This Sunday @ UCC:
Auld Lang Syne - Sue Riley
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to Memory Makers, by Sue Riley.
“After the dazzle of Christmas, the holiday frazzle is past. Peace descends in the silent night, at last.”
We give thanks for the memory makers: the wise ones who shared with us the unforgettable moments that we treasure still.
We give thanks for the memory makers: the dear ones of Christmases past who kept alive their faith in the shining potential within us and who never lost faith in us.
We give thanks for the memory makers: the precious ones who loved us through the passage of time and kept alive for us the promises of a bright new year and sweet Christmases yet to be.
Thank You, God, and may we all be Memory Makers. |

All are welcome to our popular, annual “Treasure Mapping” class.
This annual gathering is a great opportunity to begin the new year by visualizing the things you want to manifest in your life.
A treasure map pictures what we want. It has been called “pictured prayer.” Just as a road map indicates the way to a planned destination, a treasure map helps us get what we desire – healing, supply, a job, possessions, happiness. Physically, it is a piece of paper on which we have placed pictures of what we want with statements of faith. …
We think, and we form our world after the pattern of our thinking. A map helps us think right so that we can and do create what we want to experience. It keeps us close to God. It reminds us every time we look at it that we are one with God. … This is the wonderful part of treasure mapping.
What Should you Bring?
We’ll supply everything you need to create your treasure map, but we’ll gratefully receive any magazines you might wish to donate. Magazines and catalogs with lots of pictures are preferable
In preparation for the treasure mapping we would be grateful for any used magazines you can share with us. They can be dropped off during the week or on Sundays. |

| | | | December Heart of the House - Ginny & John McKinley
|
|  |
They were childhood sweethearts, born and raised in Winchester, MA, attending the same elementary and junior high schools. Their roads diverged in high school when John McKinley attended an agricultural vocational school in Danvers, then did a three-year stint in the Army while Ginny Larson trained as an R.N. at Massachusetts Memorial Hospital in Boston preparing for a career that would span the next 48 years. She also took writing courses at the University of New Hampshire and sold some short stories to help finance her nurse’s training. (She has since completed a novel with an unusual plot, as yet not submitted for publication.)
After their marriage, John earned his degree in education at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, planning to become a teacher, but because of low demand then for teachers, he began managing a “gentleman’s farm” owned by a Harvard vice-president. The farm specialized in raising prime breeding dairy cows. During these years, two sons were born. Both, as adults, enjoy fulfilling careers. One is a chef; one breeds hunting/bird dogs. Beloved daughters-in-law and three grandsons have enhanced the McKinley family.

| | | MAINTAINING A RICH CONSCIOUSNESS
“Sometimes persons of moderate means feel that it would be a hardship to begin tityhing, and dismiss it as a practice for the rich. However, the consistent practice of tithing is a means of establishing anyone in a consciousness of consistent giving, which opens the way to consistent receiving. One businessman says that he had to tithe, to get out of debt and stay out of debt! A businesswoman was asked, ‘What do you think of tithing?’ She replied, ‘Why, if I didn’t tithe I’d be picked as clean as a bird. I’ve got to tithe to keep going.’ It has often been said, ‘You’ll never find a tither in the poorhouse.’”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
TITHING KEEPS ME IN THE FLOWING OF GIVING AND RECEIVING.
THANK YOU, GOD!
