10:00 AM A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is an ongoing class Fridays, 10:00-11:30 a.m. with Mimi Coakley as leader. ACIM teaches an inner awakening to the awareness of love’s presence in both self and others. The Course teaches forgiveness as the one practice that will lead to spiritual awakening. Students of ACIM seek the ultimate goal of existence in a radically different mode of being than that found in this world. This mode of being is attained by unified vision with the Holy Spirit, or that part of the mind that sees all actions as rooted in love, or calls for love (fear.) Love Offering.
07:00 PM Movie: Something the Lord Made
You don’t have to spend a lot of money for a night out at the movies. Unity Community offers great films for a love offering, and popcorn is always free! Join us and bring your friends.


Based on true events, this is the story of Dr. Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, two pioneers in the field of cardiac surgery. Dr. Blalock is obnoxious and high on ego; yet he also has dedicated his career to saving lives, in particular “blue babies,” the tiny infants with heart abnormalities preventing the flow of oxygen, thus usually leading to their deaths.

Blalock hires Thomas, a quiet and unassuming African- American man, as a janitor in his lab at Vanderbilt, yet it soon becomes apparent to the surgeon that Thomas is a medical genius. Soon Vivien is promoted to lab technician, although still receiving a janitor’s pay. He becomes indispensable to Blalock’s research into open-heart surgery – a very risky proposition in the 1940s.

Once the surgery is successfully performed at Johns Hopkins University, it is Dr. Blalock who receives all the credit and accolades, while Thomas, a perpetual victim of Jim Crow, is ignored or shunned. Even Blalock himself refuses to publicly acknowledge Thomas, leading to a tension that temporarily ends their association. Yet in the end, many years later, Thomas receives his long overdue recognition at Johns Hopkins, in one of the most moving scenes you’ll ever experience.
