Memorial Garden meeting - today at 4pm
Doug Harper, one of our Open Mic favorites, will be in Charleston today at 4pm to meet with anyone who is interested in listening to some ideas about the Memorial Garden. Sky had asked Doug for his expertise and advise since Doug is a landscaper. The Board voted that the Memorial/Meditation Garden will be placed in the back yard of the manse to be close to the woods and away from some of the road noise. Doug is just stopping by to view the land and come up with some ideas. Everyone is welcome. Sorry for such short notice.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude
March 25 & 26, 2011
Would you like to express the spirit of gratitude
more fully in your life?
Wish more gratitude and recognition
were coming your way?
This Friday evening and all day Saturday workshop will be full of fun and interesting ways to more deeply express gratitude in your life and in your relationships.
For more information go to www.kpcc.com or call Sky Kershner at 304-346-9689.
Rabbi Shmuel Hanagid
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about these things.
Paul's letter to the Philippians 4:8?
He who learns from his friend a single chapter, a single law, a single verse, a single expression or even a single letter, should show gratitude.
Ethics from the Fathers 6:3
is the best insurance
that the abundance will continue.

"Expressing Gratitude" Mar 25&26 2011
Unity Sunday, Feb 27, 2011 - Ego and Compassion
"The Truth About Ego and Compassion" with Ernie Vecchio
Ernie's metaphysical interpretation of The Book of Job validates and raises consciousness about human suffering. He will be sharing insights that come to us from what may best described as a 3600 year old dream. Join us as we get to witness a catharsis from the inside out of someone who predates Christ by a thousand years. What you thought you understood about Job's story and its message will be turned on its ear. More importantly, it offers contemporary guidance about the 'how' and 'why' of suffering.
Planks from the board February 20, 2011
Board Member Linda Austin has developed a great way to tell the church just what the Board is working on this month. Thanks Linda! Click here

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.

Invitation to Membership at Unity
Twice a year we invite our regular attenders of Unity to consider becoming a member of Unity of Kanawha Valley. We are now preparing for our Spring reception of new members. And I'd like to ask you to check in with your Self to see if this might be something that would be helpful to you at this point in your journey.
Being a member at Unity of Kanawha Valley might be important to you in at least two ways.
First, it would give you a stake in the the direction of the organization.
UKV has an Annual Membership meeting every Spring. At this meeting the membership deals with the bigger issues related to the leadership and property of the Church. The members hear reports from the Board about these issues and discusses and approves the Board's actions. If there is an issue with the property or the minister, these can be discussed and decided. The membership also votes for new Board members (two out of the six board members rotate off every year).
Second, it might help bring focus or deepening to your spiritual journey.
Unity seems to be especially good at helping people develop a positive image of a loving God, and develop a positive prayer life that supports the development of a deeper consciousness and relationship with the idea of this loving God being within you and accessible to you at all times.
If you are interested, you can explore more at our webpage. There is more information there, and you can download the "Membership Application Form"
http://unitywv.blogspot.com/p/membership.html
If you would like I would be glad to talk with you about how this works and might fit your spiritual path, just let me know!
And Remember, You are a Blessing!

For Feb. 20, 2011
A great big thanks to Matt Schwartz for cutting up the wood from our fallen tree by the UKV parking lot.
Thank you to Jim Selbe for picking up and installing a new smoke alarm in the church kitchen.
For Nate Epling and his help with hospitality.
For Ron and Jack and Ryan and their wonderful creative spirits.
Thanks to Ed Gunter who stopped by UKV to put the front planters upright after a wind storm knocked them over. He fixed the leaky faucet in the bathroom. Ed also fixed the electrical outlet by the copier so we no longer have to stretch the cord across the room. Actually he just touched it and had the magic touch.

Jacob's relationship with Rachel becomes the outline for thoughts about what it takes to have success in love. I have a story from Monty Roberts, the original Horse Whisperer, plus a story from Genesis about Jacob that is so Unity it will blow your mind (and one that some Rabbi's have not even heard of).
Plus a little more Van and James Taylor, and even a tribute to blind jazz pianist/songwriter George Shearing.

For Feb 13, 2011
Grateful for Geri Ann's decorating expertise. She is so kind and gentle with her recommendations - we are blessed to have her talented presence amongst us.
I am grateful for Pam Hippler. She is frequently the 'face of the church' to the community via mail, deliveries, neighbors, etc.... and with that - our church exemplifies kindness, patience, humor via Pam Hippler! I couldn't be happier that she loves Unity as much as I do.
I am thankful for Lyle's beautiful singing voice everytime I hear it. It is truly a pleasure to stand or be near him when the congregation sings!
For Ron and the Open Stage crew, and those who are so generous with their food talents!
For Kathy Dent's leadership of the Tithing Class, going on after church on Sundays
"I am so thankful for Lisa, Mindy, Judy, and Christy that teach the teens every week. They are providing rich discussions and interesting activities that prompt deep thought and reflection.... and lots of laughter. The teen-age years are such a developmental time - so being here for our teens is a wonderful gift. Let's pray for our teens everyday."
To Judy and Anna Hamilton, Janet Prince, Karen Sylvester, Sharon Mullins, Cyndi McGill and Nate Epling for stepping forward to serve on the Volunteer Committee. Peggy and Ruth

Hospitality Givers Sought
Dear UKV Attendee,
- Ushers/Greeters – volunteers would need to arrive at the church about 15-20 minutes prior to the service starting. Make sure front door is unlocked, lights are turned on, heat/air is adjusted, greet people as they arrive, pass offering plates.
- Hospitality – this involves setting up refreshments in Activity Room prior to the starting of the service and cleaning up afterwards. It could be broken down into two parts if the volunteer could not or would not want to arrive early and stay late. For the first part, the volunteer would need to arrive at the church around 10:15 to 10:20. He or she would need to prepare the coffee and make sure everything needed (cups, creamer, stirrers, napkins, plates, etc.) is available as people arrive. For the second part, the volunteer would need to clean up around the refreshment area after the service and make sure all doors (both upstairs front door and Activity Room door downstairs) are locked, or designate someone with a key to lock up when they leave (a Board member or anyone else with a key). They would also need to check and make sure all lights are turned off upstairs and down, the Christ candle on the stage in the Sanctuary is extinguished, and thermostats are adjusted appropriately for the empty building.
