Best Practices in Expansion Ministries◊ What are expansions doing to

introduce people to Unity that is actually working?

◊ What are some new and innovative things that expansions are trying?

◊ Who is space sharing, and who are you sharing space with?

Thanks to Lynnette Brouwer, Unity of Payson, Arizona,

for suggesting these key questions.
