FROM THE BOARD

 

To Family and Friends

A dear friend recently sent a letter to me with these words.  I was deeply moved. I want to share it with my Unity Family.

 

I want to say something to all of you

who have become a part of the fabric

of my life.

 

The color and texture which you have brought into my being

have become a song,

and I want to sing it forever.

 

There is an energy in us which makes things happen when the paths

of other persons touch ours, and we must be there and let it happen.

 

When the time of our particular sunset comes, our thing, our

accomplishment, won’t really matter

a great deal.

 

But the clarity and care with which we have loved others will speak with

vitality of the great gift of life we have been for each other.

By

The Benedictine Foundation of the State of Vermont, 1972

 

Thank you for being my Family

 and my Friends. 

Cydne Grimsby

SITTING IN THE POWER MEDITATION

 

Sitting in the Power is a particular type of meditation that mediums use to build spiritual energy. It is also beneficial for anyone desiring a deeper spiritual connection with the Higher Self, Spirit Guides, and one's Divine Knowing or Intuition. The meditation we will use in this group is guided by Michael Mayo. It begins with an attunement which grows one's awareness of one's own energy field. Then it moves into a time of sitting in the Presence of the One, and ends with a time turned over to Spirit for whatever the meditator needs. 

 

Wednesday's beginning November 20th, from 11:30 am-12:30 pm


 

NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION

AND SO WE PRAY

 

HURRICANE HELENE

Infinite Presence, we pray for the people who are affected by this storm, affirming that a sense of safety and comfort embraces them and lifts them up. All the love, power, and energy of Spirit's life is all about them. We give thanks for the first responders, knowing that they are sourced with Spirit's strength and courage. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.

 

THE MIDDLE EAST

"In the midst of war, I no longer pray for peace. I pray for miracles. I pray that stone hearts will turn to tenderheartedness, and evil intentions will turn to mercifulness, and all the soldiers already deployed will be snatched out of harm’s way, and the whole world will be astounded onto its knees. I pray that all the 'God talk' will take bones, and stand up and shed its cloak of faithlessness, and walk again in its powerful truth. I pray that the whole world might sit down together and share its bread and its wine. Some say there is no hope, but then I’ve always applauded those who never seem to give up on the scandalousness of our faith: that we are loved by God, that we can truly love one another. I no longer pray for peace. I pray for miracles." - Ann Weems, Presbyterian elder

FROM THE BOARD

Courage

 

As we’re getting ready to turn the page on the calendar to October, it certainly becomes all too real, Jere is retiring soon. It takes courage to retire. Everything changes!  During service, Jere asked that we let him go and we must. That takes courage on our part. Manifesting a new minister will also take courage. For the new minister to take a leap of faith to come join our spiritual community, and, for us, in welcoming our new minister. So what is courage and how can it help us?

I looked up the metaphysical meaning of courage 

--A spiritual quality that enables one to remain poised and centered in God amidst great difficulties and danger. The realization that the almighty God of the universe is a spiritual presence which is constantly striving to express in and through us fills us with new courage and a fearlessness that is beyond description. "Be strong, and let your heart take courage" (Psalms 31:24).

I have faith that the right and perfect minister will come to us and that we have the courage to see this through. 

 

Shakespeare wrote, “Screw your courage to its sticking place.” 

I certainly have. Be well.

Kurtis Zumwalt 


OUR HERO DENNIS CASSELLA!

Dennis Cassella receives special recognition for the NC Board of Supervisors

Dennis Cassella was given a special Certificate of Recognition and medal from the NC Board of Supervisors at their monthly meeting on September 24th, in recognition of his 25 years of service to Nevada County and more recently for his service as Chairperson and member of the Board of Trustees of the Nevada Cemetery District. Dennis retired from the Board in June after years of service. Dennis was the NC General Services Manager from 1985 to 2002. He also was a temporary employee from 2002-2006 when he oversaw and wrote the NC Emergency Preparedness Plan. The Supervisors wanted to express their deep gratitude and appreciation for his leadership and the enduring contributions he has made to the lives of the residents of Nevada County.

FROM THE BOARD

 

You probably were surprised to learn that I was board president. Well, I was a bit surprised too. It happened very quickly. I had to really sit with it and be honest if it was something I could do and wanted to do. I heard yes and yes.

I immediately ordered Leadership for dummies, and I have to say, it’s been invaluable to me. I learned that to be a great leader there are four qualities you must have. 1. Have people who support you. 2. Listen 3. Put others before yourself. 4. Delegate. After reading this I knew in my heart I could do this.

I want to acknowledge this wonderful board we have here at Unity. Every one of them told me they had my back and support. If I needed or wanted them to do anything they were there for me. I also had people in the congregation tell me the same thing. I feel so supported by you and the universe. I am being guided. I also want you to know that I am here for you.

CHANT!

A musical experience

 

There is a quote that says when you sing you pray twice.

 

So imagine coming to a music event and allowing yourself to be a part of it by singing, breathing, connecting with others through song and dropping into that space in your soul that is calm and feels like a prayer.

Join New Thought singer/songwriters Karen Drucker and Gary Lynn Floyd for a different type of musical evening - one where we will all sing positive message chants and create an experience together of connection, joy and love. 

No singing experience necessary - just come with an open heart and willingness to receive.

Fall Equinox - September 22

The fall equinox occurs in September each year, marking the end of summer and beginning of autumn. Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, the Sun illuminates the northern or southern hemisphere more depending on where the Earth is along its orbit. But at two points in the year the Sun will illuminate the northern and southern hemispheres equally - the equinoxes.

 

"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness, color, and a time of completion; but it is also breadth, depth, and distance.

 

"The season for enjoying the fullness of life - partaking of the harvest, sharing the harvest with others, and reinvesting and saving portions of the harvest for yet another season of growth." - Denis Waitley

FROM THE BOARD

 

I am on vacation this week and traveling through Pennsylvania and upstate New York. As I drive, I see all the political signs that people have posted in their yards. We study in “The Way of Mastery” that we should look at all things from a neutral perspective.  This can be challenging at times, but it is an interesting exercise especially in the political climate across this country. Whatever side you support, it is my hope that the people of the United States will choose the best leader for our country.  The same applies to our search for a new minister that we will find and choose the best candidate to lead our spiritual center. I also hope that whatever the outcome, peace will prevail, and we will continue to move forward in our adventure in this life.

A musical experience

 

There is a quote that says when you sing you pray twice.

 

So imagine coming to a concert and allowing yourself to be a part of it by singing, breathing, connecting with others through song and dropping into that space in your soul that is calm and feels like a prayer.

Join New Thought singer/songwriters Karen Drucker and Gary Lynn Floyd for a different type of concert - one where we will all sing positive message chants and create an experience together of connection, joy and love. 

No singing experience necessary - just come with an open heart and willingness to receive.

We have not been left alone. Under the impulse of the Spirit, we are guided and safe."

FROM THE BOARD

 

Death Be Not Proud

This week is one that has me reflecting on issues of death and life. My best friend from my High School and College died in early August and his Memorial is this Saturday, Sept. 7. Later that same day, Shelley and I are to attend the wedding of the son of one of her best friends. They are miles apart, but I will be able to attend both, which will give me time to think about the meaning of these two events. When someone close and the same age as I am dies, it brings up thoughts of my own mortality. And when someone younger is just starting out in life, it is a good time to reflect on the cycle of life and how “all is well.”

John Donne’s classic sonnet came to mind, and I want to share it with you now:

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee

Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:

For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow

Die not, poor Death: nor yet canst thou kill me.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,

And soonest our best men with thee do go –

Rest of their bones and soul’s delivery!

Thou’rt slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell:

And poppy or charms can make us sleep well

And better than thy stroke. Why swell’st thou then?

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,

And Death shall be no more: Death thou shalt die.

Mark Wandro

OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER

is Sherry Rebstock!

 

I first attended a Unity Easter Service in Walnut Creek, California in the mid 90's. The tenets they followed and the flow of the service, including a meditation, really touched me. Fast forward to 2020 when the pandemic came about. I reached out to Claire to inquire about Unity in the Gold Country and their online services. I had met Claire and Jay along with Rev. Jere a couple of years earlier and we connected very well. So, I knew exactly who to contact to find comfort and community in a very uncertain time. I attended online services starting in 2020. In 2022, my wife and I moved to Maine, and I continue to attend via YouTube. I am so grateful Unity in the Gold County has embraced the use of this technology to expand their footprint to those of us who are not in Nevada County. 

I began to attend the online study groups/classes in 2020. I am on my third round of the Way of Mastery with a magnificent group of loving, caring people. I have also attended group sessions to discuss the book, "Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man" and most recently, "What's in the Way, is the Way". 

I am currently the website volunteer where I update the e-bulletin and calendar pages every Friday morning. I have also worked on a few website projects as needed.

Unity in the Gold Country is my North Star. The voice of reason, compassion, love, and understanding is truly a blessing to me. Do I wish to be with you all in person, you bet I do. Until that happens, I sing with you and hold our community in prayer while sitting on my couch with my dog, Blaze, by my side. Greetings from Maine dear friends!

 

Sherry, we love you and we appreciate you!

Rev. Jere, Lezlie, your BOT and Unity congregation


 

FROM THE BOARD

 

These past few weeks I’ve been focusing on what it means to let go and let God. I would like to share a few selections from my readings that are helping me on my journey.

On God’s Plan

Trust that there is a perfect plan for the unfolding of your highest good, which your rational mind cannot formulate. God’s plan works, and yours doesn’t. You cannot know how your part fits best into a larger plan for the healing of the world, but God does. Your job is merely to open your mind and open your heart so that a higher consciousness can then flow through you. Marianne Williamson

And from the Way of Mastery 

Source, Creator, God, Goddess, All That Is, Abba 

I am ready to be what you created me to be.

I choose to remember that I am effect and not cause.

Thy will be done, knowing that your will is my full happiness.

Reveal then, that path through which that happiness can be known.

For my way has never worked, but your way always does.

 

Blessed Be!

Katharine Mary Beatty

SEPTEMBER

 

Peggy Toney Horton, author

Ah, September! You are a doorway to the season that awakens my soul.

 

September is cherished for giving us the last days of summer and the first days of fall. It got its name from the Latin word, "septem," meaning “seven.” The month had originally been the seventh month of the early Roman calendar. September, in Old England, was called Harvest Month, the time to gather up the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter months. It represents gathering and abundance.

 

Rainer Maria Rilke

Lord, it is time. The summer was very big. Lay thy shadow on the sundials, and on the meadows let the winds go loose. Command the last fruits that they shall be full; give them another two more southerly days. Press them on to fulfillment and drive the last sweetness into the heavenly wine.

MAN PLANS AND GOD LAUGHS

Rev. Joe Sloan

 

Plans are important as they give us direction and something to move towards, but I think they ought to be written with a pencil and a good eraser.

