TIMEWAVE 2013
Unity Center for Spiritual Living, 7300 Mallard Creek Road

“Timewave 2013 is a powerful and poignant film with a deep spiritual and intellectual
message. It offers insight into the turbulent and transformative nature of the times
in which we are living as well as hope for the future of humanity.” The new millennium
has proven to be the next “age of enlightenment.” Everywhere you look, fascinating
ideas are being presented and old standards are being challenged. While firmly
based in a rich perspective on our past history, and a new understanding of the nature
of the times we live in, Timewave 2013 offers a clear, yet positive vision of what is to
come. For information call: 704-599-2056 or email - revjulie3@carolina.rr.com
