Dear Unity in the Gold Country Spiritual Family

With much gratitude, appreciation, and love,

Julie and Kurtis Zumwalt

CHOOSING POSSIBILITY

"Some of us keep a pebble in our pocket. Every time we put our hands in our pocket, we touch the small pebble. We practice mindful breathing and we feel very peaceful. When anger arises, the pebble becomes the dharma. The pebble in your pocket serves as your teacher, as your fellow practitioner -- it is a bell of mindfulness, allowing you to pause and return to your breathing. The pebble is a kind of rosary, it will allow love to be born in you." - Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger

"The practice of spirituality brings us to a place of caring about our creation, our God, and each other. Then the whole world will shift." - the Dalai Lama

"There are two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

"There is something in you that is greater than any condition or circumstance you’re facing. Something that was part of you when you were created. A presence and power awaiting your recognition. That’s an affirmation that we can take to heart and live with, the essence of unlimited possibility." - Scott Awbrey, Spiritual Passage

IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING THE PEOPLE'S MARCH ON SATURDAY

We understand concerns about the march feeling political, but for us, it’s about love, unity, and shared humanity. We’re not here to take sides—we’re here to build bridges and express the oneness that connects us all. With no exceptions, we stand together to spread compassion, peace, and understanding.

SOCIAL ACTION, SPIRITUALLY FED

Rev. Anand Anma

How do we face the injustices of the world without losing hope? This Sunday, we’ll explore how the Harmonizing power of Love nourishes our spirits and inspires us to take meaningful action (however small!). Together, we’ll reflect on the example of Martin Luther King Jr., and the courage inherent within all of us--finding the strength to speak up and create positive ripples of change & blessings. We move forward with grace, love, and faith as our guide.

Our musicians this Sunday are Drew Tousley, Tom Chesko, and Edward McNair - we are so excited to hear our new "trio"!

FROM THE BOARD

On Sunday our new minister Rev Anand Anma led her first service, The White Stone ceremony. She was welcomed with love by our congregation; we are so thrilled and lucky to have her. She is so loving and kind and very much here for us. She gives the best hugs, and when she smiles, the whole room lights up. I was blessed to be on the Finding our new Minister group with Sandy Spurgeon and Claire Palmerino. From reading her application, to interviewing her I knew. My knowing was like following a map. When Sandy and I picked her up at the airport and she gave me a hug, I knew. Listening to her workshop and her service, I knew. When you know, you just know. Rev Jere led the Burning Bowl ceremony, and I wrote on my paper I wanted to release Doubt. On my White Stone I wrote Knowing. This has all been an amazing spiritual lesson for me. Carlos Castaneda defines knowing as Silent Knowledge, and I love that.

REV. ANAND IS HOME . . .

WITH US!

Let's spend a little time getting to know her!

We will have a "fireside chat, a living room conversation" following the Sunday Service on February 2nd. You will get to know more about Rev. Anand as she answers your questions and she may get to know more about you by your questions!

WE HONOR MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Quotes

"When Martin Luther King said that ‘The arc of the moral universe bends towards justice,’ he was diving deep into the desire for a new day. We are called to live this new day. Maya Angelou said, ‘If we learn from history, we do not have to re-live the mistakes that were made.’ If we face our history honestly, openly, and lovingly, a new day can be born."

- Walter Brownridge, Episcopal priest

Quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.

"He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love."

"This Universe is not a tragic expression of meaningless chaos but a marvelous display of orderly cosmos."

"Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

"All life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality."

"Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the one who wields it. It is a sword that heals."

FROM THE BOARD

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to our future at Unity in the Gold Country. We are starting a new year with a new minister, Rev. Sarah Anand. Rev. Joe and Rev. Jere have given us such a strong foundation and they have both created a beautiful community here at UGC. With our new minister comes a tremendous opportunity and potential for change. I know that Rev. Anand has a lot of good ideas to continue the advancement of our spiritual community and I am quite excited to start hearing those ideas. As a reminder, it is up to all of us to be a part of the future of UGC. It is up to us to give Rev. Anand our support and work together to continue to grow, create, and expand our community.  There are many things in this world that we have limited control of, but our local community is affected by the participation of each and every one of us. Let’s make UGC the best it can be!!!!!!

FROM THE BOARD

What's It All About, Alfie?

