Rev. Russ: “What’s YOUR elevator speech?” – May 3, 2022

How do you describe what Unity of Fairfax is?

I am offering of three of my own descriptions. Guidelines: 100 words, max.  Using a normal speaking voice, how long is it? What "buzz words" are useful?

  1. "Unity is a member ministry of Unity Worldwide Ministries which promotes a positive path for spiritual living. Unity teaches spiritual principles and practices that lead to peace of mind and peace on earth. Essential to our teaching is the understanding all people are connected to nature and one another. Grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition, Unity of Fairfax supports a supportive community, facilitates public service and encourages interfaith engagement."

So, I ask you. Write out an elevator speech or two, time it out, count the words, and send them to me. These will be very helpful as we go forward in our process to "Renew in 22" and let the world know how awesome Unity of Fairfax is and what a wonderful contribution it makes in the world.
