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.