So, here it is my last week at Unity in the Gold Country. I thought I would be a lot more emotional but so far, at least, I have felt nothing but gratitude and a huge sense of fulfilment. I remember the 3rd of October 1976 when I first went to the seminary, as if it were just yesterday. Since then there have been many winding roads but along the way there were wonderful people like all of you- at St. Philomena's Honolulu, St. Anthony's Kailua, and Our Lady of Good Counsel Pearl City. Then there were the priests I worked with in Menlo Park over six years, and the amazing people I got to meet and work with at Hospice of the Foothills over five years. How blessed I have been with the places I've lived and worked, but above all, how blessed I have been to have met so many loving and kind people wherever I went. It has been a remarkable journey for a shy kid from County Cork, who never wanted to leave Ireland really. I am a very fortunate man and I will cherish the memory of it all, but especially my relationships with you. 

It seems so inadequate to just say 'thank you' but it is said with a full heart. Many blessings to you all on the journey ahead. 

With heartfelt love and gratitude always.

Rev. Jere

A BRAND NEW YEAR

That the single, most significant dimension of life is your relationship with the Source of Goodness who never ceases to sing love songs to your soul. That you find meaning, purpose, and vitality in what you do daily. That you treasure your loved ones and let them know how dear they are to you. That you make choices and decisions that reflect your truest self. That you look in the mirror at least once a day and smile in happy amazement. That you carry peace within yourself, and encourage it to slip into the hearts of others, so our planet becomes a place where violence, division, and war are no more. Joyce Rupp

BURNING BOWL CEREMONY

Rev. Jere Farrell

Yes, it is that time of year again when we have our Burning Bowl ceremony. It is a time of letting go and opening up a space for some new energy in our lives, and as a spiritual community. This year it has special significance because, of course, you are letting go of me as your Senior Minister, and I am letting go of you as my congregation. It is all part of the cycle of beginning and endings, receiving and letting go. And all is well and as it should be. Say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new. Behold the I Am presence of your being makes all things new. And so it is!

Sarah Anand Anma will be starting at UGC on January 6th, and will be giving her first talk for our White Stone Ceremony, on Sunday, January 12th. The White Stone Ceremony is a sacred New Year tradition in Unity that invites us to embrace a fresh start by listening to Spirit for a word, a phrase, a symbol or an intention that gives us focus for our new year ahead. Inspired by ancient practices of receiving a new name as a sign of freedom and transformation, this ceremony empowers us to step into our divine purpose.

If you are joining us from home, you can have a small stone or a piece of paper and pencil handy on which to write. Onsite we will have supplies for you. 

We are so excited to begin this journey with Rev. Anand!

FROM THE BOARD

I was deeply touched and inspired by Rev. Jere’s message on Christmas Eve. An invitation to accept ourselves as Christ and shine our Divine Light to all. 

I have subscribed to Mike Dooley’s Notes from the Universe for years. I’d like to share an edited piece of the note from Christmas morning-

The real reason for this, and all seasons, is you. A more perfect child of the Universe has never lived. You are life’s prayer of becoming its answer. To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch, and dream, in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity. 

Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.

Magical merriment to all!

Katharine Mary Beatty

A BRAND NEW YEAR

'A sacred reality; a divine creation'

"As you look back on the year just completed: What name would you give to your journey of the past year? How would you describe it to one of your friends? What image or metaphor would you use to talk about it? Who were your wise persons? What was most satisfying about the year? As you look to the year before you: What name would you like your new year's journey to have? What gifts do you bring with you into the year before you? Do you find any resistance within you? What is your greatest need for the coming year?" - Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary

"We each have the human capacity and the spiritual wherewithal to allow the coming year to be a truly blessed and joyous time. A time of healing, renewal, and love made visible. We can be more faithfully prayed up, affirming our connection with the Divine and with each other. This year we can be more generous, kind, and light-hearted. More centered on the things of this life that reflect our deepest heart and our most noble intentions. Every day this year, no matter the circumstances, we can choose to feel blessed and to be a blessing for others." - Scott Awbrey, Spiritual Passages

This Sunday we will explore our approach to joy in our service and hopefully come away with some helpful insights for this season and always.

