SEPTEMBER

This hour-long meditation will begin as a standard drum circle and you are invited to bring your own drum, shaker, or noisemaker. This part of the meditation is designed to stir up your energy through your participation. After approximately 15 minutes the drums will fade out and the sounds of gongs, bells and cymbals will fill the air. The gentle tones of ancient China and modern Italy will seek to open and balance chakras. Facilitated by Steve Croteau; $10 suggestedlove offering.

If you have been thinking about becoming a member of UCNI and/or would like to learn more about Unity, plan to attend the two Unity Overview classes Saturday Sept. 6 and 13 from 9 AM to noon. Both classes are required for membership. If interested, please sign up in the church office.

Church Potluck Picnic

September 7

You won’t want to miss this special celebration Sunday, September 7th following the 2nd Service. We will celebrate our youth as they step up into their new classes here at Unity. Some will make the leap from Tots to Teens others up to Y.O.U.! This is also an opportunity for all to get reacquainted and share stories of our summer adventures.

At 12:00 noon there will be a special group meditation with the reading out loud of names on prayer request lists. At 5: 00 PM, there will be a closing meditation. Be sure to fill out and submit your prayer requests on the form available in our weekly bulletins

“Young Amelia” takes you on a subtle journey to explore the hidden recesses of the human heart. A true Renaissance musician, Hans is skilled in many genres, and has a breathtaking three-octave range that pulls you right in. The concert will be preceded by one of our world-famous Unity potlucks, so bring some food to share and enjoy the music. $10 suggested love offering for the concert.

As part of 11 Days of Global UNITY, we will hold a special service on Wednesday, September 17. Beginning at 6:30 PM. we will walk the UCNI labyrinth for peace, led by Eloiwa. After our sacred walk, we will gather in the sanctuary for readings of prayers of the world religions, followed by a special healing service led by Rev. Deidre, Eloiwa, and our Prayer Chaplains. A love offering will be received. This contemplative service will connect us with all people around the planet and deepen the consciousness of our Oneness with all life.

This all-church event will replace both the Seniors general meeting and the Bookworms Anonymous meeting for September. The book, video, and subsequent discussion just seemed too good to keep to ourselves. You all come!

but it is a time to get involved yourself.

OCTOBER

This year we will explore and study Deepak Chopra’s new book “The Third Jesus”. This online Web series will be broadcasted at the church on Wednesday nights from October 1 thru November 5 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. The series will feature Unity minister Wendy Craig-Purcell of San Diego interviewing Chopra on key themes related to who Jesus really was and what he really taught. Who is Jesus Christ? Chopra provides an answer to this questions that is both a challenge to current systems of belief and a fresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardless of our religious background. “There is not one Jesus”, Chopra writes, “but three.” Come and discover with your Unity family the universal teachings Jesus taught. We will watch the interview as one group, then form small groups and discuss what was covered in the interview. Mark your calendars! Love offering received.

Unity Center offers a weekly opportunity for anyone who is currently experiencing a divorce or has experienced a divorce in the past to meet with others who understand and will support you in healing and self-care.
Here are some of the reasons group members give for attending the DRG:
(1) I know I am not the only one going through this,
(2) help with children issues,
(3) focus on forgiveness,
(4) I know it is a safe place to talk about my feelings.
The group offers friendship and in-sight from experience on how to cope with suffering, support your children during and after divorce, restructure your life to support you in a positive way, change your thoughts to bring you peace, and find humor and hope in life.
