This Sunday - Brainstorming

Lesson at 11
"Imagine Christianity"
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?" I have had so much practice answering this question, I thought I would share some of the recent versions of my answer. Please join us as we explore together, what is Unity anyway?


Brainstorming - Mastermind - Discussion after the service

Kathleen DuBois will be leading us in a visioning and masterminding discussion about the new building purchase. Please join us to be part of the visioning!!!


Please continue to hold Steve Hyer in your prayers.

Thanks!

Sky

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

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!

The ' L I T T L E ' Things~

I got this from Danny Blair today
Blessings!
Sky




The ' T ' Things~ 
cid:1.1313083027@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
As you might remember, the head of a company survived 
9/11 because his son started kindergarten

Another fellow was alive because it was 
His turn to bring donuts. 

One woman was late because her 
Alarm clock didn't go off in time. 

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident. 

One of them 
Missed his bus. 

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change. 

One's 
Car wouldn't start. 


One couldn't 
Get a taxi. 

The one that struck me was the man 
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, 
Took the various means to get to work 
But before he got there, he developed 
a blister on his foot. 


He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid
That is why he is alive today... 
cid:2.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com

Now when I am 
Stuck in traffic
 , 
Miss an elevator, 
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... 
All the little things that annoy me. 
I think to myself, 
This is exactly where 


God wants me to be 
At this very moment..
 
cid:3.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
Next time your morning seems to be 
Going wrong 
   You can't seem to find the car keys, 
You hit every traffic light,
Don't get mad or frustrated; 
It May be just that 
God is at work watching over you.
 
cid:4.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
May God continue to bless you 
With all those annoying little things 
And may you remember their possible purpose. 
cid:5.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like. 
There is NO LUCK attached. 
If you delete this, it's okay: 

God's Love Is Not Dependent On E-Mail !! 
cid:6.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com(that's the cool part)
cid:7.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com
A M E N 
cid:8.1313083028@web110512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com

A Big Thank you
I would like to thank everyone for your wonderful donations to Sojourner's this month.  I didn't realize how many items that the barrel can hold until I went to put them in the trunk of my car.  My trunk is full!  You have generously helped many children with these school supplies and backpacks.
A big thank you to Ric Cochran who came up with this wonderful idea to help our community.
Thank you so much,
Pam

 
Remember: You are a Child of God!
You are a Blessing!
