Welcome to Living Water Spiritual Community
Living Water Spiritual Community is a joyful and supportive Unity community based in Arvada, Colorado. Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual's right to choose a spiritual path.
Whatever your religious upbringing, we invite you to join us for our weekly congregational services. Our various guest speakers draw from their own life experiences and the teachings of numerous wise teachers, including Jesus the Christ, our way-shower. We use their lessons to enlighten, inspire, and prepare us to apply “practical Christianity” in our lives.
We meet every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. (Mountain Time) via a combination of in-person and virtual gatherings. See calendar for details on which services are in-person. Join us for music, affirmative prayers, meditation, fellowship, and an uplifting message intended to strike a Divine spark in you. We are all connected in Spirit, and we hope you feel at home with us.
**PLEASE NOTE: For our in-person services, we encourage attendees to be vaccinated, but it is not required to attend. Masks are optional. Please do not attend if you have any symptoms of illness, fever, or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19 within the last 10 days.

WISDOM FOR THE WEEK - Offered by Rev. Catherine Klein, Minister of Record
AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION
Unity’s Fifth Principle says: It’s not enough to know the Truth; we must live the Truth we know.
Living our Truth begins with authentic, heart-centered communication. The quality of our relationships, both personal and professional, depends on our willingness to say what we are led to say without anger or blame.
When we blame others for how we feel, we give them the power to control our inner landscape and thus determine what we say and how we say it. If we are honest with ourselves, we realize that nobody can make us feel anything without our consent. We are co-creators, not victims.
Through practice, we can cultivate the art of authentic, responsible communication. No subject is too controversial or sensitive to talk about as long as we are committed to conveying our own thoughts, feelings, and experience. Pausing to take a breath before speaking helps us reclaim our center so that we can respond mindfully rather than react unconsciously.
Affirmation: Today, I strengthen my relationships through authentic, responsible communication.
