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.

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 WELCOME!

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.

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

The next update is our new job posting has been posted on the Unity Worldwide Ministry website. So, we are ready to accept applications for our new minister. I want to acknowledge Katherine Beatty and Ann Somervell for spending many hours making the post and making sure all was correct. Also, a big thanks to Ken and Mary Cooper for proof reading our posting.

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.

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

Healing Demonstration: The Healing Power of Energy Medicine

Join Michael Mayo for a demonstration of the healing power of energy medicine! Michael is known for getting immediate results in pain reduction, mobility, and function within a single session. He will be working live with volunteers from the audience on various physical ailments. While he is not able to help every single person or ailment, most people can feel an improvement or pain reduction in their condition immediately. Michael will also end the demonstration with a group healing session so that everyone may receive potential healing.

These events are exclusive to our foothills, and we offer this as a package at just $190. Whether you attend a single event or all three days, we hope you don't miss out on these opportunities! Contact Unity in the Gold Country for advance purchase tickets.

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.

CHANT!

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.

"Conscious of the breath of God within us and around us, we can with confidence set out on the road to God knowing that it may be rocky, but that it is at the same time well lit, brightly marked, and wholly traversable because Spirit makes the path with us. We have not been left alone. Under the impulse of the Spirit, we are guided and safe."

- Joan Chittister, In Search of Belief

"I am a hole in a flute that God's breath moves through. Listen to this music." - Hafiz

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.

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.

And please remember . . .

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

HIATUS THROUGH JULY AND AUGUST.

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

As your Board of Trustees, we wanted you to know that we submitted a contract to Rev Sharon Renae on Tuesday Aug 13^th.  She declined our offer, so we are taking a breather to regroup and refresh. 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.

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.

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.

HIATUS THROUGH JULY AND AUGUST.

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.

And please remember . . .

What Prayer Is Your Life Praying?



Our special music this Sunday is one of my favorite StoweGood songs- My Life Is A Prayer. Our lives are prayers that God is praying. Wow...that is deep! And it asks the question "what prayer am I praying according to my thoughts, words and actions?" Something to reflect on together this Sunday in the light of all that is going on in our world.

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

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 16^th.

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?

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”.

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.

FROM THE BOARD

Angels

   On Wednesday, May 29^th, 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

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.

- Maya Angelou

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” - Mother Theresa

“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within” – James Baldwin

Join us Sunday for what will be one of the most personal talks that I have ever given at UGC.

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?”

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.
