With some more donations, we can donate for example - $20 = a flock of chicks, $30= honey bees for a farm in Kentucky, a goat = $120, 3 bunnies = $60, etc.



I would like to thank everyone for your generous donations to date.  We have several gifts under the tree for the Sojourner children, some money to the Heifer International, and some donations to the victims of the house fire of Jack's wife, Andrea's co-worker.  Your generosity is so very appreciated.

Hello everyone,

The following prayer request is from Gerie Ann:

Please pray for Kameron (Gerie Ann's great grandson).  His parents were ready to take him home and his temperature dropped, his bily rubin (spelling?) is up (jaundice) and he is lethargic.  They have to put a tube in his throat to measure food intake.  It's probably nothing serious, but very scary for first time parents.

Please keep their entire family in your thoughts and prayers.

A Month of Gratitude

A Month of Gratitude

Today begins Day One in our Unity Month of Gratitude
Here are ways you can participate:
  • Each day write down five ways you feel grateful and feel abundance in your life

  • Join us Sunday at 10 for our book study on Abundance (some are reading Simple Abundance, available in our bookstore, some are reading The Heart of Abundance, available for free online at click here

  • Join us this Sunday at 11 for our annual All Saints Day gratitude service. Bring a photo, symbol, art, or memory to share about someone who made a difference in your life who you are grateful for.

  • Join us each Sunday this month as we extend our practice of the habit of gratitude and perceiving and demonstrating abundance in our lives.

Gratitude is a habit. Demonstrating abundance starts with loving who you are right now and what you have right now. The miracle is a change in perception.

I am lifting you up right now
Seeing you surrounded by light and by love

Remember, you are a Blessing!

Re: My father

Hello everyone,

Trish would like to thank all of you for keeping her and her father in your thoughts and prayers.  The following email is from Trish.

Thank you,

Pam

My father, James Quinton Ansley, passed away on Saturday, 10-06-12, after a brief illness. Although he fought hard to stay with us, his heart and body just could no longer keep up with his spirit. My fishing buddy will be missed sorely, not just by me, but by many as I am finding out more and more, day by day. I will especially miss his laughter and the twinkle in his eyes. Most of all, I will miss his presence.

There will be a public wake at Ronald V. Hall Funeral Home in Vidalia, GA on Thursday, 10-11-12 from 6 - 8 PM. The funeral will be Friday, 10-12-12 at 2 PM at Rocky Creek Baptist Church in Johnson's Corner, GA. The interment will be at Lakeview Memorial Gardens, just south of Vidalia, GA following the funeral service.

The gathering of the family will be at James Quinton's residence at 3259 Old Normantown Road, Vidalia GA. The number there is 912-538-7427.

My spirit has been warmed by all the generous outpouring of love and prayers for both my father and me during this time. I am eternally grateful to all those who have lifted us up in prayer.

Thank you and God bless you,

Patricia "Trish" Ansley

What is Unity? 14 Thoughts

Friends --

Two weeks ago we had a wonderful class after the Sunday Service. The theme was "What is Unity" and it was an intro class designed for folks considering becoming members of UKV (New Member Sunday will be on or UKV anniversary, Oct 21, 2012. Click here for more info on becoming a member.)

We had 18 participants in the class. Here is what some of them said in answer to the question: "What do you tell people when they ask you, What is Unity?"

  • A place to dump my gratefulness.
  • A place for searching and leaving with joy in my soul.
  • Home. A place of love.
  • A place to learn what is behind things, the reality of things.
  • I can't describe it, but then, I can't describe the color blue either!
  • A place for Love, not judgement.
  • A place od no condemnation, where I am reminded that people are good.
  • I think of Unity as the anti-church, an antidote to what church used to be for me.
  • It is a little hippy church, but without the drugs. Open and honest.
  • No one tells you what to be, they help you find out who you are.
  • No condemnation, I feel loved for who I am
  • A place to recharge
  • It is my home
  • It is my church

I think you might agree with me that these are extraordinary answers. Thank you for all of our particpants!

