to Arizona this weekend, let’s appreciate and thank her for her numerous volunteer activities at the Center. Teri began attending the Center in the 1990s. She’s been an usher, served on the Hospitality Team, shopped for supplies, helped shop for the summer family picnic, and she also served by cleaning the Center’s kitchens. She did all of this from a loving place, with joy and pleasure. Thank you, Teri. We will miss you!

Science of Mind Archives Relocated and Reopened

I have wanted to visit Unity Village since I first became aware of it, and being at the opening celebration of the Science of Mind archives gave me a perfect opportunity to do that. I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be.
