"Creative Resistance" 
I'm finishing up this series on the Power of Strength and Finding your Voice by looking at a some of Jesus' teachings on love from the Sermon on the Mount. These have been widely mis-understood leading personal and social bondage. Join us to hear some surprising understanding of what Jesus might have meant in the context of his times. I will also be referencing the new book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. (The title is from a Chinese proverb: "Women hold up half the sky.")

Ron is with Mt Stage in Scotland this weekend!


Tithing Workshop starts this Sunday after the service
Wondering what tithing is and how it works? Thinking it would be great to tithe but feeling nervous about it? Wanting to bring more abundance into your life? This might be just the workshop for you?

This workshop will be lead by Kathy Dent, a long-time UKV member and one of our local tithing advocate! . Here is here vision for the group: "I'm thinking 30-45 minutes each Sunday depending on how many people participate.The first week talking about what is tithing, why we tithe and how to do it.  I'm thinking about having people keep track of their tithes and the good that comes to them each week.  I'm sure it will develop and evolve from there."

Tithing Testimonial

Dear Sky,

I wish I could be there (for the tithing workshop starting this Sunday) ,,, tithing is great,,, best thing I ever did with our money. I learned about it from the Streaton Smith program the Four T;s.  at Unity in Delray Beach Fl.  in 1997 .  I am now so happy to be able to prosper and  I have been so blessed inside and out beyond my wildest dreams.

Sorry Jim and I have not been able to come up from Princeton in such a long time.  It is really nice to get the newsletter by email.  We have been attending some churches here.   But THERE IS NOTHING LIKE UNITY, 
Much love to all

Dorothy and Jim Scott

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
