Mary McMahon Celebration of Life Service
On Thursday, April 27, our dear friend Mary McMahon made her transition peacefully in her sleep. Mary did not want a "big fuss" so we are coming together after the Sunday Service to make a "little fuss" as we celebrate her life and bless her on her ongoing spiritual journey.
Sunday, June 4, 2023 @ 11:15 am in the Unity Palo Alto Sanctuary
Donations in Mary's honor may be directed toward Unity Palo Alto Spiritual Center at https://www.UnityPaloAlto.org/givenow.
Unity Palo Alto Prayer Service
2nd Sunday of the Month
With Casey Wicker, Licenced Unity Teacher
A part of the Sunday Zoom Experience - Register on Zoom
All are invited to infuse our community prayer requests with love and blessings before we send them off to Silent Unity, where they will be held in prayer for 30 days. This meditation service is the same sacred practice used by Silent Unity — one heart, one voice in prayer, affirming the light within.
Sharing Our Abundance
Each month, Unity Palo Alto shares a portion of our donations with a safety-net organization serving the San Francisco Bay Area. This month, we are sharing our abundance with:
Every Monday Matters
Every Monday Matter’s (EMM) mission is to create a world where every child knows how much and why they matter. Our EMM K-12 Social and Emotional Learning program now reaches over 3 million students and is used by over 18,000 educators nationwide. California is by far our largest market, and your community is one of our biggest. We currently reach thousands of students in Palo Alto, San Jose, Campbell, Santa Clara, and more. Our annual budget at EMM is under one million dollars, so donations like yours really matter to us. They allow us to bring these programs to neighborhoods and communities at no cost, which is big since 80% of the students we reach are on free and reduced lunch.
Unity’s donation will allow EMM to deliver YOU MATTER merchandise to our educators in the Palo Alto area who can then share them with their students – buttons, wristbands, stickers, etc. and help scholarship professional development workshops for staff.