FROM THE BOARD

We’re in the holiday season where it seems everyone around us is happy, singing or listening to Christmas carols, shopping for presents and making good cheer. But what if this season you feel like life gave you lemons? The adage “make lemonade” might work. But what if you’re too tired to make lemonade? I remember chapters of Mary O’Malley’s book regarding how to find the “meadow” when you’re feeling the chaos of your mind. Remembering What’s in the Way is indeed the way forward to greater insight and growth. So, this year instead of feeling “less than” because I’m seeing lemons, I’m smelling lemons. I’m touching the lemons, tasting the lemons and observing the lemons turn from green to yellow. I find I like the scent of lemons! And maybe lemon trees even grow in my meadow. Wishing you Love and peace this holiday season and even some delicious lemonade!

'Greeting others as another Christ'

"May there be harmony in all your relationships. May sharp words, envious thoughts, and hostile feelings be dissolved. May you give and receive love generously. May this love echo in your heart like the joy of church bells on a clear December day. May each person who comes into your life be greeted as another Christ. May the honor given the Babe of Bethlehem be that which you extend to every guest who enters your presence. May the hope of this sacred season settle in your soul. May it be a foundation of courage for you when times of distress occupy your inner land." - Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary

3rd WEEK OF ADVENT - LOVE

Where is Love?

Rev. Joe Sloan

As good Unity Students we would probably say, “everywhere.' But if love is everywhere, why are we still searching. Everywhere is hard to hold on to. It keeps slipping through our fingers. I think sometimes we use the word too carelessly. We need to make sure what it is that we are looking for. Let’s start with what is Love?

FROM THE BOARD

Stand Up for Unity

A few days ago, I was talking with a neighbor who is a practicing Catholic. I said I used to be one, I even spent high school and college in the seminary, studying to be a priest. She asked me what changed for me. I told her it was about celibacy and some of the other restrictions the church held to be unchangeable, like not having women priests. Then she asked if I did not believe in the Eucharist and the body and blood of Christ being present in it. At first, I got a little defensive, then I realized that Christ is in everything. I told her that I now am a member of Unity, and I believe that we are all one, I am in Christ and Christ is in me, and everyone else. Then the defensiveness went away, and I felt proud of my belief in Unity. I realized we don’t have to be at odds with each other, it is possible to listen to other viewpoints and share knowledge.

 So, we continued to speak about church teachings and how some groups hold onto certain teachings as if they are cast in stone. She said some churches are against drinking alcohol, yet Jesus changed water into wine. I said that if we are all one in Christ and equal before God, why is there a patriarchy in the Catholic church that says women are not man enough to be priests? And priests must remain celibate and not marry. These are hard questions with different answers, depending on your background. We were able to speak a little more and agree to disagree. I used to feel guilty that I was no longer Catholic. But this conversation helped me realize that what I learned through Unity is we can rise above guilt and be proud that we are all one in Christ. And all is well.

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.

"We Make the Road by Walking" 

Author: Brian McLaren

So in this Advent season—this season of awaiting and pondering the coming of God in Christ—let us light a candle for Mary. And let us, in our own hearts, dare to believe the impossible by surrendering ourselves to God, courageously cooperating with God’s creative, pregnant power in us, for us, and through us. If we do, then we, like Mary, will become pregnant with holy aliveness.

OUR DEAR MEYER ZUMWALT -

. . . has been experiencing some health

challenges but he never loses his smile!

We continue to keep he and his family

in our prayers.

FROM THE BOARD

The Power of Gratitude

I’ve just completed the series of classes regarding our Fall Book Study, What’s in the Way, Is The Way. This has truly been an eye-opening, healing experience for me. I learned (again) about the importance and value in focusing on the breath:  In … Out . . . Deep... Slow . . . Calm … Ease . . . As is ... I’m here. 

I am using my breath more consciously to help with bouts of anxiety and fear-based thoughts. This helps me to shift into the Present Moment. From this space I am free to choose to focus on Gratitude. When I do this my entire being, physical-emotional-mental-spiritual, lightens up and I clearly feel different, much more relaxed and open to the here and now. 

When I pause and consider the many things I am grateful for, I experience a powerful shift out of depression, fear, and anxiety. One of my biggest struggles is thinking about the many “what if's” and how the next four years will unfold. I have wondered if I will be able to survive it all. When the internal tension becomes too strong, I find I am remembering to take a pause, and breathe. With the conscious breathing, I slowly begin to relax and return to my Center, my Heart. I’m so thankful to have been introduced to this amazing book and its healing messages. Thank you, Rev. Jere for this powerful book selection and the blessings it continues to bestow.

CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER

'Listening with the Ear of the Heart'

Charles Fillmore wrote, "We have access to the seed ideas of Divine Mind, and through prayer and meditation we quicken...the substance of those ideas." And Ernest Holmes taught that the purpose of prayer and contemplation is to unify our minds with Universal Mind. He said, "There is a power in the Universe greater than you are, and you can use it."

FROM THE BOARD

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new minister, Reverend Anand. Thank you for choosing us! I was on a divine journey when Reverend Anand first visited us earlier this month. Thanks to modern technology I watched events unfold from afar, participating in the workshop and service. I visited my home province in Austria for a family reunion. It was a unique opportunity for me to revisit the places I knew only from childhood and a brief visit in my 20s. I was 10 years old when my family and I emigrated to rural, Canada.  For the first time since then, all of my siblings gathered together near our childhood home. My oldest sister and three brothers flew in from Canada, one sister came from Vienna, our brother George and our parents joined us in spirit form. What made it a divine journey? It came into being quickly and effortlessly, all the details fell into place beautifully. My siblings and I came from all directions and arrived in Vorarlberg on our mom’s birthday. She would have been 94. We had dinner together in dad’s hometown, talked into the wee hours in mom’s hometown. All of us together in the place our ancestors called home. Did she plan it for us?  Even the weather played along beautifully. The day we chose to hike to the top of a mountain was the only day sunny from morning ‘til night – the views were spectacular! Perhaps we are on a divine journey every day of our lives. I’m honored to be sharing this with all of you. I’m grateful to be able to come home to such a vibrant spiritual community. Thank you! May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving celebration.

WEEK 8 OF OUR FALL PROGRAM

The Song of The Heart

Rev. Jere Farrell



The last week of our book study is entitled The Song of the Heart. The purpose of the book is to get us to discover the song that is in our hearts. What is the one song (uni-verse) that we are all singing- all of creation together? It is a song of compassion and love for ourselves, all creation and creator. It is sung from a consciousness of harmony. My hope and prayer is that during these past weeks that you find yourself singing from the page of love which is our true nature. Thanks for being on the journey together. Namaste! I behold the Love that you are.

FROM THE BOARD

In this time of Thanksgiving

Every morning, Julie and I include gratitude in our morning devotional. Sometimes we like to test each other with being grateful for things that are seemingly mundane. When we express our thanks for the hot water for our shower or the lights that turn on with the flick of a switch or even the garbage truck that picks up our trash weekly, we feel and know we are so abundantly blessed. We are very aware that millions of people around the world don’t have these simple things that we consider necessities.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we are grateful for all of you, our spiritual community. Thank you for your fellowship, your positive thoughts and your prayers. I would like to share and offer you this poem from one of Julie’s favorite artist/author/minister, Jan Richardson.

Happy Thanksgiving.

-Kurtis Zumwalt 

And the Table Will Be Wide



And the welcome will be wide.

And the arms will open wide to gather us in.

And our hearts will open wide to receive.

And we will come as children who trust there is enough.

And we will come unhindered and free.

And our aching will be met with bread.

And our sorrow will be met with wine.

And we will open our hands to the feast without shame.

And we will turn toward each other without fear.

And we will give up our appetite for despair.

And we will taste and know of delight.

And we will become bread for a hungering world.

And we will become drink for those who thirst.

And the blessed will become the blessing.

And everywhere will be the feast.

SITTING IN THE POWER MEDITATION

On hiatus Wednesday, 11/27



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, through December 18th, from 11:30 am-12:30 pm

"There is something in thanksgiving that carries us beyond the field of doubt into one of faith and acceptance. Gratitude is the power which attracts and magnifies the potential of life.” - Ernest Holmes The Science of Mind

"Heaven and earth listen and respond to the soul that is quickened into praise and thanksgiving." - Myrtle Fillmore, How to Let God Help You

"Gratitude is the awareness - the feeling - that all is well. That doesn't mean we have to be thankful for the crummy stuff going on. The scripture says, (1 Thessalonians 5:18): "In everything give thanks." IN everything - not FOR all things. We can sustain a grateful heart even when circumstances don't appear to warrant it. That's living in a state of grace, living in gratitude." - Scott Awbrey, Spiritual Passages

Life is For You

If you say that life is for you people might think you are deluded. It doesn't mean or imply that you won't have challenges, but ultimately the intelligence of Life is on your side and doing all it can to help you to 'wake up' and realize your True Self. Join us Sunday for another interesting service in which we look at how Life is in fact 'for us'.