Plans, if indelibly written, can trap us and cause us to miss the greater good that is calling us elsewhere. We can have a plan and we need to give it our best and as a Danial Nahmod song goes, “so I get up in the morning and do the best I can and when I hear the music - dance.” In the midst of life, even in times of difficulty and distress, listen for the music that is surly there, and be ready to dance again.

 

Our musicians this week are Angela and Gabriel.

Our musician next week is Kellie Garmire.

FROM THE BOARD

 

So as I sit on my back deck enjoying the warm breeze and listening to the hawks talk in the nearby trees, I’m remembering an exercise from Way of Mastery on how we create our reality. I ponder that statement a lot when things aren’t going smoothly and I wonder why I would ever create this reality. But today as I’m filled with gratitude for the beautiful day and the friends I spent time with, I’m coming to understand how this Yin and Yang of life works out. How much more I appreciate a day like today after a few days of juggling what feels like multiple balls in the air at once. One of my favorite authors writes “There is no need for juggling, only flow. Allow what is needed for you to know or do arise in awareness as you trust the slipstream of consciousness to feed you guidance moment by moment, Without gravity, there is peace”. I can create a reality of peace by staying in the present moment and trusting that God will only give me what serves my highest good. I just need to listen.

With Love, Ann Somervell

Native American: We Indians have always been clear thinkers within the scope of our understanding, but cause and effect have not formed the basis for our thinking... on the contrary, we see miracles on every hand -- the miracle of life in seed and egg, the miracle of death in a lightning flash and in the swelling deep! Nothing of the marvelous can astonish us... The virgin birth seems scarcely more miraculous than is the birth of every child that comes into the world, and the miracle of the loaves and fishes no greater wonder than the harvest that springs from a single ear of corn. - Kent Nerburn

SEEING AND KNOWING

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

We are hopefully aware that we all have blind spots. We play games and have facades that we present to make ourselves look better. Facing all this is called shadow work. Join us this Sunday when we look at a neat method of uncovered these aspects of ourselves and find a way to express more of our authentic Self.

Our musicians this week are Drew and Ariella.

Our musicians next week are Angela and Gabriel.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We will let you know what is happening regarding finding our new minister. We want you to know all is well, and all is going exactly as it should be going.

FROM THE BOARD

 

“Let go of the shore, and let the water carry you. Let go of the shore, float into the mystery”... Karen Drucker

These are lyrics from the song that I played each morning of my sabbatical back in 2019. I am here in Santa Cruz on a regional Board retreat, listening to the waves pound on the beach. Once again, I feel that I am being called to let go of another shore. The last time I walked on a beach was this time last year in Ireland, and the before that was in Hawaii. 

The ocean is always there doing its thing, breaking waves all over the world. It is this deep powerful being and presence that has the ability to calm or center us. It just waits for us to step close and let it entrain us to its energy. Just like the Divine is always there waiting for us to come close so its powerful presence can comfort and reassure us. We just need to step close.

Rev. Jere

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Having led the BOT, the Search Committee and the congregation through an eight month arduous process to a successful conclusion yesterday, Marlene Bottenfield has resigned from her position as Board President and from the BOT. She has done so to take care of herself and her wellbeing. During these past eight months she has given herself endlessly from the depths of her generous heart to our community and it has taken a toll. She respectfully asks for space to do self care and take care of her health. She requests no emails, phone calls or texts at this time to facilitate her healing and restoration. With great gratitude we thank her for her many years of service on the BOT and in her role as President in which she did stellar work. 

 

Secondly, we wish to announce that the Search Committee recommended to the BOT that Rev. Sharon Renae be offered the position of Senior Minister. The BOT met today and ratified that recommendation and negotiations are under way to make that a reality. We are blessed to have such a talented candidate as Rev. Sharon to fill the role of Minister here at UGC. We look forward to a successful future under her leadership. We pray for the successful conclusion to our search and thank you for all your participation in it. 

Thirdly, the BOT voted in Carly Tousley as its new President, and Katharine Mary Beatty as its Vice-President. We are so blessed with such talented people on our Board in our leadership.


 

Rev. Jere Farrell will be with us this Sunday and share a talk as always. This is a change to the scheduled calendar.



Our musicians this Sunday are Angela and Gabriel

Our musicians next week are Drew and Ariella.

FROM THE BOARD

Letting Go of Pain

 

Last week I picked up a new book: Inward by Yung Pueblo. The words are powerful for me.  I chose a short entry quoted below:

“when we disconnect from our pain we stop growing

when we are dominated by our pain we stop growing

freedom is observing our pain letting it go and moving forward”

As most of you know I am still recovering from knee replacement surgery; I have a keen sense of what physical pain feels like. I have experienced a range of varied emotions throughout these past 10 weeks, multiple ups and downs. I realize that now I am actually observing the sensation of pain, rather than drowning in it. From this new vantage point, I am free to choose a positive solution; I am making progress and truly know that “this too shall pass.”

In thinking more broadly about the above excerpt, I easily segue into my role as a member of both the Search Team (ST) and Board (BOT), and the major responsibility we have this week of making a ST recommendation, then the BOT voting on the selection of our new Senior Minister. It’s easy for me to slip into anxiety and fear (both painful) of not being able to please everyone. Then I remember that “I am free in this moment to choose to see things differently.”  Thus, I consciously choose to observe what I’m feeling, take some slow, deep breaths, symbolically releasing any negativity associated with the above responsibility and visualize our wonderful Unity family moving forward with courage and open hearts to step into this new chapter of fellowship and growth.

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR AUGUST

Carolyn Homan!

 

I have been attending UGC for over 20 years, (same time as Jerry joined) when we were located at the Realty Offices for Sunday services

 

Are you an official member: yes

 

What drew you to Unity: Larry and I were looking for a church or spiritual center. When we tried UGC, it just clicked! Like for so many other UGC congregants, it "felt like coming home."

 

What keeps you at Unity: The opportunities to grow spiritually along with like-minded friends and to come to know my true self and why I am here on Earth. I have benefitted from all of Joe's and Jere’s talks and lessons and from the insights gained from so many wonderful classes and guest speakers over the years. Unity has helped me become more accepting and at peace with what is and I feel blessed and in appreciation each day of everyone and everything...most of the time.

 

Where I have volunteered over the years:

* Have been a UGC chaplain since the program's inception

* Worked several years in kitchen/hospitality

* Was a board member

* usher, greeter, etc.

* hosted at our home 7-week book program

* often helped Larry with various maintenance chores and projects

* made chaplain calls monthly 

* healing circle 

* have been "on call" when needed for "whatever"

 

Thank you Carolyn for your years of unending service. You are a jewel! We appreciate you: Rev Jere, Lezlie, the Board, and the congregants

Tuesday's, 10:30 am - 12 pm


FROM THE BOARD

 

As we potentially wind down our minister search over the next couple of weeks, I want you to know how much I have appreciated your help and your encouragement during this process. I feel so blessed at having had this opportunity.  Over the last several months I have been spending 15-20 hours a week communicating with applicants, the UWM minister search team, Board members individually and as a group, Search Team members, Lezlie, Rev Jere, Rev Sloan, and our community, in addition to creating forms and webforms, and tracking information, researching, etc.  It has been quite a learning curve for me! I have cherished the opportunity to do each of these things. I remind myself that I have been blessed with having the opportunity to allow Spirit to flow through me without attachment to outcome to help give our community the gift we are creating together. 

 

Ultimately, I see us as community, being the biggest component of our future success with our new minster. We will have the opportunity to nurture and help grow our new minister and ourselves in the upcoming months and years. We won’t always see things from the same perspective, but we will know that through our love for each other, we will always be able to problem-solve. Our egos have been trained to see problems before we see solutions.  But because we have been studying and working together, we know that we can always turn towards loving solutions, and that seeing each other as Ourselves and God, we will grow as a community to our greatest potential.  Let’s pledge our loving support to each other and our community (including our new minster) during the unfolding months and years.

The Sense of August -

"Summer's last stand"

August is here — ushering in the end of summer and painting the world in the warm hues of sunflowers and sunset skies. It’s a month that feels slow and easy as we savor the heat and begin to settle back into our routines. August was named after a major figure of the ancient Roman World, Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.–A.D. 14). He was the first Roman emperor and the grandnephew of the previous ruler, Julius Caesar (who named July after himself). The beauty of Augustus is that he brought peace out of a very conflicted area. Augustus inspired growth, reform, a stronger infrastructure, and various city services including fire fighters. So we can think of this month in terms of civility, reorganization, improvements, and overall development - be it within ourselves or in our communities. August is the eighth month and, in numerology, the sacred number eight is special because when you turn it on its side it becomes infinity and represents peace and symmetry.

FROM THE BOARD

If not this, then something better.

 

Hello to Unity In The Gold Country from Grass Valley, where it has been hot. Dang hot!

People in my neighborhood have been losing power almost weekly and we are all holding our collective breath, hoping fire season escapes us. We are also in the process of finding a new minister for our spiritual community. It is not going to be easy to replace Rev. Jere. To say we have been blessed with our spiritual leadership feels like an understatement. We are blessed!!!Thank you Rev. Joe, Rev. Jere, and Patricia (Licensed Unity Teacher) for your loving leadership. So, for the first time in our 24+ year history as a Unity church, we are having this experience that can feel scary, expectant, and unnerving. I remember Rev. Joe saying when he was lead minister, that this isn’t “Joe’s church”. It’s also not Rev. Jere’s church. In other words, our beautiful spiritual community belongs to all of us and is enriched by our participation. As a retired county manager of 32+ years, I have hired, (and fired!) dozens of people and I’m very versed in recruitment and hiring. The process we are going through to select our new lead minister is a good process. It is sound. I trust it and I have faith in it to provide the right outcome.

 

Blessings,

Kurtis Zumwalt

MY ELECTION INTENTION

100 Days of Mindful Practice, July 28 - November 4, 2024

 

Beginning on July 28th and continuing for 100 days (Nov. 4) - we are cultivating a special mindfulness practice to raise the vibration for the 2024 US Presidential Election.

 

The airwaves are filled with fear, noise and anxiety closing in from all sides. While it is important to be an informed voter - it is also critical to pay mindful attention to the vibration and frequency of our consciousness, knowing that the quality and tenor of our thinking directly impacts the quality of our experience. With that in mind, we seek to intentionally cultivate a high vibration mindfully grounded spiritual practice for 100 days.  

 

Click HERE for details and to register to be part of this powerful, and meaningful, movement.

 

Tune out the fear - Tune in the Vision!


 

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FRIENDSHIP - JULY 30

"Listening to the heartbeat of another"



The International Day of Friendship originated with Artemio Brancho, a Paraguayan, in 1958. Brancho, founder of the World Friendship Crusade, envisaged a day in which the beauty of friendship was celebrated - especially between different nationalities, cultures, and communities. The day was proclaimed an official United Nations observance in 2011 and is used to encourage international understanding, compassion, and respect for diversity. 

