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

2025 Annual End-of-Year Fund Drive!
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
2025-26 Holiday Letter and Schedule
A Season of Sacred Illumination
Dear Friends,
As November draws to a close, we enter the sacred season of Advent—a time of anticipation, reflection, and renewal. In Christian tradition, Advent heralds the coming of the Christ Child. Metaphysically, it signifies the awakening of the indwelling Spirit—the birth of Divine Awareness within the heart of humanity.
This holy season invites us to honor the inner light that lives in every soul. Whether celebrated as the Christ Light, the flames of Hanukkah, the return of the sun, or the quiet radiance of awakening consciousness, this Light is universal, eternal, and alive within us all.
Throughout the four weeks before Christmas, we are called to embody Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. This year, we will reflect on these qualities through scenes from One Magic Christmas, a film that tenderly mirrors the soul’s journey from despair to wonder.
Ginnie Grainger begins the film weary and without faith, unable to perceive goodness or possibility. Yet signs of Divine Light and Divine Life gently persist—her children’s unshakable belief in possibility, Jack’s steadfast love, and the angel Gideon’s patient guidance. Through them, Ginnie is reminded of what she once knew: that Hope is real, Peace is possible, Love is ever-present, and Joy can be reborn.
Just as Ginnie awakens to the miracle within and around her, we too are invited to notice the gentle rebirth of Divine Presence in our own hearts and to let the Light within us shine more fully.
Let us embody Hope as the inner flame that refuses to go out, even when life feels heavy.
Let us live Peace by dwelling in the still center of Being.
Let us radiate Love through compassionate presence.
Let us know Joy as the natural song of the awakened soul.
May this season inspire us to share our Light generously—brightening our homes, our community, and our world.
I warmly invite you to join us at Unity by the Shore for our holiday services and events. Please see the schedule below.
With blessings of Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy,
Rev. Angela