FROM THE BOARD

This past weekend, we had a candidate for our minister position, Rev Sarah Anand Anma, come to our church to lead a workshop and the Sunday service. I want to thank you all for showing up for her and being so supportive of her.

I saw this weekend how clearly connected food, love and Unity are. On Friday night we had a meet and greet with Anand and her husband VJ, with the board, Joe and Lyn Sloan and Lezlie. Julia Hamilton made the most beautiful, wonderful food for us. Every bite was amazing. It created this beautiful space for us. We sat in a circle and had the most loving connection and talk. The food set the space for us. So, a huge thank you to Julia and Lisa Hamilton.

On Saturday we had the same experience after a board meeting when Sue Downing and Sandy Spurgeon made us lunch. We have such amazing, kind people here at Unity. I want to thank everybody who helped make this such a wonderful weekend.

CALLING ALL DREAMERS

for this timely, and slightly different, gathering!

I’m sensing a need for deep sharing about our current world concerns. 

So I’d like to tweak our regular dream class into a workshop in how we can power up our spiritual selves to release fear and anxiety. We’ll bring to conscious awareness what the higher beings are offering us at this time on Earth. 

Let’s see how we can release life-draining thoughts and actions and become what we signed up for as ambassadors of Love.

Thursday, November 21 from 11-12:30. Love offering after class.

REV. JERE IS OFFERING A BOOK RECOMMENDATION

It is a social psychology book by Jonathan Haight called "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion". Here is what an online blurb says about it. 

"Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Jonathan Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind."

FROM THE BOARD

Well the elections are finally over!!!! Half of the country woke up on Wednesday morning feeling good about the outcome and half did not. Regardless, change is a part of life whether it is the change you wanted or the change you did not. I am reminded of the lessons from “Way of Mastery”, that all is neutral. Also, by the lessons learned in the book we are studying, “What’s In the Way is the Way”.  This is a great time to lean on the spiritual guidance that we live and breathe in our lives at Unity in the Gold Country. Although the election didn’t go the way I wanted, I will still view my life and the world with great optimism and hope. Early that morning of election day my family received a very special gift. My nephew and his wife delivered a beautiful and healthy baby girl named Emma.  Emma marks the first baby of a new generation in our family and the first baby in 30 years.  It is hard to not have optimism and hope when you see pictures of a newborn baby in your family. That is what I chose to focus on.

A PRAYER FOR THESE TIMES



"When they hate, I will love. When they curse, I will bless. When they hurt, I will heal. I am a servant of the light. I am not afraid of darkness. I will carry on with my work as a steward of this Earth and of all her children. When they divide, I will unite. When they rage, I will calm. When they deny, I will affirm. I will be who I am, for that is what Spirit created me to be." - Steven Charleston

There are moments in life when we need the help of Spirit from all sacred directions. This is one of those moments. Come stand together. Face each direction in turn, calling on the forces of justice, peace, hope, compassion, and love to hasten to your call. Summon their shining energy and then release your own spirit into the world around you. The moment of change has begun. - Steven Charleston

FROM THE BOARD

Holiday Ecstasy

We all have stories about the high times in our spirit lives. I’d like to retell one of mine now. As I recall, it happened when I was in eighth grade on Christmas Day. We had just had a wonderful Christmas present opening with my parents and 4 brothers. I was the oldest and always loved the experience of Christmas Day. I don’t remember what the presents were that year, I just knew that we all had a very enjoyable morning.

I decided to go outside into the front yard of our suburban home. I remember looking up at the almost clear sky, raising my arms and just feeling happy. I was so filled with joy and love, I felt this must be what heaven is like. I stood there for several minutes, taking in as much of the good feeling as possible. It was more than just a feeling; it was almost an out-of-body experience. It was a time I hoped would never end. I don’t remember when it did end, as I seemed to carry the good feelings with me throughout the rest of the day.

But it did end by the next day as I got back to the normal give-and-take of family life. I continue to relive it and hope I can get back to that experience some day. Through Unity and the readings we are doing, especially the Way of Mastery, I know it is within reach and that I am moving towards that experience, one that I now see as becoming part of the dancing, flowing river of consciousness that we are all going to be a part of very soon.

WELCOME NOVEMBER!

Being the 11th month of the year puts November in a highly acclaimed position in numerology. Eleven is a sacred master number that vibrates with unity and an awareness of our Higher Self. Eleven reminds us that we are co-creators in our life, which makes November an ideal time for personal reflection, personal awareness and fulfillment. Metaphorically, November symbolism corresponds with wisdom and the start of being an elder in human terms. Winter is around the corner. Our bodies slow and move toward their closing chapter, awaiting renewal.

