“Inspired … to do Extraordinary Things”
Unity Minneapolis 2026 September Music Series
We all have heard stories about people who have done amazing things. There are many stories about people that we know and many more stories about people that we are unaware of that have done extraordinary things. Often these actions and ideas are fueled by our present surroundings, a hope for a brighter future, a discovery from our past or perhaps an awakening to how we are all connected into one big global community. When we are inspired and join together it’s possible to do great things for humanity.
This year’s September Music Series is a bit different from ones in the past. Over the years the month has focused on different styles of music, different composers and artists, or different periods in history and the music associated with them.
This year is kind of a hybrid of all of them along with showcasing four different people in four different capacities doing extraordinary things.
Each Sunday will have a different focus on someone inspired to do an extraordinary thing and will be paired with music that highlights the inspiration behind their drive to make a difference in the world.
The journey of doing extraordinary things starts in North Minneapolis and travels the US and the world and ends up back in Minneapolis.
Sunday, September 6th - “Inspired to Serve” - (Mary Jo Copeland)
The first Sunday is about serving our community, caring for our neighbors and living out Jesus’ words.
Sunday, September 13th - “Inspired to Make a Lasting Difference”- (Margaret Cargill)
(that will be felt for generations to come …)
The second Sunday (9/13) is about investing in the future and the generations to come.
Sunday, September 20th - “Inspired to Follow Your Heart” - (Maya Lin)
The third Sunday (9/20) is about being inspired to do or create something and not listening to words from the outside …. But instead following the strong conviction and creative energy that your heart is fueling you to follow it through … no matter what.
Sunday, September 27th - “Inspired to have Courage and Steadfastness” - (Bishop Mariann Budde) Even amid challenges and uncertainty. (Steadfastness is the quality of being firm, loyal and unwavering. It means staying completely dedicated to a person, goal or belief without changing your mind or giving up even when things get very hard.)
The overall Sunday Series illustrates the connection between acts and actions that occur in our local communities and the national and global impact they can have. We all are one … we CAN make a difference.
