On Sunday, Feb. 2,
starting at 10 a.m. at the
Florence Unitarian Uni-
versalist Fellowship, Dr.
Marcia Pearce will share
a message titled, “Be
Kinder to Yourself, More
Than You Have Ever
Been Before.”
Author Dr. Ernest
Holmes once said, “Every
person is surrounded by
a thought atmosphere.”
As with many things,
Holmes was way ahead of
his time.
Those ‘atmospheres’
can now be measured by
scientific instruments.
Pearce says, “Our
thought
atmosphere
contains our own magic
medicine. We can learn
how to let it radiate for
our own best healing.”
The fellowship, located
at 87738 Highway 101 (at
Heceta Beach Road), is
wheelchair accessible.
Each service concludes
with refreshments and a
dialogue circle to explore
the ques-tions that come
up during each worship
service.
