UPDATE MARCH 21st, 2020 - in support of the health of our community - and our community encompasses the world - Unity is not meeting in person for the month of March for Sunday Celebration services, classes or other events. The Board of Trustees will re-evaluate the situation at the end of March. Until then, we are working diligently to expand virtual services, as well as support needs of the congregation. If you know of anyone who needs help with groceries, picking up prescriptions, needing a phone call, please call the church office and we will do our best to be supportive.
Wash your hands. Keep your 6-foot distance. Touch others with Pray and Love with joyful abandon.
As the Unity building recovers from the September 8th, 2019 fire, meet us at The Fledge.
UNITY AT THE FLEDGE
Our neighbors have been kind enough to invite us to use the sanctuary space at this neighborhood creative incubator.
Each Sunday morning, the Celebration Team and Fellowship team prepare the space for service. We can accommodate up to 120 people. Parking is available at the Ronald McDonald parking lot on Sundays, as well as the Unity lot.
Located at 1300 Eureka, the building is one block north of the Unity building.
The main level of the Fledge is handicap accessible with an outside ramp on the Holmes Street side of the building. There is a bathroom on the main level off the entry way. Fellowship time is also held on the sanctuary level. Sunday SALT (Sunday Adult Learning Time) is held on the lower level, first door on the right.
The Fledge is a radically inclusive environment serving neighbors, immigrants, newly returning citizens, and more. It helps people learn practicle skills and guides them to start their own businesses. The Fledge operates on values over rules.
The lower level contains a kitchen, an T shirt print company, several recording studios and an open conversation space as well as the room we use for our Sunday SALT sesions. There are always projects in progress.
The lobby is a store for products created by members at the Fledge. The yard is a variety of vegetation. All produce is available to whomever needs it.
You will also find racks of clothes for free for anyone in need.
WEEKDAY OFFICES have been relocated to 1426 E. Michigan Avenue, across from the Soup Spoon while we undergo the restoration process to 230 S. Holmes Street. Phone number remains the same 517 371-3010
"PHOENIX OFFICES" 1426 E. Michigan Avenue
We are up and running. You'll find the offices directly across from Soup Spoon and Fabianos Chocolates.
Some things to know:
1. There are several parking spaces behind the building and more parking across the street.
2. There is a ramp to the back door for anyone experiencing mobility challenges. We are asking people to use the front door unless they are mobility challenged, as the back door opens directly into the Administrators office.
3. There is a bathroom, a water cooler and an open space. The National Association of Social Workers Michigan gifted us with a couple of dozen stackable chairs.
4. Office is open 10 - 3 Monday - Thursday. There is often someone there at other times, but call first if you are planning to stop in on other days or other hours.
