From: Heidi Muller at heidimul@aol.com

Bob Webb and I are looking forward to our concert on Sunday!  We'll be doing a selection of new songs from our new CD "Light the Winter's Dark" plus some favorites from our standard tune bag.  We will have new CDs at the concert, as well as "Seeing Things" and others.  It's a perfect time to think about holiday gifts...

Sunday, Nov. 20 at 3:00 pm

Unity of Kanawha Valley - Sanctuary

$10 suggested donation

"Light the Winter's Dark" is not your typical Christmas CD. There are 16 songs that take us from the advent of winter through the Solstice and holidays, and on to the other side where sunny days return. There are songs I've written with a winter theme, and songs by other writers including beautiful winter solstice songs and a few Appalachian holiday carols... and a few surprises along the way.  We've also selected some Appalachian fiddle tunes that fit the season. The overall theme of the CD is to honor the Light that is within us all. Many traditions are represented among the songs... it's very inclusive music! Local musicians on the CD include Ron Sowell, John Lilly, Julie Adams, Mark Davis and Deron Sodaro.

We'll be performing Sunday, just us two, with our guitars, cello, mandolin and mountain dulcimers.  This is our only concert before I head off to Oregon to stay till spring, and we begin the real move for both of us.  

Hope you can join us!

Thanks,

Heidi

windows for the manse building behind Unity

Hello everyone,

Thanks to the hard work, generosity, and dedication of our wonderful members, the main building of the Unity church is in good shape to face the coming cold winter months.  The manse, however, has not been a focus of our fund raising efforts.  Last winter, the heating bills for the manse alone were in the upper $500-$600 range for several months, making it difficult if not impossible for the tenant to pay.  The house suffers a substantial heat loss due to the cold wind blowing in the windows.  We have begun a project to replace the windows of the manse, with several members coming forward to sponsor a window, and we have collected enough so far by word of mouth to put in seven new windows.  It occurred to us that many of you were not aware of this effort and we would like to make everyone aware of the opportunity to be involved in this wonderful project.

Three bids on replacement windows were obtained.  UKV went with Window World since they were the most inexpensive.  The windows cost $265 per window with the large windows (over four panes across) counting as two windows.  Several people have donated a window or a portion of a window.  Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you so much,

Pam

Hi Pam,
I was hoping that Unity could keep me in their thoughts and prayers today around 5:30-7pm. I have an interview with NY Sports Club for the position of Assistant General Manager. They just called yesterday. I am excited and also letting it go to God in hopes that this may be an answer to my prayers. Thanks for all you have done thus far in lifting me up spiritually!

Today is a BIG day for me!  I am asking for a big and happy prayer request. My granddaughter, Bayleigh Hall Goff's water broke this morning (on her mother Julie's 40th birthday no less!) and my grandson, Brantley Joseph Goff is expected to make his grand entrance today!

I am asking that her delivery goes smoothly and that Brantley and Bayleigh will be healthy and whole at the end of the process. Joey, Brantley's father, is a severe diabetic so we are all hoping the baby dodges that bullet. All prayers are greatly appreciated.

Love and light,

Patricia
