Living Water Unity Church

Love.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking for a spiritual home. I absolutely loved attending Living Water Unity this morning.
It was a difficult few weeks in the world, with the earthquakes and tsunamis taking many lives throughout the notorious Ring of Fire. It was refreshing to have a minister not attribute the tragedies to the victims for «wrong» thinking (as happens in «fundamentalist» New Thought churches) or, as likely happened in many traditional Fundamentalist Christian churches, for not being Christian or the «right» type of Christian.
Thank you for that, Rev. David Ridge. Thank you for offering loving reflection rather than a ready-​made answer that condemns victims. Thank you for reminding us that no matter what happens, no matter where we are, God is with us, and all is well. Well said.
Services are held in an intimate space, in a neighborhood at the corner of 59^th and Vance. The church has a small band with a big voice that leads the congregation in song. The songs I heard were secular (Elvis Costello and Cindy Lauper) and sacred, weaving into the pastor’s message.
The congregation was warm, kind, and welcoming. Rev. Ridge proved approachable and generous. He has an easy smile and a warm handshake. I tend to be intuitive, especially when I can touch someone. This man is the real deal. Also, talk among members after the service was lively and fun. And, if you like cookies, the refreshments looked tasty (I stay away from sugar, but they sure smelled good), and there was plenty of coffee and tea to go around several times.
It looks like they have a ton of activities each month, from «A Course in Miracles» to a monthly bit of theater (called Theater C), a writers circle (which, I’ll try on Wednesday… can’t wait!), and far more things than I can list here. Their Web site has all the deatails.
Yes! I think this is the place for me. The Spirit is here. No question.
Namaste!
