Rev. Heidi Alfrey is the featured speaker at Unity of Ventura, Sunday, June 18. Services are at 10:00 a.m. in "The Chapel" at the Ventura Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 6300 Telephone Rd. in Ventura. This Sunday is the second in a series of talks entitled “The Summer of Love,” inspired by the spiritual messages in the lyrics of certain Beatles songs. As Rev. Heidi puts it: “These four gentlemen changed the world by writing from their hearts as they navigated their lives, the ups and the downs. Beatlemania is still alive in our hearts as we remember … all you need is love!”

Rev. Heidi’s topic this week is “Nowhere Man (Now Here) Man.” She explains: “This song, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, relates to a man who has no direction and no worldview. Embarking on a spiritual path gives us both direction and worldview from the inside out. As we shift the words from ‘Nowhere Man’ to ‘Now Here Man,’ we change the entire meaning to someone present in the NOW moment.”

Services are also available on Unity of Ventura Facebook.

Music during the service will be provided by Smitty and Juljia, Ojai-based artists known for their uplifting sounds and beautiful vocal harmonies. All lifestyles, faiths, genders and ethnicities are welcome. Following the service is an informal gathering. For more information, please call us at 805-653-1059 or go to www.UnityofVentura.org.