 

Our world faces many challenges, crises, and forces of division — such as poverty, violence, and human rights abuses — among many others — that undermine peace, security, development, and social harmony among the world's peoples. To confront those crises and challenges, their root causes must be addressed by promoting and defending a shared spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms — the simplest of which is friendship. Through friendship — by bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability, weave a safety net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good.

STORIES ABOUT UNITY TRANSFORMING YOUR LIFE



Do you have a powerful story of how Unity and its teaching transformed your life? We would love to have people share these important stories in a set format that has been proven to be impactful. If you want to know more, please speak with Rev Jere and let him know you might be interested in sharing your story with the congregation.

 


 

FROM THE BOARD

 

On Monday morning, after I read the news, I felt myself slip into a very negative space. All my favorite quotes that have helped me to get out of negative spaces, was not working. It was not a pleasant place to be in. Everything was clouded and bleak. I wanted more than anything to crawl back to bed and pull the covers over my head. But deep down I kept hearing a voice telling me to “keep going”. So, I kept doing everything that needed to be done, and started to feel what I was feeling.

 

Every morning, I make a big veggie bowl, and as I was standing there chopping veggies, I heard the beautiful voice deep inside again, telling me to “Let go and let God”. I haven’t done this in a while. So, I put all my concerns and negativity in a balloon and let it go to God. Immediately I felt better! I felt calm and was in the present moment…chopping veggies. So, remember it can be as easy as…Letting go and letting God.

THREE LINES OF EVIDENCE FOR THE CONTINUITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: Reincarnation, Near Death Experience, After Death Communication

 

Claire Palmerino, Ph.D., will present three distinct lines of evidence that point to the conclusion that our personal consciousness begins before birth and continues after death. Stunning evidence provided by case studies of very young children who report memories of past lives and verified as belonging to a particular deceased person address the hypothesis of life before birth. Near death experiences, as well as shared death experiences and death bed visions, will be examined. Finally, studies of after death communication, primarily through those practicing evidential mediumship, will be reviewed. Implications of these lines of evidence will be discussed.

FAITH

"Remember what your Self has always known about you and how, moment-by-moment, it escorts you into the luminous and seemingly dark places where, with a courageous heart, you walk the hero's journey, the spiritual warriors journey, the Christ's journey, the Buddha's journey to awakened awareness." - Michael Beckwith

 

"The way of overcoming is through allying ourselves with God, not by fighting 'evil.' We should learn to give good only." - Elizabeth Turner, Your Hope of Glory

 

"It is our faith that restores us to God's natural goodness. We can cultivate a consciousness of wholeness, knowing that life is good and is to be trusted. Out of this awareness - this Divine energy - there is a wisdom that unfailingly shows up as peace and perfect right action." - Scott Awbrey, Spiritual Passages

We have great desire and aspirations for our lives to be 100% love and light all the time. But it isn't that way, is it? A non-dual life is often a nice idea.

A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM MARLENE, OUR BOT PRESIDENT

 

Dear Unity family,

We have had an exciting last two weeks in our exploration for a new minister. Thank you everyone for participating and helping in this process. To keep you up to date, we have had 6 applicants. Two of them, the search team felt were not a match for us, two of them decide they were not a match for us through our interviewing process, and two of them we thought were possible matches. These were the two we had come to UGC for weekend-long activities: Rev Beci and Rev Sharon. You have had a chance to hear them, see them, interact with them, and evaluate them. We would like your opinion before the Search Committee makes the final recommendation to the BOT.

 

Would you like to offer Rev Beci the opportunity to be our minister?

Would you like to offer Rev Sharon the opportunity to be our minister?

Would you like to wait and see what other applications we receive?

Other thoughts?

 

Once we have this information, the Search Committee will make a recommendation to the Board and the Board will discuss and move forward. I have already sent the BOT all the other pertinent information so that they will have time to review it before our meeting on July 22. Because time is of the essence, it is important that you fill out the survey ASAP. Please have your answers posted to the website or on paper by midnight, Tuesday, July 16th.

 

Most Unity Centers/churches do not find a new minister immediately. It takes most centers 9 months to 2 years to find the person who meets their needs. Our application has been posted for only 4 months. As a community we have choices. We need to each think deeply about our different options.

 

We have been spending time looking outside ourselves for our solution. The next step is to look inwardly. Please spend some quiet, contemplative time listening in your heart before you answer the questions.

 

We will have a survey posted on the website as well as paper surveys in the sanctuary this Sunday for you.

 

In Love and Light,

Marlene

FROM THE BOARD

 

Do you see repeated signs throughout your day that you just can’t explain?   For me I see the number “1” and usually multiple “1’s”. I look at the clock and see the time 11:11. I often see 8:11, my grandfather’s birthday.  The “1’s” show up all throughout my day in all different forms; the time, the total bill at the grocery store, on billboard signs, on my truck odometer, and randomly throughout my day. I have heard that the “1’s” are the angel number and a good spiritual omen. I see them so much that I just can’t deny the coincidence.  I accept that seeing “1’s” are just a reminder of my spiritual connection and a reminder that there is more to the world than what we see and I am always grateful for that reminder.  Is there something that you see throughout your day to remind you of your connection?

In Buddhist teaching, it is called gladdening the mind, creating an ease of heart."

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR JULY IS . . . MARY HUSE!

 

In Mary’s own words:

I have been a member of Unity in the Gold Country for 3 years. I was part of Unity in Santa Cruz in the 80’s which helped heal my former Catholic upbringing and schooling.

 

I am part of the Healing Clinics team, the blood pressure and glucose screening team of retired nurses, and a greeter on Sundays. I taught a 4-week course last June for the Spiritual Exploration class on the 5 Elements of our nature. I love being in service with all of you

 

I know that I have found my Spiritual family here. This community and the love shared is palpable on many levels. Unity changed my life into a much fuller view of humankind. I can’t believe how much my life has changed since falling into Unity.

 

Thank you for all you do Mary! We appreciate you! Rev Jere, the Board of Trustees, and the congregants. Big hugs to you!

FROM THE BOARD

Thoughts on Philosophy

 

I was struck by the quote from Socrates that Rev. Beci used in her talk last Sunday: “An unexamined life is not worth living.” She said this belief of his was the reason he was condemned to die. She said she had just learned about Socrates and felt his beliefs might be consistent with what we in Unity believe. Now I must let you know that I was a student of the classics as a seminarian in high school and college. I studied Latin, Greek, Ancient History and Philosophy. Socrates never wrote down anything, all his teachings came to us from his students and followers. Many of the stories about him give different impressions. He is known for saying “I know that I do not know.” In his attempts to discover Truth he would question experts about their knowledge and by their answers show that they did not know as much as they thought. His younger pupils were thrilled to see their elders shaken in their beliefs. This type of teaching led to his trial for “corrupting the youth” and “impiety” (Not properly worshipping the Athenian gods.)

Socrates wanted to discover Truth, Beauty and the Virtues by a question-and-answer method. Since he did not write down his methods, we must rely on the philosophers who followed him and built their thoughts on how they perceived his theories. Some would say that the truth could never be known by mortals, it is too far above us. Others would build their whole philosophy on one aspect of the philosopher who preceded them. So, I came to believe that philosophy was like a giant upside-down pyramid where each new thought was built on rejection or re-interpretation of the philosopher before them. Would it eventually lead us to the Truth? Maybe . . .

The Way of Mastery teaches us that we just don’t have complete knowledge. Our life’s goal is the quest for truth, to realize it is what we make of our lives. Socrates quote has meaning for us today: “An unexamined life is not worth living”.

Dear congregants,

As some of you know, Rev. Beci is having chemo therapy for cancer right now. Please be sure to treat her with the same loving heart that you treat each other. If you are ill, please watch the service online. If you feel fine, but think you might have been exposed to a bug, please consider wearing a mask when you are near her.

 

It's natural to have questions about this. I ask only that you are in a state of love with whatever questions you may have that you choose to address to Rev Beci.

 

And, yes, she does like hugs - just mask up first.

 

With appreciation and love for each of you,

Marlene

FROM THE BOARD

 

I love this interpretation of a Prayer taken from TheMindsJournal.

 

What is a Prayer?

Prayer doesn’t only happen when we kneel or put our hands together and focus and expect things from God. Thinking positive and wishing good for others is a prayer. When you hug a friend. That’s a prayer. When you cook something to nourish family and friends. That’s a prayer. When we send off our near and dear ones and say, ‘drive safely’ or ‘be safe’. That’s a prayer. When you are helping someone in need by giving your time and energy. You are praying. When you forgive someone, that is prayer. Prayer is a vibration. A feeling. A thought. Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, genuine relationships. Prayer is an expression of your silent being. Keep praying always… 

 

I pray in gratitude. Thank you for all of your heartfelt prayers.

Katharine Mary Beatty

WE ARE HAVING A POTLUCK THIS SUNDAY - BRING YOUR FAVORITE DISH TO SHARE!


FROM THE BOARD

 

One of most favorite chapters from way of Mastery is Chapter 3 “The Power of Forgiveness”. This chapter is filled with meaningful advice for everyday living. For example, I truly forgot that this week was my turn to write the “from the board” message. In the past I probably would have been filled with embarrassment, irritability and a host of other non productive emotions. This time when I was reminded, I made my apologies and remembered I needed to forgive myself first and “I began to discover that if I looked with innocence upon all things, a light began to shine through the things (or events) I was looking at. And as I rested more and more in this innocence, more and more light would shine.” Surrendering was necessary for me to hear the Divine speaking to me about my favorite chapter so I could share it with you. There are so many gems to ponder on. Another favorite is “Therefore I learned -and learned well that forgiveness is an essential key to healing, The opposite of forgiveness is judgement, and judgement always creates separation and guilt.” And finally I had to remember “What is this moment teaching me?’ This moment is teaching me the perfection of bringing awareness to exactly what I’m experiencing for ‘the universe is conspiring with me to awaken and heal me. Trust it! Love it!” Wishing you all the wisdom of letting go and trusting the Divine.

Annie Somervell

POTLUCK NEXT SUNDAY!


FROM THE BOARD

Angels

 

   On Wednesday, May 29th, I had a right knee replacement, outpatient surgery. The first week I received 24/7 care in Nurse Ann’s lovely home; Nurse Mary moved in to share the load. My gratitude for all that was done to promote my safety and comfort is profound. 

    During this time, I learned how to get up and walk to the restroom (with walker) on my own, take luxurious showers with assistance, and to take regular walks around the house, overseen by an observant Marley.

    I had wonderful visitors who boosted my spirits with a peach shake and roses, a cheerful yellow plant and chocolates, kind and caring conversation, Healing Touch and Reiki Treatments, both in person and long-distance, and a visit from Pam, the PT Angel, who worked with my right leg/knee in such a kind and gentle manner, that my fear and anxiety about starting regular PT sessions was significantly reduced. 

    I am now home and doing well. My Unity family and neighbors are helping with groceries, meal deliveries, rides to therapy, watering my back garden and trimming my roses.

