News and Common Sense by LH in the New Year of 2021
You know what they say about insanity.
You know how it’s defined.
It’s doing all the same old things repeatedly
Without changing your mind,
Expecting different things, while doing what you do
but never changing you.
The universe just isn’t wired to work that way.
That leash will stretch so far
Then snap you back to sanity one dawning day
When you know who you are.
You hear yourself say, “I can’t do this anymore.”
That voice, you can’t ignore.
That voice is Grace – the clarion call of Common Sense
From deep within your soul
That sings of Truth and also rings of recompense—
Sound words: “I will! Be whole!” --
Clear as a bell no error thought unrings:
New thoughts and then new things. |

Leddy's Lesson: - How We Doin' Dr King
|
|
|
We take to heart these mighty words of The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., spoken in 1963, in our pledge for justice and compassion in every facet of our human interaction and in our spiritual expression:
“As we walk, we must make the pledge
that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”
“With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . . . .”
“With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together . . . .”
“With this faith we will be able . . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. . . . Let freedom ring!” |

Thursdays
12:00 PM
Bring your lunch and let's get together and chat!
Board Member & President of Hospitality, Deb Larkin is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us. Each week, Deb will have a new topic and you will have the opportunity to learn something new about each other and to share your thoughts. You can choose to participate or just listen in, whatever is comfortable for you. It will be a fun time for all as we enjoy our Unity community and navigate a new normal of virtual social distancing and spiritual closeness.

Folks are still asking: "What's the best way to send an offering to the Church?"
We're checking mail every day, so checks sent through the mail are fine, as are checks sent from your bank's online bill pay.
If you feel led you might consider setting up an automatic recurring donation. This can be done through your bank's bill pay or on the Church's donation form.
We've also been asked about the processing fees the church has to pay when the online form is used. The fees are a small percentage (3&-4%) of the total donation, however there is an option to cover fees that you may select if you feel so inclined. Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

Healing thought for Jan. 12: “The light of the Christ means to [hu]man[kind] what the light of the sun means to the earth. The seed of [hu]man[ity]'s eternal sonship is within [us], and it will grow into a beautiful expression as the light of the Christ nature stirs . . . . The light of [our] spiritual nature can turn darkness into light, it can change a barren life into a productive life. Through prayer this is constantly happening in the lives of individuals. We are living on a planet whose nature is light. Light is within us, and all about us. We are truly children of light” (May Rowland in Unity Pamphlet, “The Seekers of the Light Are One”]. |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“THE SPIRITUAL NATURE WITHIN ME IS A MIGHTY, HEALING FORCE THAT NOW TURNS DARKNESS TO LIGHT.” “DARKNESS CANNOT DRIVE AWAY DARKNESS; ONLY LIGHT CAN DO THAT” – THE REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
THANK YOU, GOD!
