This Sunday @ UCC:
Higher Things - Leddy Hammock
|
|
(inspired by lyrics by Michael Gott and also by Sue Riley and Richard Mekdeci):
I’ve got to rise a little higher in faith, wisdom, and love.
I let my soul be set free as I rise a little higher, so now I can see.
Like a river flowing ever to a greater sea, I can rise a little higher and let the change carry me.
I let my thoughts be lifted to dwell on higher things. I am lifted by grace to a higher place.
I stopped resisting, opened my arms, and surrendered. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace. |

| | | | | Your Children Will Feel SO Welcome in our Youth Ministry!
|
|  |
Although we are honored that our young Truth students like to come to Sunday service with you, here are a few love-notes we hope you'll take to heart and know that they would be SO welcome in our Youth Ministry! -- Pretty please?
1. If, instead of bringing your own children to experience our Youth Ministry, you let them come into the Sanctuary with you, then other children won't find classmates there in our YM and new students won't feel as interested in staying to learn and socialize unless they are greeted by friends. We have hired wonderful professional nursery attendants to assist every Sunday, and they'd love to meet your little ones! Within the first five minutes, usually even first-time guests are delighted they came to Unity YM nursery or pre-K!
2. The class time lessons shared by our loving volunteer teachers are especially prepared for our elementary and teen age groups, so these learning experiences tend to be much more fun and meaningful to our young Truth students than the adult service format. We promise the school age students won't be bored! And these Unity lessons are empowering in every aspect of their lives!
3. Youngsters are adorable, but we don't expect them to sit still as statues. Yet, many adults in our spiritual family are going through "interesting times," so they really like to focus on the worship service, which includes quiet times and thoughtful messages. Remember that this worship time is for parents, too, and you'll probably enjoy this worship time in our Sanctuary as much as your little ones will enjoy their time in our Youth Wing! Let's help one another in our quest and help our YM -- and our Church -- grow at the same time!
Volunteer classroom aides are welcome, so if your little one doesn't want to leave your side, please stay with them in the YM class until they feel at home. Then just ask for a complimentary CD or DVD of our worship service at the Bookstore -- your choice!
A growing Youth Ministry is a strong sign of a thriving Church!
Come, grow with us! |

| | | CROSSING OUT NEGATIVE ATTITUDES
“Through release and forgiveness, you break up, cross out, dissolve, and are freed forever from the negative attitudes and memories that have limited you to less than the highest and best in your lie experience.
The freeing, forgiving attitude likewise ‘raises’ your good and brings it to life. Invoke the healing power of love through freeing and forgiving the negative experiences of your past and present, and you will find yourself well on the way to resurrected good during this Lenten season.”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
MY FREEING, FORGIVING ATTITUDE RAISES UP MY GOOD AND BRINGS IT TO LIFE.
THANK YOU, GOD!
