PRAYER
The Unity movement was founded in prayer. Co-founder Myrtle Fillmore used prayer and meditation to heal herself of life-long physical dis-ease. Her 
husband, Charles Fillmore followed suit after observing the results of Myrtle's work. At UnityCR, we serve our congregation through a variety of prayer ministries and activities.
husband, Charles Fillmore followed suit after observing the results of Myrtle's work. At UnityCR, we serve our congregation through a variety of prayer ministries and activities. In December 2009, UnityCR demonstrated the power of prayer through a 40-hour Prayer-a-Thon. During that time, nearly 20 individuals participated in various forms of prayer, from meditation to singing and drumming. Their prayer time was supported through pledges. The Prayer-a-Thon raised $7,500 with 15 percent going to the Linn Community Food Bank.
The following are our prayer ministries:
PRAYER TREE:
Our Prayer Tree has been in place for many years. Requests are confidential and sent via an email chain using first names only. This ministry, consisting of over 25 power pray-ers, will hold your request in prayer for 30 days. Our Prayer Tree members are trained in Unity’s Affirmative Prayer model. After 30 days, all prayer requests are also mailed to Silent Unity at Unity’s world headquarters. There, your request is held in prayer for another 30 days.
