Unity Gratitude and Validation

Unity Gratitude and Validation

Thanks everyone for the affirmations after the message on "Validation". The lesson is now on-line if you missed it! (Along with John Lilly's song "As Is" from last week on "Acceptance")

Here is the link to the youtube movie Validation

Want to get a daily dose of validation?
Besides developing your inner life, you might try signing up for the TUT daily affirmation - they are awesome and fun! click here


A big thank you to Jim Selbe, Fred Westfall, Harry Mills, Ruth Davis, Karen Sylvester, Sandy Blair, and Cyndi M'Gill for helping out on work day at Blaine Blvd.  We got all the bushes trimmed, the outer building emptied, and all the stuff unloaded and delivered to Myrtle Road.  When we arrived at Myrtle, Lisa, Conner, and Nathaniel were all doing yard work in mowing, leaf blowing, and raking. 
- from Pam Hippler


Thanks to Fred Durham who spent many hours with me on Friday night (after a wonderful Kids Open Stage) helping me tweak the sound system. It is sounding better and better! - from Sky


Thanks to Cyndi McGill and Laura Ellis for getting our Greeters thing going. All the name tags really help!


And several more big thank you's to Mindy Allenger and all of our school teachers.

We now have two Sunday School classes on Sundays during the service. WOW!


And Remember, You are a Blessing!

"A Course In Miracles" class meets Tuesdays at 6:30pm at UKV

Considering Prosperity?
Check out this Blog: A Year of Giving 
http://yearofgiving.wordpress.com/


And we continue to be amazed at how the Universe has brought together so many talented and generous people, with exactly the expertise that we needed, just at the right time. Demonstrations Abound!!!


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



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!



Prosperity
I live in an abundant universe.

I give freely, not only of my financial resources, but also of my time, energy and love. I share from my willingness and eagerness to bless others. Whether I recycle gently-used household items, spend time tutoring a child, or volunteer to assist someone in need, I am giving from my heart. I receive the blessings of joy, satisfaction and gratitude as soon as I give to another.

As I give and receive, I realize that material possessions do not define prosperity. Prosperity is a mind-set, a consciousness, a knowing that everything we need is already supplied. My giving opens the way for God's blessings to circulate. I give from the knowledge that I live in an abundant universe.

The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.--2 Corinthians 9:6



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

Gratitudes
Mindy and Nate donated a washer and dryer to the manse.

Unity also received several generous donations this week. One of the donations is for our new fire protection services and the other donation is for our memory garden.


Dulcimer Classes Begin September 21
Learn to play the Appalachian (lap) dulcimer!  Heidi Muller is offering two new beginners' classes to suit your schedule -- daytime or evening -- on five Tuesdays beginning Sept. 21.  You may choose either 1:30-2:45 pm or 7:00-8:15 pm.  Cost is $85, and pre-registration is required.  There are a few dulcimers available to rent for those who do not have an instrument.  Heidi also has some beautiful new instruments for purchase.  To sign up, and for more information, please call Heidi at (304) 382-9422. 



Sanctuary Sound System Project
You are welcome to join as a partner in this project, no contribution is too small.

 
Seeking Sunday School Teachers
Our growth has started to overwhelm our wonderful Sunday School teachers, Mindy, Judy, and Lisa. Our goal is to teach Unity principles that they can use in their lives, and to teach spirituality without fear. We would like to have enough teachers so we can divide the group into two classes. Our intention is that each service will be taped and available to the teachers on-line and by cd, so teachers will not "miss out" on the adult gathering.

Seeking a Child Care-Giver
We would also like to have a child care-giver for the youngest kids (all those little boys!) This could be a paid position. Please let me know of any wonderful baby-sitters or collage age kids you know who might be interested!

Sunday School News

From the move and the excitement of the new church, our children's group is growing.  Most weeks we have between 6-13 children ranging in ages from 2-17 years old.    The Sunday School Teachers determined that we really need to be teaching them as two separate groups.  

 

So, we need the Board and Church  to help us with the growing situation.   Logistically, we need help with teaching the children. In this blessing of growth, there are more teachers needed and perhaps a "sitter" that we can pay.  

Lisa Beck, Judy Hamilton, and I are the only 3 that are on the teaching schedule now…. So some prayers and resolutions are needed.


Any suggestions or assistance we would greatly appreciate.

Mindy

My first child, Liz, had her first child.  John "Porter" Burns, IV arrived August 6 at 4:15 AM weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long. He was a surprise, as they were expecting a 7 lb girl.  Liz had a c-section ... she is healing and doing very well.  I was able to stay and help her for three weeks.  
Liz and husband, John, are wonderful parents ... patient and calm.  Porter is nursing and at three weeks is now 10 lbs and 21.5 inches.  He is a nice armful.   I'm thrilled to be a grandma!
Love to you all,
Mary
