The holiday season is in full bloom at Unity Church of Overland Park, and our community is buzzing with music, meaning, and moments that open the heart. From spirited concerts to contemplative rituals, from healing circles to creative workshops, we’re entering a stretch of holy days designed to uplift, renew, and reconnect you with your inner light.
Here’s everything happening at UCOP from now through January 4, including special services, holy-day rituals, and opportunities to gather in community.
❤️ Tap here to feel the love unfolding.
The Cosmic Advent journey hits a joyful crescendo with our Holiday Jamboree—featuring powerhouse vocals from EnVee, smooth soul from Pancho Javier, and a whole lotta spirit from Rev. Fred and the UCOP Band! This day of Love also happens to be Rev. Jacquie’s birthday — how perfect for us to celebrate the power of love!
Our theme is LOVE—not the abstract kind, but the love that shows up:
💝 The Magi brought treasures.
🪔 Jesus knelt with a basin and towel.
✨ This is love that pours itself out—embodied, generous, alive.
“They opened their treasures…” – Matthew 2:11
Come ready to give and receive something sacred: community, music, and presence. Let this Love become manifest through you.
Joy. Groove. Meaning. Magic.
It’s not just a concert. It’s a cosmic call to love.
Feeling blue? Grieving? Holiday stress got you down?
A Gathering of Remembrance, Hope, and Compassion
Come together in remembrance and hope at UCOP’s Healing Light Service — a gentle space for comfort, reflection, and supportive community during the holiday season.
With our ministers and prayer chaplains, we’ll share a sacred time of love and understanding, reminding each other that no one walks this journey alone.
🎶 Special Music by Kelley Hunt

Experience the healing power of sound and community in this participatory circle of song, chant, and movement.
In this 90 minute workshop, Patricia will guide participants through a series of experiential group exercises designed to calm the nervous system and foster joy and community – gentle vocal warm ups and stretching, healing breath and humming, call and response, chanting and lifting our voices together in harmony. You will leave renewed, energized and uplifted, and ready to experience the holiday season more fully and deeply and with more joy.
No musical experience required—just an open heart and a willingness to join the harmony. If you can talk, you can sing.

🔥 Step into 2026 with Intention—details here!
The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity ritual that will help you release old beliefs, stories, and ideas as you step into the New Year – ready to receive all the Universe has in store for you! All are welcome to join in person or online!
Join Revs. Jacquie Fernandez as we step through this sacred ritual. Kelley Hunt and the UCOP Band will inspire and uplift with music that warms the heart as we welcome 2026.
🔥 🔮 Curious what your White Stone will hold for you?
Join us Sunday, January 4, 2026 during our Sunday Celebration for the White Stone Ceremony—a beloved Unity tradition that symbolizes new beginnings.
During the ceremony, you’ll receive a Jerusalem stone to hold as Spirit reveals a word or name for you to work with throughout the year. Guided meditation will help you listen to your inner self, not your logical mind, as you discover this personal message from Spirit.
Inspired by Revelation 2:17, the white stone represents freedom, renewal, and a new identity—a beautiful way to start the year with intention.
All are welcome! Receive your word, reflect, and step into 2026 with purpose and spiritual guidance.
🔥 🎨 Want to create a vision board that brings your dreams to life? Click for tickets!
Set your intentions for the New Year and create a beautiful collage of your dreams. Rev. Jen Hutchins, founder of Unity Arts Ministry, will guide you through a heart-centered approach that incorporates intuitive wisdom and meditation. Behind the simple cut-and-paste creative process is a powerful spiritual law: what we hold in our minds and hearts, we bring forth into our lives.
No prior artistic experience is needed. Pre-registration required.
All materials are provided. Please feel free to bring old magazines or photos to include on your board.