    The many prayers, healing energy, and huge amount of Love sent my way is humbling and touches me deeply.  A most sincere THANK YOU to each of you for your friendship and presence in my life. I love YOU!

JUNETEENTH

 

"We can only be human together"

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, symbolizes the end of slavery and commemorates the reading of President Abraham's Lincoln's General Order #3 on June 19th, 1865 in Texas, which announced the freeing of slaves. It became an official national holiday in 2021 when President Biden signed the measure into law. On hand for the celebration was 94-year-old Opal Lee, who advocated for the June 19 holiday most of her life.

 

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." - Maya Angelou

 

"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." - Desmond Tutu

 

"You can't separate peace form freedom, because no one can be at peace unless they have freedom." - Malcolm X

GOD BLESS AMERICA - PLEASE

Rev. Joe Sloan

 

We say the words too easily, sing the beautiful song and when the song is ended, we all go our to separate ways. And are we asking God to do what is ours to do. We don’t pray to God to change God’s changeless mind, we pray to change our fickle minds. In a country established on the premise of freedom, have we given away our freedom to the organizations and people that would make us slaves to their selfish way of thinking. God bless us to be all You meant us to be - free.

FROM THE BOARD

 

I just completed another one of my Imaginal Healing groups a few minutes ago. It was one of the biggest groups I've ever had. I am always surprised by what transpires in the group and each one is so different. We talk so much about healing and oneness that it is somewhat amazing when we get to have a real experience of both in the group. It is both surprising and not at the same time. We truly have the power and ability to intuitively heal ourselves, and to communicate with, as and from Spirit. What we need is not so much information as an experience. Joseph Campbell once said that we weren't looking for meaning as much as we were for an experience in life. I have to agree with him on that. I hope that you are getting the experience that you need and want here at UGC. Let us know if you aren't.

NEW MINISTER CANDIDATE

Beci will be leading a workshop titled Letting Go and Moving On. In this uplifting workshop, we will guide you through the process of self-discovery, with practical strategies for relinquishing what no longer serves you and gaining practical tools to embark on a path of spiritual awareness, and personal growth.


WHAT YOU ARE MISSING TUESDAY MORNINGS!

 

Have you ever wondered what we discuss in Spiritual Exploration? Well this past Tuesday we learned that you can put ice in your bra to stay cool when preaching. Also, when you are in cold water in a wet suit you pee to warm yourself. Now you know so join us next Tuesday for more life hacks! :)

Yours, Rev. Jere

COMING OUT AS DIVINITY

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

For some time now June has been designated as Gay Pride month. Up to now I have never brought that into our Sunday service, unlike many other Unity Centers. The coming out process doesn't just apply to gay people, it applies to us all in coming to terms with our Divinity. Join us Sunday for what will be one of the most personal talks that I have ever given at UGC.

 

 

Our musician this Sunday Is Kellie Garmire

Our musician next Sunday is Gabriel

NO GARDEN MARKET THIS SUNDAY - HOWEVER -

 

Cliff and Marlene invite you to come out to their bountiful garden and pick your own strawberries! Pick what you wish to take home and then a little more to pay it forward. Imagine, taking home fresh strawberries still warm from the sun.

FROM THE BOARD

 

This last Thursday we had our annual Board Retreat. As usual, it was inspiring and thought-provoking. During our morning session, Rev Jere had us look at 4 different ways to live life: “to me,” “by me,” “through me,” and “as me.” We have been reading the book “The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership” and this is one of the first topics they discuss and the importance of being aware of how we are reacting in life. 

The 4 ways are pretty self-explanatory.  When you’re in the “to me” mode, you see yourself as the victim.

Once you choose to consider how you can impact your life, you move into the “by me” space. Now, you realize you can be a conscious creator.

As you become more aware that you are in fact a co-creator in your life, you begin to allow life to flow “through you.”

In the “as me” stage, you see yourself and life as one. There is no more dualism.

Now you may be looking at these 4 options and putting yourself into one of the categories, possibly judging yourself as you do so. But we don’t stay in just one of these stages until we are ready to “advance.” We can float in between them and back and forth throughout the day. Knowing that these 4 perceptions are real, allows us to stop and ask ourselves, “How am I perceiving this right now? Do I want to consider looking at things from another perspective?”

AN EXPLORATION, The Choice to End One's Life

with Rev. Bodhi Be

 

In this 2 hour exploration Rev. Bodhi Be will describe the spectrum of people who have approached him who wish to end their life and want to know the best ways to do so. We will look at the many reasons this topic is gaining more traction and on more people's minds. We look at the best options and share some of your personal feelings and experiences. What are the repercussions and ripple effects? Rev. Bodhi is Pro-life and Pro-choice and wishes to expand the conversation on this subject beyond yes/no and feels that a healthy, open conversation is essential to a healthy community.

MEDIUMSHIP READINGS

WITH CLAIRE!

 

Mediumship Readings following Sunday Services on the 1st and 3rd Sundays

of the month.

Claire Palmerino is a mediumship student taking courses through the Oakbridge Institute. Having completed her first practicum semester this spring, she is ready to practice during her summer break by offering free readings following the Sunday services on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.

Claire will offer two 30-minute sessions with up to three people per session—at 11:45 and 12:15. You are welcome to sign up for a spot before the Sunday service. Please remember that she is a developing medium and cannot guarantee who in spirit comes through.

 

Use her sign up sheet on the back table before our Sunday Service starts!


SOUND BATH & MEDITATION

 

In this sonic, vibratory immersion, we will use voice, tone, mantra, sound, and meditation to *set intentions, *create harmony between heart and mind, *bring body temple into tune with cosmic frequencies, *drop into deep repose and relaxation, *release tension, stress, and stagnant energies and emotions, and *bring coherence to Holy Triad of Mind, body, and Spirit.

 

This special experience is facilitated by Susan Talerico, Intuitive Healing Artist & Sound/Vibrational Healer.

 

Wednesday, June 26th,

10:30-11:30 am

Love Offering

 

Plan to arrive 10 min early, bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket and dress in loose, comfortable clothing.

 

 

 


OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR JUNE is Gabriel Clark!

 

This month’s volunteer of the month is Gabriel Clark. While not an official member, Gabriel has been attending Unity in the Gold Country since 2014. The first time he played as a musician at Unity was with Angelika – on the piano, not with his guitar as we usually see him!

  Gabriel is drawn to UGC because of the opportunity to share his music and his spiritual path through his music on Sundays.

  Gabriel also volunteers once a month at the Healing Clinics where he offers Functional Symmetry. If you have not had a chance to experience a treatment from Gabriel, you have missed out! Gabriel has also offered music lessons during a previous auction fundraiser.

And how has Unity in the Gold Country changed Gabriel’s life? 

In his own words: “I’ve been exposed to many varying perspectives about the spiritual endeavor and am grateful to have met some incredibly kind and thoughtful people.”

Thank you, Gabriel for who you are! We appreciate you! A big warm hug to you from Rev Jere, the Board of Trustees, and all the congregants.

THE TWO STEP OF MYSTICAL ACTIVISM

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

To be spiritually balanced we need a contemplative prayer life to connect us to the divine. But on its own that is not enough. We also need to turn that connection into action. We must see the interconnectivity of all things. Join us Sunday when we explore this very interesting topic on how to hold the balance of these two seemingly polar opposites.

FROM THE BOARD

Angels In The Outfield

 

Over 20 years ago, my wife and a friend of hers started and began co-managing Nevada County Challenger League BASEBALL FOR ALL! Our son wanted to have a team of his own but there were no opportunities in Nevada County at the time for people with disabilities to play. My wife and her friend were determined to create and organize something! Then one day, someone answered our prayers. Tom was on the Nevada City Little League board, said “yes” to our fledgling, unknown program and became our head coach. All these years later, he still is our liaison with Nevada City Little League and remains our Head Coach. Thoughts held in mind do produce after their kind! The first season, Challenger League had only six players.  This season, the 21st anniversary season, it has grown to six teams and nearly 70 players!

 

Now you know why you don’t see us at church on Sundays in April and May! 

 

But…Baseball is like church…

Did you know?

There are 108 beads in a Catholic Rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. 

I also found Baseball in the Bible; “Let the field be joyful and all that is in it.”(Psalms 96:12) This is so very true. As I watch the games, my heart swells as I see all the joy. Players on both teams cheering for each other and celebrating a good hit or catch. Smiles and hugs in the dugout and high- fives abound. 

It truly is a beautiful day at the ballpark, with Angels in the outfield!

FROM THE BOARD

 

My birthday was the end of April and I decided that what I wanted to do that day was to spend the day looking at everything I am grateful for. I am so grateful for my beautiful marriage and my husband Drew. I am so grateful for my family…my two daughters, four granddaughters, two son-in laws, and my one son. I am so grateful for all my friends near and far. Grateful for my five beloved pets. The one thing that really struck me that I am grateful for, and it felt so important, is Unity in the Gold Country and for all of you, my spiritual family. I have had other spiritual families, but I have not had any as special and supportive as this one. So, I want to say a special thank you to you all, my beloved spiritual family.



Lots of love and blessing to you all, Carly

BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH


A MOMENT FOR GRATITUDE

 

You do so much here to keep us at our best. I'm here throughout the week and I see your time and efforts. Joe, you recently hauled away the big pile of debris behind the storage block. Julianne, you cleaned and made safe the area inside the storage block. Late last year we had a team of folks who cleaned out and organized the attic (a HUGE job). For this and so much more we are deeply grateful. I just want to make sure you know you're seen and appreciated. Everything is sprouting so please check the plot you volunteered to tend! We will be scheduling a big team landscape clean up day soon, likely mid-June.

From your biggest fan,

Lezlie

FROM THE BOARD

 

The Search for a new minister is very much on our minds, especially for the Search Committee and the Board. I am not on the current committee, but I have been on similar committees in the past when I was a member of the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo for over 30 years. Ministers come in all types of personalities and experience. At UUSM we had authors, Hollywood performers, intellectuals and mystics. Most were good preachers and gave us food for reflection. It may look like we at UGC have had only two ministers over the past 30 years, but we have other ministers and lay speakers preach here every month. No matter what happens this Fall, we are blessed with a lot of resources and we will enjoy a new energy in our congregation, for “All is Well!”

A MOMENT FOR GRATITUDE

 

You do so much here to keep us at our best. I'm here throughout the week and I see your time and efforts. Joe, you recently hauled away the big pile of debris behind the storage block. Julianne, you cleaned and made safe the area inside the storage block. Late last year we had a team of folks who cleaned out and organized the attic (a HUGE job). For this and so much more we are deeply grateful. I just want to make sure you know you're seen and appreciated. Everything is sprouting so please check the plot you volunteered to tend! We will be scheduling a big team landscape clean up day soon, likely mid-June.

From your biggest fan,

Lezlie

SUNDAY SERVICE

10:30 AM




 

ARE GOD'S IDEAS TOTALLY IN SYNC WITH YOURS?