This Sunday we will be pushing forward with a second intro class: "What is Unity of Kanawha Valley." Please feel free to join us after the service to be part of another amazing discussion!

And remember, You are a Blessing!

SKy

PS - Our class "Lessons in Truth" also starts this Sunday, at 10am. Please join us if you want to learn more about this foundational book in Unity's history.

There is but one Source of being.
This Source is the living fountain of all good,
be it love, wisdom, power - the Giver of all good gifts.
This Source and you are connected every moment of your existence.
You have power to draw on this Source for all of good you are,
or ever will be, capable of desiring.

As many of you know, I had been told he was dying in April, however, when he learned I had bone cancer, he rallied 'for his baby'. He had been doing well but had to have emergency surgery Thursday night (he is 83) and pulled through that well. However, his heart and kidneys started to fail during the night and he is now on a ventilator and heavily sedated. As I was driving last night, and lass than 2 hours away, his ICU nurse told me he probably would make it until I got there (Vidalia) but past that, she would not give me any hope. However, though I have driven 550 miles, they will not allow me to see him until 9 AM, regular visiting hours!  Rules! Regulations! I was devastated.

Greetings from Venice. Sorry to ask but could you see if anybody would be able to attend the carriage trail meeting this week. As you can see we are on the agenda and I can't be there. I'm not sure what it concerns but unfortunately my ipad isnt working so i am using the hotels computer and couldn't be sure of getting an answer if I emailed Mary to get a subject.

Hope all is well with you and everyone there. Thanks for your help.

All the best,

David

The Dent Dinner - Charleston WV


RH_JPEG_Standup 2Ralph Hood flies into the Dent Dinner
He may not be as tall as Jeannie Robertson, last year's Dent Dinner speaker, but he is just as funny. Ralph Hood makes his second appearance at the Dent Dinner on October 16, 2012

Oprah loves him
Ralph Hood, is well known in corporate circles throughout the country for his down-home Southern style of story-telling and humor.  Ralph was in the aviation business for many years and has engaging stories to tell: the good, the bad, the ugly, and always the funny. And to top it off, Oprah loves him. When he appeared on her show, she summed it up in six words: "Ralph Hood, you are a funny man."
 
Best of all, the event goes to a great cause
Kanawha Pastoral Counseling is dedicated to helping get the services they need for issues of depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, loss, and trauma.

Tickets are now available

Events this Week at Unity


Hello everyone,

The following events are happening at Unity of Kanawha Valley this week:

SATURDAY- "INNER LISTENING" CLASS AT 10:30AM WITH MARIANNE GETTMAN.  Please join Marianne for this class of conscious breathing, slow stretching, balance exercises, guided relaxation, chakra meditation, and Qi Gong Flow.

SUNDAY SERVICE  AT 11AM:
"Affirmative Prayer: Who, What, When, Where, Why?"This month starts a series on Affirmative Prayer, and I am really excited about this. This Sunday's lesson will look at traditional prayer in contrast to affirmative prayer, as well as a wonderful scripture: "The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (I John 4:4)

Some of us are reading the book "How to Pray Without Talking to God" and it is wonderful! We will be starting discussing the topic this Sunday at 10am, before the service. I know! Too early for a Sunday, right! For those who want to linger in the morning, we will also be doing our pick-up discussion group after the service as well. Having read the book is not necessary, you can join in the discussion at any point. Come as you are!

And remember, you are a blessing!

Sky

PS - Last week's message on the Holy Grail is now on-line at http://unitywv.org/lessons/flashmp3player.html

PPS - And if you want some great Unity music while you practice affirmative prayer, click here: http://unitywv.org/music/flashmp3player.html


FUTURE EVENT:

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH - MOVIE NIGHT AT 6PM.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH - UNITY WORLD DAY OF PRAYER.  UKV WILL BE HAVING A SERVICE AT 6PM.  THERE ARE SLIPS IN THE BULLETIN THIS WEEK TO SUBMIT NAMES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE UKV MEMBERS AND ATTENDEES AND SILENT UNITY TO PRAY FOR.

Attached are the planks of August's Board Meeting for the membership to view.
