We inspire, ignite, and invigorate ourselves to pave our spiritual path.
V i s i o n
We envision a world that gives, embraces, embodies and expresses
unity.
Here are some simple reminders that will help everyone have a wonderful experience while attending Sunday Service:
As part of First Unity’s effort, the organization generally requests
congregants and guests to maintain a neat and clean appearance that is appropriate for Sunday Service. Recognizing that congregants and visitors to our services may have sensitivity or allergic reactions to various fragrant products, First Unity requests to limit fragrances while attending services.
To honor our sacred space, only service animals are allowed in service. To help keep our Sanctuary clean, only bottled water is allowed in the
Sanctuary. First Unity is a SMOKE-FREE campus. No smoking is permitted on the
grounds. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