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

Did you ever notice how your own ideas always seem to fit perfectly with God's? If so, that is usually a red flag. Our understanding of things probably isn't totally in sync with how the One Universal Mind understands things. This Sunday we will be looking at a really powerful story that illustrates the blind spot that we might have in this regard.

 

Our musician this Sunday is Kellie Garmire.

Our musicians next Sunday are Gabriel and Angela

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

for May - Ann Marie Jaggi!

 

Ann Marie has been attending UGC for 10 years and is a UGC member. Ann Marie shared she has a girlfriend that said she thought Unity would be similar to Ann Marie’s beliefs. She has stayed with Unity because of the people, because of our core beliefs, and Rev. Jere’s sermons. Ann Marie said she always finds a golden nugget that draws her in and validates her beliefs or gives her something to think about!

 

Ann Marie taught a wonderful fall floral arrangement class that produced floral designs in pumpkins! She also gave a class in making Christmas swags. The results were awesome! She has also been part of the monthly Energy Healing Clinics since its inception, doing Spiritual Readings.

 

Ann Marie said Unity has changed and influenced her life by helping her to always remember why she is here and how she can be of service through the act of love and caring. And finally, her heartfelt expression is “I wish there was a way to clone Rev. Jere! Since we can’t she is remembering our saying “this or something better, all is in Divine Order”. She lives in gratitude for Rev. Jere, his insightful sermons which always leave her well grounded and full of a feeling of deep inner peace, love, and gratitude for all she is, all there is, and all she is becoming.

 

Dear Ann Marie, we love you and we appreciate you!

Rev. Jere, our BOT, and our congregation.

FROM THE BOARD

 

Over the years I have learned that we are all co-creators with Divine Source. 

Albert Einstein said "Creativity is Intelligence having Fun". We are all born with every quality available to us. Then as we grow we begin to take on certain beliefs that we decide are true for us. This is what makes each of us so unique. It is simply a choice backed by belief. We really are 'what we think'. We are co-creating with Divine Spirit each and every moment of our lives. I am forever thankful for this awareness.

Miracles happen in our lives when we choose to create from the highest vibration of joyful Love. What miracle will I choose to create today?

I am truly blessed by the miracles of my Unity community!

In gratitude,

 

Katharine Mary Beatty

BELTANE/MAY EVE TALK & CELEBRATION - as Beginning of Summer

Wed., May 1 - 10 am to Noon

 

Richard Feather Anderson will continue to lead us on a journey to help us better live in attunement with the seasonal cycles of Nature - by re-discovering the original purpose of our seasonal holidays, which are mostly derived from festivals and customs of the indigenous cultures of Europe. We will examine why it makes sense in our region to follow the Celtic Calendar’s designation of May Eve as the beginning of summer, and uncover the metaphysical meanings of rituals like the May Pole. Richard will end with some folk dances and energy work to give us a taste of the mystical purpose of the May Pole Dance. You may be surprised! it’s not just a kid’s frivolous game.

 

If you missed the previous three sessions, you can catch up by watching the recordings on UGC’s You-Tube channel, just click HERE. Once on our YouTube channel scroll down until you see Richard's presentations.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

When we hear that expression it usually means we need to be suspicious of whoever or whatever we are referring to. How can we open to the good and the true that is possible and available to us in life? Can we become discerning rather than judgmental?

FROM THE BOARD

Speaker Committee Presentation


With all the chaotic events happening around the world and in our own country, we may have differing views on who is speaking the truth or who is the “bad” guy. Feelings of anxiety, loss of control, and difficulty keeping ourselves grounded may overwhelm us. This coming Friday… Tomorrow April 19, Unity’s speaker committee is bringing to our center two speakers that can help us with our actions and words to depolarize our conversations and interactions with others who we may degree with. How about being respectful and holding space for those who have different views, sharing with love our perspectives and beliefs in our conversations and actions? We can utilize these techniques in any disagreements or challenging encounters we have that may not even be political in nature. Please come and join us on our journey to share the love with everyone, learning how to speak our truth without stomping on some else’s truth. Come to Unity at 6pm this Friday evening and share in the fun of leaning some new skills. A small $20 donation will be collected at the door and will be added to our roof fund. This is an easy way to learn something and support our Unity Spiritual Center. Hope to see all your smiling faces there!

With Love,

Ann Somervell

 


BRIDGING OUR MINISTRY

From our BOT president, Marlene

 

Dear Friends,

We have some extra costs this year during our new minister search. Flying prospective ministers out for a weekend-long service, moving the final candidate to our community, and paying two ministers while Rev Jere shows the new minister the ins and outs of our Center, all take time and money. 

 

To help cover the costs, we are having two silent online auctions this year. The first one will be June 9th. It will be a service auction. The second one will be handmade arts and crafts items as well as fine quality goods. It will be towards the end of November or early December. Your help and suggestions will make both of these events a huge success! - Plus, they are a lot of fun!

 

SERVICE AUCTION coming up June 9th!

 

If you have a skill or item that can be donated for the auction, pleases fill out a form. The forms will be located at the back table and in the foyer. 

 

Examples of services you can provide:

Have a boat? you can take people for an afternoon ride.

Have a truck? Offer to take someone's trash to the dump

Know Reiki? Healing Touch? Hypnotherapy? Acupuncture? etc. Offer someone a treatment.

Know how to bake? Offer your goods.

Are you a great cook? Offer a gourmet dinner or picnic lunch.

Have a cabin? Donate a weekend.

Are you an artist? Offer to Paint/draw a portrait

The ideas are endless!

How are you doing this political season?

Come and see and practice "Skills for Disagreeing Better" TOMORROW, April 19th, 2024 from 6-8 pm. Our presenters will be Jeff and Martha Kirishian who are members of Braver Angels, an organization started by Blue and Red leaning folks who want to help depolarize our politics and regain the ability to share and discuss perspectives, and respect each other while doing so.

BELTANE/MAY EVE TALK & CELEBRATION - as Beginning of Summer

Wed., May 1 - 10 am to Noon

 

Richard Feather Anderson will continue to lead us on a journey to help us better live in attunement with the seasonal cycles of Nature - by re-discovering the original purpose of our seasonal holidays, which are mostly derived from festivals and customs of the indigenous cultures of Europe. We will examine why it makes sense in our region to follow the Celtic Calendar’s designation of May Eve as the beginning of summer, and uncover the metaphysical meanings of rituals like the May Pole. Richard will end with some folk dances and energy work to give us a taste of the mystical purpose of the May Pole Dance. You may be surprised! it’s not just a kid’s frivolous game.

 

If you missed the previous three sessions, you can catch up by watching the recordings on UGC’s You-Tube channel, just click HERE. Once on our YouTube channel scroll down until you see Richard's presentations.

SUNDAY SERVICE

April 14, 2024

10:30 AM



PERENNIAL SPIRITUALITY

Rev. Jere Farrell



If we look at religion and spirituality down through history we can see that there are two approaches that can be taken to life's deepest questions. Depending on which approach we take we come up with very different answers. This Sunday we will look at what is called the perennial philosophy and how Unity fits into that. Join us for what will be an interesting talk.

FROM THE BOARD

 

The Eclipse caused a great stir in some circles with dire predictions. Seems like someone is always proclaiming 'the sky is falling' or 'it's the end of the world'. I like the R.E.M. song which says "it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine." It is always the end of the world as we know it. Which is really the theme of the Easter message; there is always suffering and death, and there is always resurrection as well at the same time, if you know how to find it. Sometimes that is the grief process. Sometimes it is centering ourselves. Sometimes it is just getting out of bed and putting one foot in front of another. And sometimes it is leaning on each other, leaning on someone who knows it for us until we can walk more steadily on our own once again. Whatever is going on in the world, or in your world, we walk together in spiritual community. I can't think of a better group to walk with than UGC!

 

Rev. Jere


 

IMAGINAL HEALING IS BACK!

THE JOYS OF NATURE

 

"Every year it happens: earth shakes her sleepy head, still a bit wintered and dull, and feels new life stirring. Every year cocoons give up their treasures, fresh shoots push through brown leaves, seemingly dead branches shine with green, and singing birds find their way home. Every year the dull and dead in us meets the challenge: to be open to the unexpected, to believe beyond our security, to welcome God in every form, and trust in our own greening." - Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary

 

"Everything in existence is a manifestation of the one living being we call God. Everything is God -- everything is a mirror that reflects light and creates images of that light -- the real us is pure love, pure light" - Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

 

Mountains have a dreamy way

of folding up a noisy day

In quiet covers, cool and gray.

FROM THE BOARD

Benefits of Decluttering

 

Spring for me is a time of renewal and recharging from the inside out. Giving attention to the state of my home environment is an important project. I feel inspired to clean out and declutter cupboards, closets, and drawers. When there is order, neatness, and some open space in my home, it is easier for me to become quiet, rest, breathe, meditate, and heal.

With the above in mind, I began 3 weeks ago by cleaning the refrigerator.   It may sound crazy but when I now open the refrigerator door and see the clean shelves and veggie/fruit bins, I feel happy for myself and what I’ve done. Inspired by that, I then moved through the kitchen cupboards and drawers. 

The personal satisfaction and joy I feel when this annual activity is complete truly adds to my happiness and sense of well-being. It also expands my heart and frees me up to do more reading, jigsaw puzzles, and art projects with friends, (fun stuff). I truly see this time as a win-win for every aspect of life, for which I am deeply grateful.

Cydne Grimsby, BOT Member  

 


VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

for April is Mary Jo Kim!

 

It is such an honor to be selected Volunteer of the month. I am deeply touched….

At the Membership Orientation, two years ago, we shared life experiences that had brought us to Unity Spiritual Center. It was then the realization arose that I was amongst like-minded folks. (Unity had just opened its doors after Covid.) I had the sense that I’d found my Spiritual home.

This week Reverend Jere shared Charles Fillmore’s vision of Unity as being a school rather than a church. That caught my attention. As I look back at the various book studies such as Way of Mastery and A Course of Love and many others, the realization that, indeed, Unity has been a school of spiritual teachings for me. And I am so grateful.

   Then several months ago I started volunteering to help with the altar. My mentors, Kristie and Peter were a delight to work and create with. Now am working with Karen in collaboration to create a thing of beauty, the altar. Recently have been working with Heidi in hospitality putting out coffee and yummy treats after Sunday service. Volunteering has offered me the opportunity to develop deeper bonds with these people I’ve come to know and love and trust. Volunteering has taken me to yet another level of relationship with Unity as the bonds of friendship take root and grow. A sense of 

Be-longing has blossomed. The take-away lesson for me is that working together brings Unity to our Comm-unity

God Bless.

Thank you, Mary Jo! We appreciate you and all you do! 

