O Holy Night

The birth of the Christ child was the beginning of a spiritual awakening continuing to this day. The love and care of Jesus’ birth inspires a rebirth of our own spiritual connection.

As we express our love for family and friends, as we select gifts for loved ones, we are each affirming the value of love in our lives. God is love. The more we allow ourselves to feel and express our love, the deeper our spiritual rebirth becomes.

The Christmas carols, the manger scene and our beautiful Christmas services each call us to remember what is really important. They call us to recommit to living the love we really are. Let your heart enjoy the birth of your love into a whole new level of living this Christmas.

—Rev. David McArthur

I welcome this message O Holy Night by Rev David McArthur. I copied the complete text and plan to put it in a calligraphic and colorful format in order to re-tell the meaning of Christmas to my granddaughter and grown children. It's a great reminder for sharing blessings all around and creating smiles on our faces for remembrance of why we came together this day. We are swept up in the gale of present wanting and giving, and not having enough money this year to throw away on wonderful books and other things that we really didn't need in former years, and so turning to spirit is a big adventure that all will welcome. I wish all in Unity for a good Christmas season and a Happy New Year. Suzanne Cerny

Sometimes life gives us a glimpse of something so incredibly beautiful, that it is beyond the power of words to describe, something so wonderful and so exquisite, that all we can do is let our emotions and our hearts express what words cannot. The result is goosebumps and rivers of joyful tears. This is the voice and beauty of Jackie Evancho. In this wonderful Christmas CD Jackie gives us a little glimpse of Heaven as she sings "O Holy Night" in a voice so pure and clear it is like fine crystal. Her rendition is the best I have ever heard, and I predict that it will be broadcast and played in homes all across America this Holiday season. Just four tracks and a DVD of her previous appearances, but it is not to be missed. I highly recommend it.
