Fellowship Sunday

Black History Celebration

February 22, 2026 March 8, 2026

10:30 AM

Let us come together on February 22, 2026 March 8, 2026, at 10:30 AM for a special service. During our time together, we will reflect on the inspiring words of James Baldwin—American writer, essayist, and moral voice—whose work continues to inspire truth, courage, and love.

We are grateful to have Ben Wilton with us again, sharing his gift of song to enrich our time together.

On Black History Sunday, it has been a Unity by the Shore tradition to bring a dish to share that represents soul food to you. Following the service, we will have the opportunity to connect in fellowship as we enjoy one another’s soulful bites. If you are joining us via Zoom, you are invited to celebrate by enjoying your favorite soul-filled dish from the comfort of your home.

I hope all our local peeps will join us in person this Sunday! I look forward to seeing each of you—both in person and on Zoom.

Love,
Rev. Angela

A Season for Giving
2025 End of the Year Fund Drive

Dear Unity Community,

I would like to thank all of you who have already contributed to kick off our 2025 End-of-Year Fund Drive, and put our first stripes on the candy cane!

December is all about love, so let’s show our love for our spiritual community by contributing what is ours to give towards it’s maintenance, so that we all may continue to grow and thrive together!

The status quo is not an option, friends! Our income has not met our expenses again this year. Although we were much closer than last year, we still had to withdraw a considerable amount from our no-longer-so-considerable savings in order to make ends meet.

This is obviously not a sustainable model, so we have set an ambitious goal of $12,000 for our end-of-year fundraiser. By committing to use our power of discernment to determine what is ours to give—and by remaining open to other sources of income—we can help our community thrive and grow. We can enter fully into the flow of divine prosperity by giving fully to, and receiving fully from, all that our beloved Unity by the Shore has to offer!

To celebrate our collective progress, a festive candy cane will be displayed in the sanctuary of Unity by the Shore, with each stripe representing $1,000.

End-of-year gifts may be made in all the usual ways. Any gift made before January 16, 2026, will be credited to this Annual Fund Drive.

Please notate in the memo: Annual Fundraiser
1.) In person
2.) Mailing a check to: Unity by the Shore, 3508 Asbury Ave., Neptune, NJ 07753
3.) Electronically

Let us join together, hearts united in Divine Love, to support our community as it continues to uplift, awaken, and bless all who enter.

Blessings,
Lindy Stork
Treasurer Unity by the Shore