We love you,

Rev Jere, Lezlie, the Board, and the congregation

Youth and Family Ministry at UGC

from Julie Zumwalt

 

I was propelled into a bit of a time warp moment last month and had to catch my breath. I was preparing to work in the Sunday School Classroom (I call it the Mini-Kids room) and getting ready to prepare the attendance log. My first date back was March 10, 2024. The last date in the log? March 8, 2020! Whooooosh…right back to the Covid shut down and all that meant to our spiritual community and to our daily lives. After I had a chance to regain my breath, I realized that in these 4 years, UGC has many members who have joined that have never seen or experienced a Youth and Family Ministry in our spiritual community. I also realized that many new congregants might not even know what a YFM might entail or even what the programs are called. Let me introduce you!

 

In Unity ministries around the globe, Youth and Family Ministry is referred to just as that!! Children and families go hand-in-hand in our spiritual communities. Unity WorldWide even has a special Certified Spiritual Educator-Youth Minister in their seminary program. Under the YFM umbrella, there can be 4 programs including:

                 Babies-Toddlers-Preschoolers (UGC historically called these “Mini-Kids”)

                  Youth Education “YE" - generally school age to pre-teens

                  Uniteens - pre-teen to high school age

                  Youth Of Unity or “YOU” - high schoolers

Curriculum and support for all of these programs is available through Unity WorldWide and through our West Central Region representatives. We also have lots of curriculum from the past on file at UGC.

 

Before Covid, UGC had a busy YFM filling 1-3 classrooms and even had a Director/Team Leader. The wind got knocked out of the sails of our YFM during Covid but there has been a continued intention and effort to create a new era of YFM at UGC. I will speak for myself when I say that I miss the sounds and energy of babies and children in our halls and sanctuary!

Currently, Sandy Spurgeon and I are working to form at least 1 combined classroom for children who come to UGC with their parents, grandparents and guardians. While there is much work to be done, we are taking the first steps. We are looking for more volunteers to join us in sharing Unity principles with the future generations. Help keep the vibrancy of our spiritual center alive by legacy building with children and families in our community!

IS EASTER ALL THAT IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE?

Rev. Jere Farrell



That is a really important question isn't it. And the answer to the question might be in the story of an egg. Eggs, after all, are symbols of whatever it is that we are celebrating this Easter. Join us this Sunday for an upbeat and inspiring message that answers the question in the talk title. Invite a friend. Maybe they are in need of some inspiration in this crazy time in our history. Maybe they are looking for some spiritual companions who know something about overcoming and resurrection!

FROM THE BOARD

 

I’d like to share a meditation/prayer from Richard Rohr with you today.

 

Letting Things Be Enough

I believe gazing is a form of prayer that lets things having no right to draw forth awe leave us awestruck. I sat on the bench in our parking lot and looked at the cracked asphalt. There it is. Why is it there? I don’t know why, but its mere being made me love it, made me appreciate it, made me thank it. I did the same with three dumpsters in the lot. Really! They were ugly and covered with graffiti. Fortunately, the graffiti right on the front says, “I love you!” Facing toward my house, a little graffiti saying, “I love you!” I even looked at the raggedy fence line, torn and repaired. I looked at it until it was at least a little bit beautiful. That’s what kept happening for the whole hour and a half I was sitting on the bench.

It was just beautiful because I let it be beautiful, or God let it be beautiful. I wasn’t looking for answers, and the more I gazed without judgment, without analysis, without critique, the more beautiful everything became.

The nakedness of life in its nakedness becomes enough.

 

Something to Ponder. . . 

In gratitude, 

Marlene

It really is possible to live with that profound openness all the time, even while tending to your everyday tasks and obligations. In What’s in the Way Is the Way, Mary offers practical guidance for meeting all of your experience with an abiding sense of ease, trust, and peace of mind.

BEING RENEWED AND REFRESHED

FROM THE BOARD

Paying it forward (and getting it back!)

 

  A couple months ago, I was running late to a meeting, and, I was supposed to bring donuts. As I was pulling into the parking lot of the donut shop, I noticed a wallet on the pavement. The drivers license indicated it was Teresa‘s and had her residence address. There was no phone number so I checked Google maps and found that her home was only 7 miles away, but in the wrong direction from my meeting. “I don’t have time for this”, was my first thought. But, if it was mine, I would want it back right away. “I’m gonna be late for my meeting”, I sighed. Teresa wasn’t home so I set the wallet where she would find it, and as I was leaving, I said aloud, “pay it forward”.

  Two days later my wife was looking at social media and said to me, “Hey Honey, someone found your credit card! You need to call this number.”

What?!! I didn’t even know it was missing! As it turned out, I stopped for Girl Scout cookies, and while paying, I had dropped my wallet and the credit card fell out. One of the Girl Scouts spotted it and gave it to her parents, who posted on social media.  The moment felt full circle. I had found a wallet and returned it. Now, I was having my credit card returned to me. Paying it forward, and getting it back! 

After a prayer of gratitude, and telling the parent how much I appreciated the good deed, I couldn’t help but hope the Girl Scout received big “honesty” and “pay it forward” merit badges. 

 

Paying it forward,

Kurtis Zumwalt

"Art never stopped a war and never got anybody a job. That was never its function. Art cannot change events. But it can change people.

WHAT ARE WE IN UNITY?

Rev. Jere Farrell



It seems that the energy of the times is all about figuring out who and what we are, and want. Our country is at a crossroads once again as it decides how we want to show up in the world. Unity is undergoing its own discussion as to what our future will look like. This Sunday we continue our own exploration of who, what and how we want to show up in the religious/spiritual world. All good and much needed. Clarity is always helpful. Join us Sunday for further musings.

FROM THE BOARD

 

I know many of you have thoroughly enjoyed the concerts we have had at Unity. Remember Karen Drucker and Kellie Garmire who did three concerts for us. A lot of people have expressed interest in us to continue having them. Also popular are having people come to speak and do workshops. We have been blessed to have Jeddah Mali come for a weekend workshop. Most recently we had a lovely talk with our own Trudy Stoner. It also has been expressed that people would like more of this in our Unity church.

In order for us to continue with concerts and speakers, we need people to step up and help us fill two different volunteer positions. One is a Speaker event coordinator. This could even be two people sharing this spot. It would involve scheduling the event, finding out the needs of the person coming and making sure everything was handled for the event.

The next person needed is a Marketing person. This would involve advertising for the event. Flyers, newspapers, Facebook etc. Two people could also share this position. So, if you are reading this and feel that you could help in either of these posts…please contact me, Carly Tousley or Lezlie at the office.

I just want to remind you again, you not only help Unity, but it’s really beneficial for you. You gain an increased sense of participation, more self-esteem and self-efficacy and reduced loneliness. I have met so many of you, by my volunteering and it’s fun!

 

Blessings,

 Carly

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD

 

"Feel your intentions in your heart. Feel not what your mind tells you, but what your heart tells you. Rather than serve the fake gods of your mind, serve your heart, the real God. You will not find God in your intellect. Divine Intelligence is in the heart." - Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul

 

"It is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his purpose in this life. One never goes wrong following his feeling. I don't mean emotions. I mean feeling, for feeling and intuition are one." - Albert Einstein

 

"We are from God and we carry in our minds and hearts the ripple of the Divine mind. The intuition, passion, and luminosity of the individual imagination are infused with urgency of the Divine. Thus, when we enter into our creativity, we are in the rhythm of the Divine creator." - John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace

TWO WORDS . . . GARDEN MARKET!

 

Our UGC gardeners are planning their gardens and will be offering even more this year!

O LOVE, PREPARE ME

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

One of my favorite songs is Sanctuary which we will sing this Sunday. It reminds us that we are all about being a sanctuary within, a place where love resides. After all, it is our essence and only when we know this can we extend that love to others. I also like in the song that we ask LOVE to help us to become that sanctuary. Because left to ourselves I doubt that it is going to happen. O Love, prepares us all. Amen. May it be so soon!

NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION

 

Our next New Member Orientation is scheduled on March 16th. Please be sure to complete a New Member application and submit it to Lezlie by Wednesday, March 13th!


 

FROM THE BOARD

 

Lately I have had some new insight into my spiritual growth. Sometimes it takes a while for spiritual teachings to be fully appreciated. I find that when I hear the same thoughts over and over and over and I hear them through multiple sources, they finally start to sink in. Like the light bulb finally turning on. 

 

Well, my new insight is this - the whole spiritual game is mostly about mind control. I think this phrase has some negative connotations, so I like the phrase thought control. It could be argued that 100% of being spiritual is about controlling your thoughts. The “Way of Mastery” is filled with discussions of thought control. There are exercises that challenge you to look at every thought that you have and evaluate them on their merits. Do you judge? Are your thoughts negative? Do you criticize yourself and others? Do you stay neutral in your thoughts? Are your thoughts Christ-like? 



In having this insight, I have also realized that thought control is quite the challenge, especially being human in this world. There are a lot of opportunities to stray from Christ-like thoughts.  Well, that is my challenge and maybe yours too. It will take some diligence that is for sure.

JEANNE CASSELLA 1929-2024

 

Dennis wanted to thank all those who expressed their condolences to him on the passing of his Mom on March 1st. She had an intestinal bleed on Wednesday 28th, was hospitalized and passed in her sleep early Friday morning. She had a wonderful life and lived in her home for over 70 years, moving to a lovely Assisted Living in Folsom last August. She had just celebrated her 95th birthday on February 4th with all her children. She was definitely the matriarch of the family and will be sorely missed. 


VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH

Leita Spoto!

 

Leita began receiving "Wee Wisdom" (a former Unity magazine written for children) when she was 5 years old. It guided her in her understanding of Spirit and living a life of love throughout her life.

 

In her own words Leita shares:

I was 50 years old when I discovered that “Wee Wisdom magazine was Published by Unity church and written by the co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore.

Unity began where Wee Wisdom left off in my life with the messages of Rev. Arlene Aull, Rev. Joe Sloan, and Rev. Jere Farrell. “Enforcing the knowledge, we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Unity In the Gold Country is based on five spiritual principles and filled with light and love, and with some of the dearest friends of my life. 

This is why I have volunteered for so many years in Unity in the Gold Country.

I have been:

Member about 22 years; A chaplain for many years; Librarian for about 15 years; 2 terms on the Board of Trustees; and preparing the altar once a month for about 10 years.

 

Thank you Leita for your unending gift of service to Unity in the Gold Country and your inspiring presence. We love you and appreciate you, Rev, Jere, the Board, and the congregants.

IN HONOR OF REV. JERE'S BIRTHDAY ON MARCH 14TH!

