Release - Renounce - Let Go and The 8% Challenge

Release - Renounce - Let Go

There is mental clutter and spiritual clutter, an physical clutter, clutter is inside and out, Clutter is anything that slows down the circulation of life. Have too much inner clutter in your life, and body? Read on!

This Sunday at 10:30am, right before the Annual Burning Bowl Ceremony, the Unity Men's Dinner group will be hosting "The 8% Challenge"

What is The 8% Challenge?
Actually, I'm not completely sure, but it seems to have something to do with losing weight and eating and living a more healthy lifestyle. This is a major goal of many of our men.

The first weigh in is this Sunday at 10:30.

AND, since competition and team play seems to be a great motivator for many of us (probably part of he man thing), the goal is to be the first person to lose 8% of their body weight.

AND, since a competition would not be much without a reward, (man thing again) there is a pool ($20 to enter) and the winner wins the whole enchilada (fat free, of course).

In other words, Lose your Pot to Win the Pot!

BUT WAIT! The women have already started to protest. They want a private weigh-in, secret accounting of the numbers, and a gender separation (claiming their metabolisms lose weight at a slower rate), and the option to opt out of the pot.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN? HOW WILL THIS END?!! I don't know! The rules are being drawn up even as we speak.

But here is the message for today: eat and drink as much as you can over the next two days. And join us for some fun and the joy of letting go at the Burning Bowl Ceremony this Sunday.

And remember, you really are a Blessing!

Sky

Thoughts become things, so chose the good ones!

The Power of Release

The Power of Release

"Release is my ability to give a "no thank you" response to the untrue, undesirable or worn-out. It is my ability to forgive, free myself, break bad habits not be controlled, and let go. Release use the "vacuum principle" you letting go off mental and physical "stuff," so that God has space and place to be realized" -- Twelve Powers in You

Burning Bowl Ceremony is at Unity this Sunday at 11am - a great way to start the new year! Join us!

And remember, you really are a blessing!

Thoughts become things, so chose the good ones!

Preparing for the Burning Bowl at Unity

This Sunday, the first Sunday of the New Year will be Unity's annual burning bowl cerimony. I would like to invite you to come and release whatever may be holding you back! This is a great way to start off the New Year.

Please consider spending some thoughtful time this week considering your gifts and talents, what you would like to increase in your life, and what you would like to decrease. And if there is anything that is holding you back from a closer walk with your Source, please consider in prayer if this is a good time to let that thing go!

And remember, you really are a blessing!

Thoughts become things, so chose the good ones!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - It's that time again to prepare shoeboxes for Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child. The deadline is November 15 (I think). If you have never done this before this is how it works: take a shoebox and wrap the box and lid separately in Christmas wrap.  The breakdown is for ages 2-4 years, 5-9 years and 10- 14 years.  I will get labels that have this breakdown that will need to be affixed to the box and it also gives the breakdown if it is for a girl or boy.  (If you would just like to donate items for the boxes this would be greatly appreciated.  You can drop off loose items in the church office on Sunday mornings or anytime during the week.) Then you fill it with goodies (much of this can be found at the Dollar
Store), here are some suggestions: Toys:  Small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, small Etch-A-Sketch, Slinky, etc. School Supplies: Pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc. Hygiene Items: Toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.
Hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy) mints, gum,
t-shirts, socks, ball caps, sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches,
flashlights (with extra batteries). To help with postage we ask that you include a check made out to Samaritans Purse for $7.00.  Also if you would like to include a picture of yourself, family or group, this helps make the connection for the receiver of the gift.

IMPORTANT - Unity Bridge Road Survey

Hi Everyone!

I have been hearing so much enthusiasm for our Bridge Road project
and all sort of folks are coming forward with offers to help!
One member has pledged a gift of $2000, another $750, another free rubbish removal service,
another, free legal help, and another an $8,000 interest free loan!

I am wanting to gather together all the wonderful forms of prosperity
that are coming our way regarding the Bridge Road property.

I have also been hearing some concerns and hesitations. These are important,
and need a place to be heard as well. I am hoping the survey I have created will
allow room for both joys and concerns.

Please take a moment to consider the questions using the link below.
Your responses will be given anonymously.

