"Does God have Needs" a lesson with Sky Kershner

Is God a who? Is God a what? Does the word God help us make sense of this world and our place in it? Does the word sometimes become an obstacle?

How we view God has a big effect on all sorts of things, including how we pray. Please join us for some perspectives on who or what God is.


Music this Sunday
Ron Sowell, Jack Kennedy, and Ryan Kennedy.
Music prelude starts at 10:45


Nonviolent Communication Class, right after the service, 12:30 - 1:45

This Sunday: How Needs connect to Feelings


Appreciation
For all the work on flooring and carpets. For all the planning regarding the new roof.


Thought for the Day
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Remember this, and move closer to enlightenment.
Forget this, and attaining enlightenment will be the least of your troubles.

Sky

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!

Gratitude

From a place of gratitude, I see beauty in everyone and everything.

When I adopt an attitude of gratitude, I create a shift in my outlook. Instead of seeing problems, I see opportunities. Instead of feeling hopeless, I feel hopeful. By focusing on what is working well, I invite more of the same.

When I let others know, "I am grateful for you," I create a connection of love and understanding. Through these simple words, I help others see their own beauty and the contribution they make in the world.

Through prayer, meditation or journal writing, I begin and end each day reflecting on the many ways Spirit blesses me. I approach life in a state of gratitude. I see the magnificence all around me, and I am filled with joy for all the good in this world.

We welcome this in every way and everywhere with utmost gratitude.--Acts 24:3

"Don't Just Do Something, Sit There!" a lesson with Sky

I've noticed several things that makes simple observing difficult. One is a felt impulse to try to fix something that seems to be broken. I will be exploring this impulse, as we push further into the spiritual benefits of simply observing.

"Making Observations as a Spiritual Discipline" a lesson with Sky

Krisnamutri once wrote "Observing is the highest form of spirituality." What does it take to become a participant observer in life? How can we develop and enjoy this perspective? Observing is the first skill of NonViolent Communication and may be a useful way of thinking about using the Unity principles. Please join us for the lesson and the NVC class discussion after the service.

Friends,

It's a long time till the first Woody Hawley Concert in October with
Tim O'Brien & Bryan Sutton so I thought I'd mention a musical event
that's coming next week that you might enjoy.

Guitar virtuoso Andy Mckee is coming to Charleston Sunday July 18 at 7:30.

He will be performing at the Unity Church located at 804 Myrtle - corner of
Myrtle and Bridge Road. He is widely acclaimed as one of the the best
new acoustic guitar players in the world today. Millions have watched
his performances on Youtube. Here's a link to one of his tunes. Watch
it and you'll see what all the buzz is about.

http://www.youtube.com/andymckee#p/f/0/Yz5cZrC-Klg

Spencer Elliott, who is a big time fan of this genre, is partnering
with Unity of Kanawha Valley to make this concert possible. You can
get advance tickets from him by calling  304-415-2947 or emailing him
at selliott@lgcr.com. The tickets are $15 advance & $20 at the door.

I hope that you are having a wonderful summer and I look forward to
seeing you at the next Woody Hawley Concert.

Take care,

Ron Sowell