 

Pi Day - March 14

The Mathematical, Spiritual, Infinite Meaning of Life

Math enthusiasts, nerds, spiritual seekers, and other weirdos celebrate Pi Day every March 14th. Pi, composed as the Greek letter “π,” is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. The name "pi" comes from the Greek word "perimetron," which means "perimeter" in English. Pi enthusiasts use the day to banter about infinite digits, talk to friends about math, and eat pie. Pi has been calculated to over 50 trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it continues infinitely without repetition or pattern. Pi's pervasiveness goes beyond math. The number crops up in the natural world, too. It appears everywhere there's a circle, such as the disk of the sun, the spiral of the DNA double helix, the pupil of the eye, the concentric rings that travel outward from splashes in ponds. Pi also appears in the physics that describes waves, such as ripples of light and sound. It even enters into the equation that defines how precisely we can know the state of the Universe. Steven Strogatz, professor of mathematics at Cornell, says the beauty of pi is that it puts infinity within reach. The digits of pi go on forever, seemingly at random, but they're not random because they embody the order inherent in a perfect circle.

 

"God is the One whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere. God is all inclusive, the essence of everything within all things, but not enclosed; outside all things, but not excluded; above all things, but not aloof; below all things, but not debased. God is all in all. From her, through him, and in her, is all power, presence and essence." - St. Bonaventure, Franciscan bishop and theologian

 

"The kingdom of God is omnipresence. It is absolute, changeless. It is within, but it is also everywhere. It is God transcendent." - Charles Fillmore, New Testament Metaphysical Interpretation

CHANGING STATE

Rev. Angelika Schafer

 

For too long we did not realize how powerful our minds are, projecting and attracting our experience of life according to our habits and programming. As humanity is gaining greater understanding of how our brains and nervous systems operate we now have more awareness and greater tools to be able to train and direct the power of our minds and connect with our higher faculties. How do we want to focus this power? Let's practice changing state at will and experience who we truly are beyond the habits of the mind.

FROM THE BOARD

 

Anticipation! There is a patch of creamy white daffodils in my backyard that greets me every morning. Daffodils symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, hope and joy. I can feel the joy of Spring! I went on an internet search for all things daffodil and found this wonderful poem that I would like to share with you. May we all be blessed by the gifts of Mother Earth.

 

In gardens where whispers of spring are heard,

Lies a little yellow cup, undeterred.

Cradling dewdrops from the morning's kiss,

A symbol of joy, in simple bliss.

 

Not just a flower, but a beacon bright,

Casting shadows in the early light.

Each petal, a ray of the sun's own heart,

In earth's canvas, a masterpiece, a part.

 

Amidst the green, it stands alone, so bold,

A story of resilience, untold.

With every breeze, it dances, carefree,

A cup of sunshine, for you and me.

Emily Verse

 

All in Love,

Katharine Mary Beatty


 

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH

Leita Spoto!

 

Leita began receiving "Wee Wisdom" (a former Unity magazine written for children) when she was 5 years old. It guided her in her understanding of Spirit and living a life of love throughout her life.

 

In her own words Leita shares:

I was 50 years old when I discovered that “Wee Wisdom magazine was Published by Unity church and written by the co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore.

Unity began where Wee Wisdom left off in my life with the messages of Rev. Arlene Aull, Rev. Joe Sloan, and Rev. Jere Farrell. “Enforcing the knowledge, we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Unity In the Gold Country is based on five spiritual principles and filled with light and love, and with some of the dearest friends of my life. 

This is why I have volunteered for so many years in Unity in the Gold Country.

I have been:

Member about 22 years; A chaplain for many years; Librarian for about 15 years; 2 terms on the Board of Trustees; and preparing the altar once a month for about 10 years.

 

Thank you Leita for your unending gift of service to Unity in the Gold Country and your inspiring presence. We love you and appreciate you, Rev, Jere, the Board, and the congregants.

SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION

What's in the Way Is the Way

by Mary O'Malley

 

What's In The Way Is The Way is an inspiring shared experience. Imagine for a moment that you had no pressures in your life―no problems to fix, no deadlines to meet, no struggles to overcome. Do you feel that sense of spacious relief? It’s not an illusion, teaches Mary O’Malley. It really is possible to live with that profound openness all the time, even while tending to your everyday tasks and obligations. In What’s in the Way Is the Way, Mary offers practical guidance for meeting all of your experience with an abiding sense of ease, trust, and peace of mind. Led by Rev. Jere. Introduction, chapters one and two for this Tuesday.

PRAYER

 

"True prayer is meant to be a vital process that transforms the consciousness of the one praying. It is not something we try to do to God or to a problem or need. It is a spiritual shift we cultivate entirely within ourselves." - Roger Teel, This Life is Joy

 

"I always imagined when I was a kid that adults had some kind of inner toolbox, full of shiny tools: the saw of discernment, the hammer of wisdom, the sandpaper of patience. But then when I grew up I found that life handed you these rusty bent old tools -- friendships, prayer, conscience, honesty -- and said, "Do the best you can with these."

- Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies

 

"The paradox of prayer is that as it strengthens us inwardly, it also strengthens us outwardly. As we grow spiritually, we become ever more effective catalysts of love in the marketplace. We discover the Holy One within us and the Holy One beyond us. We learn there are no divisions between the sacred and the secular when our vision is transformed. Our entire life becomes imbued with God-ness as we notice the Holy One's touch anywhere and everywhere." - Joyce Rupp, Prayer

 

"Prayer is the pure practice that replenishes the soul, lifts us up, and heals us. Are you struggling in an area of your life? Pray about it, and know that we do not pray to change God or to change conditions. We pray to change ourselves. We pray to steep our hearts and minds in infinite blessing, energy, and love. We pray to align our consciousness with the mind of the Universe. We pray to know the Truth so deeply that the Divine will be revealed in our lives." - Scott Awbrey

FROM THE BOARD

Loving Experience

 

February is often thought of a the month to celebrate love. I have learned that romantic love is only one way to experience what love feels like. Loving oneself can sometimes be more difficult than loving others… even those we don’t necessarily like. How I talk to myself and what thoughts I hold about my worth are so important in the experience of loving myself. The following quote from Corinthians says it all. I have a copy on my kitchen wall to remind me each morning what I want to focus on today. Can we do this for ourselves as well as for others? That’s the journey I’m on. Love is always the answer. “Love is patient love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails”. “There is no power that can stop us from loving besides ourselves. You have total control over this.”- Way of Mastery

 

Love and blessings,

Ann Somervell

FROM THE BOARD

 

I guess it is starting to feel real. Ever since I announced my last day (October 31st) my retirement has started to feel more real. It struck me that it isn't just about almost 20 years of working at UGC, but the end of 37 years of public ministry. That really struck home recently. It is a long time to be in the public eye as a priest/minister. It feels nice to think about being just a private citizen. Mostly there is a sense of relief, of taking a weight off. Interestingly enough, I now feel that I have more energy and enthusiasm to do whatever I can between now and my last day. I think we have all met someone who had shortimer's syndrome- counting the days and not really putting in too much effort. Definitely not how I feel. I intend to give it my all and leave it all on the field of play, so to speak. And, yes, there are moments of grief for me too, but mostly just incredible gratitude for the people who have been part of my life these past 37 years. I am so richly blessed and I feel I have lived an incredible life. THANK YOU! Now let's enjoy the next few months together.

Love always,

Rev. Jere

STANDING ON AND IN LOVE

Rev. Jere Farrell



It is very easy for spirituality or religions to get lost in the weeds of beliefs. It is also so easy for us to get lost searching for love. This Valentine's day focused talk is all about standing on a firm foundation for our lives and our faith. Come join us on Sunday for another good one with some of our favorite songs.

FROM THE BOARD

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR OUR

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2-25-24


 

SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION

What's in the Way Is the Way

by Mary O'Malley

 

Rev. Jere will be leading a new book study for Spiritual Exploration beginning February 20th. What's In The Way Is The Way promises to be an inspiring shared experience. This book was highly recommended by Patt & David Lind Kyle.

Imagine for a moment that you had no pressures in your life―no problems to fix, no deadlines to meet, no struggles to overcome. Do you feel that sense of spacious relief? It’s not an illusion, teaches Mary O’Malley. It really is possible to live with that profound openness all the time, even while tending to your everyday tasks and obligations. In What’s in the Way Is the Way, Mary offers practical guidance for meeting all of your experience with an abiding sense of ease, trust, and peace of mind.

 

The book is available in the bookstore.

Tuesdays, 10:30a-12p starting 2/20/24


TALKS ON “TUNING INTO NATURE'S SEASONS” CONTINUE

 

Richard Feather Anderson will continue his talks on “Riding the Waves of the Earth’s Seasonal Cycles” - to cover all eight of the ancient holy days in the Celtic Calendar, that we also celebrate in various forms in the U.S. The intention is to help us all become more aware of the subtle and often invisible changes happening in Nature; provide alternative information about the beginning of the seasons within ancient indigenous cultures; help us recognize the parallel shifts in our own emotional, psycho-spiritual journeys through the year; and use the forces of Nature to support our own life ventures.

  • Spring Equinox - Wed, March 13, 10 to noon
  • May Eve/Beltaine - Wed, May 1, 10 to noon
  • Midsummer Solstice - Wed, June 19, 10 to noon

If you would like to review Richards' presentation of January 30th, click

LOVE AND VALENTINES

 

"Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth. It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders all bitterness sweet and acceptable. Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, higher, nothing more fulfilling in heaven or earth; for love is born of God. Love flies, runs and leaps for joy. It is free and unrestrained. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength. Love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. It is strange and effective, while those who lack love faint and fail. Love is not fickle and sentimental, nor is it intent on vanities. Like a living flame and a burning torch, it surges upward and surmounts everything." - Thomas Kempis

 

On this Valentine's Day, open the eyes of your heart to see the evidence of God's love all around. Wait in silence, simply witnessing without critique. Gradually take all of it in. Welcome what is. Ask your inner witness where it sees love in this moment. Let your heart see that you are part of the Divine Reality of love. - unknown



“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu

"IS YOUR LIFE HAPPENING TO YOU, OR BY YOU?"

Rev. Joe Sloan

 

Does your life always seem to be happening "to you,” a life over which you seem to have little control or say? If so, it could be said that you are in a state of To Me consciousness (at it’s worst, a Victim consciousness). and you are like the most of the rest of us most of the time. Stuff will happen. Its how you deal with it, take control and move on that counts. Regardless of what happens, you can live your life By Me rather than To Me. We will look at how that applies to you and me.

FROM THE BOARD

 

What vibrant conversations we had at our last round table discussions! In addition to the great ideas from the discussions that occurred in the sanctuary, we also had people on Zoom and people responding on our webpage. In all, more than 80 people participated 

We took all the suggestions and grouped them by topic to find out what we, as a community, envision our future at UGC to hold. Yvonne Bartlett typed out all your suggestions and they're on the back table in the sanctuary. Be sure to check them out.

The top 7 goals that showed up are listed below in order of interest.

  1. Youth program/Family Activities
  2. Increase in Publicity/Advertisement
  3. Music presentations
  4. UGC become a Blue Zone. Blue Zones have the following elements:

Some type of spirituality.

Simple, healthy eating, fresh foods, more plant-based than processed.

Being outside and moving around more.

Allowing time for intergenerational community, cultivating friendships,

a sense of purpose, and relaxation.

