“52 Weeks of Possibilities”

Every Sunday, a congregant makes a 10-minute presentation to our children. This week, Kathleen Calby will offer a singing bowl meditation to the kids AND to the rest of us during the service!  We need YOU to show and tell, too! Recruit a family member/friend to co-present, if you wish.  Sign up in Friendship Hall or see Connie Lambert.

 

Speaking of Kathleen Calby’s “Singing Bowls”…

Join Kathleen in the sanctuary immediately following this Sunday’s 10AM service for a rare treat: a Singing Bowls meditation!  The tones of the bowls are quite melodic…simply beautiful!  Some of the bowls themselves are very old…and very valuable!   Do your spirit a favor; fill it with the peace and tranquility of the singing bowls!

 

 

 

 

 

What’s Happening?

 

Serenity CAN be yours…Unity hosts a Day of Retreatevery Wednesday 

Come anytime, stay/go according to your schedule.  No sign up needed.  Love offering.

 

Every Wednesday, a smorgasbord of centering, relaxing, communing with nature and meditative activities take place here at Unity, led by congregant Pilar Farnsworth. The activities run from 10AM-4PM—and beyond—since some participants return for our Wednesday (6:30PM) meditation service to cap off their day.  10AM till noon-meet at Unity’s gazebo to enjoy Qi Gong, gardening, journaling and nature.  Noon till 1PM–lunch break. Bring a lunch and eat in the church kitchen, or go to an area restaurant. 1PM-4PM – meet in the McClellan Room: study/practice healing with sound, meditation, Reiki and other modalities.

 

 

A Grief Support Group is forming at Unity!

We all experience losses in life, whether it’s the death of a loved one, a job loss, a broken relationship, etc.  Often, it helps to spend time with others who are on similar journeys towards healing.  If you’d appreciate spending time with companions who understand—and share—your feelings, please join us. First meeting:  NEXT Monday, July 26 at 7PM.
