Men’s Group

Third Saturday of each month: 9:00—11:30 am

“At some point in time, a man needs to embark on a risky journey. It’s a necessary adventure that takes him into uncertainty, and almost always involves some form of difficulty or failure. On this journey, the man
learns to trust God more than he trusts a sense of right and wrong or his own sense of self-worth.

… Often we mistake the roles we play for authentic living. But eventually, a man begins to sense that something is missing. He may experience this call to awareness as a beckoning whisper, a powerful dream, or a sudden stark life change — but no matter how it shows up, it needs to be heeded.”


(From “On the Threshold of Transformation, Daily Meditations for Men, by R. Rohr, Day 1)

LGBTQ

Rejection and Religion to Find Truth

With raw, powerful stories from the LGBTQ community—including Unity ministers and others who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning—Worthy is a booklet offering spiritual support from LGBTQ writers who overcame years of rejection to see themselves as dynamic expressions of God.

The booklet explores journeys of addiction and recovery, marriage, parenthood, abuse, and coming out, with topics including: 

  • Coming to Terms
  • Healing from Religion
  • Creating Families
  • Transforming Gender
  • Knowing My Worth

These stories of healing—of never giving up the search for spiritual understanding and of self-acceptance—have endings that are not simply happy but full of gratitude and love.

The title for this LGBTQ inspirational booklet comes from Rev. Mark Anthony Lord, who said, after his own painful journey:

“I am so flippin’ worthy it’s ridiculous!”

ONGOERS

4th Friday of every month at 11:30am

The Ongoers are a community of seniors & retired adults, who through unity beliefs and practices support, nurture and enjoy each other, often sharing a meal.  Meetings are held on the 4th Friday each month at a local restaurant. Topics for the meetings range from what is going on at Unity of Portland, to checking in on the church outreach programs; of particular interest is supporting the  Community Transitional School for homeless children.  This is a great place to meet people who come to Unity of Portland and find out about their rich lives and their love for Unity.