(People tend to live longer and healthier in Blue Zones)

5. Outreach. (Interaction with other Faith Groups).

6. More class time options for working individuals and for youth.

7. Greater diversity in presentations.

 

We are in this together, in love.

Marlene


VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH FOR FEBRUARY

is Larry Homan!!

 

I have been at UGC for about 20 years, I guess. Carolyn and I came about the same time as Jerry arrived. Sunday services were held is a couple of rental spaces over a few years. As we grew, we purchased and completely rebuilt what was formerly Grey Electric Co., where the center now merrily resides.

I have been an official member of UGC since we were back in the old Health Dept. building.

I was drawn to Unity, as so often is the case, by my dear wife, Carolyn. After hearing Rev. Joe speak, I knew this was a place I wanted to be. As so many others have stated, in Linda Ronstadt's words: Feels Like Home to me.

I stay at Unity because it provides me with the spiritual health I need. After leaving the Catholic Church of my youth, I always remained in touch with my spiritual self, but mainly, I think, through the ocean: surfing, sailing, scuba diving- - you name it. Moving from a small Pacific atoll to Nevada City in 1986, put me not in the ocean, but in the pines... My many friends at Unity, all the fellowship, classes, activities, speakers — and Rev. Jere's commitment to evolving and exploring new avenues of spiritual growth have kept me here. This, and so much morel

I've helped in the construction of both our Unity Spiritual Centers, then, along with John Martin, sort of became by default the "go-to" handy man for myriad odd-jobs and maintenance work over the years, including striping the parking lot, installing new toilets, locks, door repairs, etc. I have been involved in many of the classes offered over the years, and still am. I served as secretary and Vice President on the Board of Trustees for five years.

Unity has changed my life in so many ways, literally in spirit, body, and mind. I've made so many new friends, enjoyed working on all the projects, both inside and out, and contributed as best I can whenever possible. Spiritually, i have grown more than I can say, and continue to evolve in that direction constantly.

I can't imagine life without the support of my beloved spiritual community, Unity in the Gold Country.

 

Dearest Larry, we love and we appreciate you so much!

Rev. Jere, your BOT and congregation


 

 

HEALTH AND SALAD SUNDAY!

 

This Sunday we will be offering salad along with the usual treats. Please bring your favorite salad condiments and dressing! Our resident retired RN's will be offering blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring immediately after the Service, in the library.

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated. - Coretta Scott King

 

Black History Month must be more than just a month of remembrance; it should be a tribute to our history and reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead. - Marty Meehan

 

Won’t it be wonderful when black history and Native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history. - Maya Angelou

 

One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings. - Franklin Thomas, activist and philanthropist

SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION - BEGINNING OF SPRING

JANUARY 30TH, 10:30 am to 12 pm

 

This class will begin with a presentation by Mary Huse and Anne Alyse on Spring and The Five Elements. Spring is the beginning of the season cycle, a time of birth and new beginnings. It is also the energy of the element of Wood. This is the energy that brings forth new growth, that pushes the new grass through the snow, the new branches out from old wood, produces new leaves. It does this so nature can take in the nourishment it needs to flourish. Mary and Anne Alyse will be sharing this and so much more, including Stepping into Springtime, an Asian approach for staying healthy with the many blessings as well of challenges the Wood season. 

 

Spring in Celtic Spirituality -Richard Anderson will continue to lead us on a journey to re-discover the original purpose of our oldest holidays, as symbolic activities that can help us live in attunement with the seasonal cycles of Nature. We will explore the holidays clustered around February 1, in the Celtic and other indigenous calendars, which they regarded as the beginning of Spring. In this session, we will delve into the rich mythological dramas that are the basis of the Earth Festivals, in which deities (like a horned god and earth goddess) journey around the “wheel of the year.” We can benefit by reviving the ancient practice of using this year myth to connect our own spiritual growth journeys to the developing energies of Nature’s seasonal cycles. The festivals of Candlemas, Brigid, and even Groundhog’s Day, can teach us how to navigate the transition from the wintry season of introspection and visioning in the dark dreamtime - into planting the seeds of those visions in our next personal growing season.

 

If you missed the first session about Midwinter Solstice and the seasons in our Mediterranean climate zone, please watch it on UGC’s You-Tube channel (click HERE), so that you’ll have the context for this next phase of the story.


FROM THE BOARD

 

During our white stone ceremony at the beginning of January, Rev. Jere asked us to reset our energy for the new year and to write down what came to us during the ceremony. It was a surprise for me…

Peace… Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

Easier said than done! I struggle with being peaceful and actively work on creating a peace bubble that surrounds me and my loved ones. But it often gets pretty tattered! Driving home recently, I guess I wasn’t going fast enough for the driver behind us as he was tailgating, honking, and nearly ran us off the road while driving recklessly. Shredded peace bubble? Yep! Rev. Lani Howard’s wonderful talk, “Principles of Beloved Community” reminded me that the answer is forgiveness. As I watched Mr. Angry spin his tires away, I blurted out loud, “I forgive you (and be safe)”. Instantaneously, I felt better. Peace bubble intact.

My New Year’s wish for each of you is deep, deep peace.

 

With peace,

Kurtis Zumwalt

The Energy Healing Clinics offers 40 minute sessions at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm with a $20 suggested donation to Unity in the Gold Country, but no one with an appointment is turned

away.

 

Options for February include

Acupuncture with Mary Huse or with Anne Alyse Ostis;

Adjust and Align with Pam Strong;

Body Talk with Patricia Haller;

Energy Healing with David Kyle;

Healing Touch with Julia Hamilton;

Hypnotherapy with Theresia Evans;

Non-Force Chiropractic and EFT with Dr. Lorre Eaton;

Nurture yourself by reserving a session with one of our caring energy healing practitioners. The different modalities they offer provide opportunities for opening to a clearer vision of one’s spiritual gifts, harmonizing the subtle energy field and letting go of anxiety and tension. As the body relaxes, it naturally begins to heal, bringing enhanced feelings of peace and well-being.

 

Please call Kristie at 530-368-4465 with questions about any of the healing modalities and to reserve your February 11 session. Thank you!

 


 

SEASON OF NON-VIOLENCE

Begins January 30th

 

Quotes

Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy’s point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

"The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process." - Thich Nhat Hanh

 

“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the one who wields it. It is a sword that heals.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

– Martin Luther King Jr.

 

"Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being." - Mahatma Gandhi

 

“Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash; it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one’s whole being into the being of another.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

"Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed."

- Mahatma Gandhi

 

"Nonviolence requires a double faith: faith in God and faith in man." - Mahatma Gandhi

PRINCIPLES AND PERSONAL CREEDS

Rev. Jere Farrell

 

What does Unity teach and believe? But more importantly of that which Unity teaches what do I believe? Unity really doesn't have a Creed like some other religions but there are some basics. These can be made into a personal Creed. Come hear what one person came up with as her personal Creed and 12 Commandments which might help us get some ideas for ourselves. You won't be disappointed by these beautifully written and inspired personal principles.

SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION - BEGINNING OF SPRING

JANUARY 30TH, 10:30 am to 12 pm.

 

This class will begin with a presentation by Mary Huse and Anne Alyse on Spring and The Five Elements. Spring is the beginning of the season cycle, a time of birth and new beginnings. It is also the energy of the element of Wood. This is the energy that brings forth new growth, that pushes the new grass through the snow, the new branches out from old wood, produces new leaves. It does this so nature can take in the nourishment it needs to flourish. Mary and Anne Alyse will be sharing this and so much more, including Stepping into Springtime, an Asian approach for staying healthy with the many blessings as well of challenges the Wood season. 

 

Spring in Celtic Spirituality -Richard Anderson will continue to lead us on a journey to re-discover the original purpose of our oldest holidays, as symbolic activities that can help us live in attunement with the seasonal cycles of Nature. We will explore the holidays clustered around February 1, in the Celtic and other indigenous calendars, which they regarded as the beginning of Spring. In this session, we will delve into the rich mythological dramas that are the basis of the Earth Festivals, in which deities (like a horned god and earth goddess) journey around the “wheel of the year.” We can benefit by reviving the ancient practice of using this year myth to connect our own spiritual growth journeys to the developing energies of Nature’s seasonal cycles. The festivals of Candlemas, Brigid, and even Groundhog’s Day, can teach us how to navigate the transition from the wintry season of introspection and visioning in the dark dreamtime - into planting the seeds of those visions in our next personal growing season.

 

If you missed the first session about Midwinter Solstice and the seasons in our Mediterranean climate zone, please watch it on UGC’s You-Tube channel (click HERE), so that you’ll have the context for this next phase of the story.


FROM THE BOARD

I don’t need to go to therapy because I do jigsaw puzzles! They have saved me many times. For quite a while I would hear a suggestion, that it would be good for me to do jigsaw puzzles. I always ignored it because I was horrible at jigsaw puzzles. Finally, I gave in and got one and started.  I committed to finishing it no matter how long it took. I had such a hard time. I wanted to quit so many times, and just dump it in the trash. I even got teary eyed thinking I can’t do this. But after two months I did it.

I learned so much. It opened a part of my mind I wasn’t using much. I noticed I was able to solve things when I couldn’t before. I read quicker and felt very happy when I worked on it. I was also able to work on it and forget about life for a while. There is an actual study that says when someone works on a puzzle it increases the production of dopamine, a chemical that regulates mood, memory, and concentration.

Now after I finish a puzzle, I tear it down and start another one. My friends and family are on a quest to find me the hardest puzzles because I have a game that I must finish them. I have done an all blue one and have an all-white one to do soon.

Many people have something they do that is like what puzzles do for me. Drew plays guitar, people do art, sew, and knit. So, if you have something that is your therapy and haven’t been doing it...do it, it works!

Love and light,

Carly Tousley


VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU, OUR CONGREGANTS

 

Dear Unity Community family,

While the exact date for Rev. Jere's retirement has not yet been decided, we as a community are going to start moving forward in collecting information to help us be better prepared when the time does arrive. We want to know that we are prepared and strong as a community. We have the following planned for the next couple of months:

 

January 21:  We will have a short round table discussion (20 minutes) to talk about where we each would like to see UGC in 7 years, and in 4 years. How do you envision our community? Where would you like to see our growth? People? Classes? Activities? Outreach? etc.

 

February 4: After the regular service, we will have round table discussions (about 45 minutes) with lunch served to each table. Each table will be given a summary of the information collected on January 7 and 21. We will summarize this info together and start creating a plan.

 

February 11: After the regular service, we will continue a vision of what type of minister will meet the needs that we identified in the previous 3 meetings. Lunch will be provided again and the meeting will be about 45 minutes long.

 

We look forward to creating a vision with you. Together we are a strong, loving, and empowering community.


ZOOM PRAYER SERVICE

 

On Wednesdays we are now holding a Zoom prayer service from 11 to 11:30 each Wednesday morning. If you would like yourself or another to be held in the Light during this time, you may join us on the Zoom call and share those names.
