Unity EarthCare Tip of the Month

April, 2026


For 2026, all twelve months of tips will follow a common theme: 12 Powers for our Planet, based on the national Unity EarthCare program. The Unity 12 Powers will also be explored yearlong at USCW through our Fourth Sunday themed services.


This month we explore the power of Strength.


Power 4 – Wisdom


There are multiple connections between the Power of Wisdom and our natural world. Sometimes we downplay the wisdom of nature itself.

  • We live on a magnificent planet with continual rhythms, bounty, and intelligence.

  • The world knows how to keep going without human intervention. The seasons change. Plants and animals grow, prosper and die – giving new life to more creation.

  • Even the weeds we detest in our gardens are part of nature’s wisdom, showing us the kinds of plants that can thrive in our little corner of the world.

  • Acknowledging the wisdom of nature helps us to feel the omnipresence of the Creator and to deepen our feeling of oneness with the natural world on which we love.


And we sometimes find ourselves searching for the Power of Wisdom within people, the understanding of the importance of our natural world and to respect it as our home, not trash it like some enemy to be conquered.


Every little action that goes against our world is an insult to wisdom. We need to remember our ability to make wise choices in lifestyle, use of energy and materials, and in how we treat the flora and fauna of our world.

Unity EarthCare Tip of the Month

March, 2026


For 2026, all twelve months of tips will follow a common theme: 12 Powers for our Planet, based on the national Unity EarthCare program. The Unity 12 Powers will also be explored yearlong at USCW through our Fourth Sunday themed services.


This month we explore the power of Strength.


Power 3 – Strength


  • Divine Strength is the divine idea of enduring integrity.

  • Greater than ‘muscling’ through challenges, more than dogged persistence, Divine Strength is the divine design to endure as the integrity of Oneness and interdependence. 

  • The spiritual principle of strength involves the ability to stand strong in our Truth, even in the face of challenging circumstances.

  • It is part of what enables us to be kind even when being treated unkindly and to act and think lovingly even in challenging interactions.

  • Spiritual strength includes the ability to know who and what we are and what our value is without needing validation from friends, family, lovers, or society.

  • Jesus provided a profound example of spiritual strength. 


One modern example of the link between the Power of Strength and our natural environment is biomimicry. Scientists view nature as a model, mentor, and measure, and asks how we as humans can, like other species, create conditions conducive to life. Often, we employ biomimicry because we recognize the inherent strength in nature’s designs. For example, green architecture utilizes ideas for living roofs that are inspired by trees that breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.

This month we explore begin with the power of Love.


Power 2 – Love 


  • As a spiritual power, love goes far beyond feelings, attachments, or individual relationships. 

  • Love is a universal harmonizing and unifying principle. 

  • As we develop the power of love within ourselves, our sense of oneness expands. 

  • The power of love in our world is incontestable and also so misunderstood. 

  • Yet love is the great motivator for action, and the necessary ingredient to bring people of opposing views into a common understanding of interdependence. 

  • Spiritually we learn interdependence is the way of love and that which we call God, as Love through us, does not guide one view, one person, one species–separate from all else, any more than the Sun guides one ray of light to only one atom.  


Myrtle and Charles Fillmore spoke and wrote a lot about the connection between love and nature. 


EarthCare Tip

The harmonizing power of Love enables us to cooperate, and to forgive. This is a useful power as we sit in the paradox of loving nature and staying above attack thoughts or words toward those who are harming it.
