Transforming Lives, One Heart at a Time
Unity of Roseville Prayer Chaplains are available to pray with you after each Sunday service...we are easily seen wearing a purple stole. We are open and receptive to any one who would like prayer. Listening, and holding your words in the strictest of confidence, we pray with you.
Your Unity Prayer Chaplains, Thomas Hushen-Fisher, Bobbie Spivey and Debra Moody have received advanced training to be Unity of Roseville Prayer Chaplain “Trainers” by the program's founder, Rev. Lei Lanni Burt.
What Is a Unity Prayer Chaplain?
Unity of Roseville has a team of trained, committed Prayer Chaplains who will stand with you in prayer. They will listen and acknowledge your challenges and joys, and speak the spiritual Truth, so that you can hear it and remember it for yourself.
The role of your Prayer Chaplains is, quite simply, to pray. Chaplains are not counselors or advice-givers. The core of the Prayer Chaplain commitment is to:
• Hold spiritual space. To hold spiritual space means to stay in a space of non-judgment, to be open to the highest possibilities of Divine Intelligence, and to see the Christ Light in the face of the person to whom they are listening.
• Lovingly listen. To lovingly listen means to listen with an open heart, without judgment, and to be completely focused on and available to you.
• Pray from the heart. To pray from the heart means to drop the focus from their head to their heart-space, to listen to the guidance of the Divine and to speak authentically, remembering that this is a prayer, not a performance!
• Hold in confidence what is shared. The last essential piece is a commitment to confidentiality. Chaplains know that a sacred trust is placed in them, and that their commitment to confidentiality is the foundation for you feeling safe enough to open your hearts and share your stories. Without this last and important piece, the Prayer Chaplain Program could not exist.
A Unity Prayer Chaplain is:
- Someone who is here to support you on your spiritual journey.
- Someone who will create and hold a spiritual space with you.
- Someone who will listen to you and hold what is heard in strictest confidence.
- Someone who will pray with you.
Unity Prayer Chaplains are trained to do 4 things for Unity of Roseville congregants:
1. Hold spiritual space.
2. Listen.
3. Pray one-to-one with any individual who asks.
4. Hold what is heard in absolute confidence.
Monthly Wellness Calls:
Prayer chaplains make monthly wellness calls to congregants who would like to receive them. You do not need to be a member of the church to receive a wellness call, but we do ask that you attend Unity of Roseville and consider this to be your church home. If you choose to be on our wellness calling list you will receive monthly phone calls from your assigned prayer chaplain. If they are unable to reach you by phone they will leave an affirmation or blessing on your voice mail or write you a note. In addition, Unity of Roseville Prayer Chaplains pray regularly for all those on their calling lists. If you would like to be on a prayer chaplain calling list, please send a message to Unity of Roseville from our website www.unityroseville.com or sign up after service on Sundays.