The results will be available to everyone so we can get a sense of what everyone
is thinking and feeling!

Thanks!

Sky

Thank you God for the miracle that is my life!

Today's Daily Word - Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Contribution I am love in action, contributing to the well-being of others. God's love expresses through me to bless others. I perceive the people with whom I interact as the children of God they truly are. I look for opportunities to be of help, to appreciate and to make a positive contribution. I find many opportunities to give from my heart. I extend a wave and a warm smile to a neighbor, call or e-mail a friend or relative, or give time and attention to someone in need. I look beyond the outer persona of those who seem unfriendly or impolite and behold their true essence. For all those I meet or think of today, I say a silent blessing: I behold the Christ in you. I visualize you whole, happy, prosperous and peaceful. "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God."--1 John 4:7

Accept

I joyously accept God's blessings.

As I take a moment to acknowledge God's presence within and around me, I set the tone for the day ahead. Centered in God, I welcome this day with anticipation. The possibilities are endless, and the good is overflowing.

If an event or situation threatens to dampen my enthusiasm, I pause, take a deep breath, and re-center myself in the loving presence of Spirit.

With God, I have all I need to be happy, fulfilled, and whole. I accept the blessings of peace and wisdom and express these qualities throughout my day.

New avenues of good are unfolding in every area of my life. With an open heart, I joyously accept God's blessings.

the Culture Center at 7:30.

Now in it's 8th year, the Mountain Stage Newsong Contest is one of the
premier showcases of emerging artists in North America. 12 talented
finalists from across the United States and Canada will perform their
original material and compete for a chance to perform on an
international broadcast of National Public Radio's Mountain Stage.

The finalists are chosen from over a thousand singer song/songwriters
- this year the talent level is off the charts!  Come help identify
the next Nora Jones or the next John Mayer.  The winner will perform
the very next day on a Mountain Stage show in Athens, Ohio at Ohio
University.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased @ 800-594-TIXX (8499) or
www.newsong-music.com. Local ticket outlets are  Taylor Books, Budget
Tapes & Records, The Pied Piper of Charleston, Gorby's M, Fret n'
Fiddle in St Albans. and Route 60 Music in Barboursville.

I highly recommend this event which also includes a wine and cheese
reception afterwards while the judges deliberate. Hope to see you
there !

Take care,

Ron Sowell

PS: Next Woody Hawley Concert :
      Nov 7  Paul Callicoat opening for  "The Dreamsicles" (Tom
Prasada-Rao and Cary Cooper)

"Expecting Miracles"
Whether it involves health, relationships, or prosperity, most of us have strong hopes and desires for our lives. How we the expect miracles in on life might effect what miracles we get. Jesus provides us with a model of prayer and expectations. Please join us for some reflections on expectation, hope, prayer, and miracles.


There will be a pick-up discussion
after the service, all are welcome!

UKV News           Prayer List          Audio Tracks: Sunday Services

We are a demonstration of God's unconditional Love
We realize our Oneness and honor our uniqueness

Thank you God for the miracle that is my life!

Accept

I joyously accept God's blessings.

As I take a moment to acknowledge God's presence within and around me, I set the tone for the day ahead. Centered in God, I welcome this day with anticipation. The possibilities are endless, and the good is overflowing.

If an event or situation threatens to dampen my enthusiasm, I pause, take a deep breath, and re-center myself in the loving presence of Spirit.

With God, I have all I need to be happy, fulfilled, and whole. I accept the blessings of peace and wisdom and express these qualities throughout my day.

New avenues of good are unfolding in every area of my life. With an open heart, I joyously accept God's blessings.

"Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."--John 16:24

So many people have been excited about our possible move to Myrtle Road! Inevitably the question comes up: "By the way, what is Unity anyway?"

UKV Prayers

I just got a call from Kathy Reed saying that UKV member Steve Hyer is in the Surgical ICU at Memorial right now, undergoing emergency surgery.

Steve had a successful by-pass operation two weeks ago. It now appears there may be an infection, which is a very serious complication.

Please lift Kathy, Steve, and his family up in your prayers

We have had other folks in recovery, please lift them up as well
http://ukvprayers.blogspot.com/

Your prayers, thoughts, and intentions do make a difference!

You are a Blessing!

Thanks!
