Rev. Heidi Alfrey Speaking at Unity of Ventura, September 11

Rev. Heidi Alfrey is the featured speaker at Unity of Ventura, Sunday, September 11. Services are at 10 a.m. the Santa Paula Room in the Poinsettia Pavilion (3451 Foothill Rd., Ventura). Her topic is: The Highest Calling.

Rev. Heidi explains: September 11 will always be a day that we remember with shock and dismay, but also with great appreciation and awe of the many heroic, selfless actions of the first responders and so many others. Sunday's talk will focus on the incredible love and unity that always reveals itself post-crisis and is part of our DNA. It is not only what our country is about, but about who we are as spiritual beings and global citizens.

"When Americans lend a hand to one another, nothing is impossible. We’re not about what happened on 9/11. We’re about what happened on 9/12." – Jeff Parness (Creator of 'New York Says Thank You')

Rev. Heidi served in Unity ministries in Ft Lauderdale, Maui, Kansas City, Chicago (as senior minister) and Santa Barbara. Rev. Heidi’s philosophy is that we are all “diamonds in the rough.” As Michelangelo taught, one just needs to “chip off” what is not part of the masterpiece that is you.

Music during the service will be provided by Smitty and Juljia, Ojai-based artists known for their uplifting sounds and beautiful vocal harmonies. Unity of Ventura celebrates diversity and honors our Oneness. All lifestyles, faiths, genders and ethnicities are welcome. Following the service is an informal gathering for coffee/tea/snacks on the Poinsettia Pavilion patio with its panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean.
