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")

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!

Unity Sunday - "Validation" - Sept 26, 2010

What is it to feel validated? What is it to be validating? What if we could carry an inner validation with us through out lives? I've got some fun and some profound examples, including a theological mind-blower!

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.

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.
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.