NOVEMBER ENERGY

HEALING CLINIC

November 3 is Unity’s Last Energy Healing Clinic for 2024

Note the change of weekend!

Unity in the Gold Country Spiritual Center is offering the final Energy Healing Clinic for 2024 on Sunday November 3, the first Sunday of the month. Healing sessions at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm run about 40 minutes. The suggested donation to Unity is $20, but no one with a reservation is turned away. You can sign up after church services or call the Clinic Coordinator, Kristie, at 530-368-4465 to reserve your session.

Modalities available include:

*Acupuncture with Mary Huse, *Adjust and Align PT with Pam Strong, *Functional Symmetry with Gabriel Clark, *Healing Touch with Julia Hamilton, *Hypnotherapy with Theresia Evans, *NonForce Chiropractic and EFT with Dr. Lorre Eaton, *Oracle Card Readings with Katharine Menegazzi and *Spiritual Readings with Ann Marie Jaggi.  

Energy healing sessions facilitate greater relaxation and the reduction of tension and anxiety. As the body and mind relax, pain often decreases as well; insights about the causes of distress may surface to be held with love and released. Participants report feeling lighter, brighter, freed from worries, more present, relaxed and peaceful. So, for a self-care treatment before the results of the election are upon us, reserve your Healing Clinic session today!

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

Our New Member Orientation and Welcome is scheduled! The Orientation will be held on Saturday morning, 10am on November 23rd, and our New Members will be welcomed during our service on Sunday, November 24th.

WEEK 3 OF OUR FALL PROGRAM!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Rev. Jere Farrell



Historically God has been projected out into the heavens. Connecting with God could be described as throwing a hopeful hook up into the sky to get it's attention. Separation is the theme of such a sad theology. Fortunately today we are far more aware that God is the center of our Being and indeed our very essence. Closer even than our breath and our very heartbeat. Join us Sunday when we once again celebrate in word and song our Oneness with the Divine.

Our musicians this Sunday are Gabriel and Angela!

FROM THE BOARD

Here we are enjoying beautiful Fall temperatures and living a rather good life. Meanwhile in other parts of the country life is hellacious for many people after successive hurricanes. At times like this I am tempted to feel that I shouldn't be enjoying my life so much in the face of such suffering. And at the international level, we have the Ukraine and Gaza going on. I don't want to pretend that these things aren't happening but I can't keep focusing on them either on a daily basis. My heart says that the thing to do is to appreciate our lives for how good they are. For the simple things like food and water, for a roof over our heads and the normal daily cut and thrust of our lives. At the same time let's keep our hearts open to the people whose lives have been disrupted and do what we can to help in whatever way we can.

WE WILL HAVE A "PUMPKIN PATCH" FOR THE KIDS!

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.

Skunks and a Compassionate Heart

Recently, I encountered a small skunk that deeply affected me. It was early morning, and I was at the barn to feed my horse when I noticed something black and white in my horses’ paddock. Besides feeding my horse, my morning job included picking up the thousands of acorns falling everywhere. As I entered the paddock, I noticed the black and white object was indeed a small skunk. I thought the poor animal must have died because it was so still. As I approached with my manure rake the skink lifted its head and looked right at me. So definitely not dead. I proceeded to clean up the ground all the while watching for any threatening movement. Seeing none I approached, and the skunk started shaking and then went into a full-blown seizure. My heart was sad because I was fairly sure the little one was in big trouble. I gently moved the skunk with my manure rake to a soft spot outside my horses reach and went inside to attempt to call for help. An animal control officer returned my call and when I shared what I was observing, she agreed to come out and "dispatch" it. I somehow had become attached to this little critter and felt completely helpless to help it. I managed to safely transfer it to a big box and carry it up to the shade by my driveway to await the animal control officer, praying frequently to the angels to help this little guy. To my surprise the animal control officer came, observed the skunk for quite a few minutes. Finally, she said to me that she changed her mind and was going to transport the skunk to the Auburn wild animal rescue. The officer's compassion helped me understand why this experience so affected me. This little skunk helped me see the goodness of humanity and compassion for all living things in a time when so much in the world seems so hard hearted. It gave me hope. One little skunk so touched our hearts.

With love,

Annie Somervell

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.

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

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
