A Dinner of Gratefulness Is Served!
by Leddy Hammock, November, 2011 – shared for Thanksgiving of 2020
All meals are best begun by saying “grace,” for graciousness will set a peaceful pace.
A grateful grace--the appetite for life--best said before we grasp the fork and knife, is
Shorter than most sermons, with more charm, as food--like life--is best enjoyed while warm.
Just bless your fare, whomever’s there, whether in memory or in the chair.
May we be truly grateful, as it’s said, from blessed little, multitudes are fed.
Share memories of good Thanksgivings past and feast on love; from unforgiveness, fast.
Stir sweetness in, let bitterness begone. Good flavor’s brought out when the heat is on!
Enjoy this life, whether through thick or thin, remembering that real love is "baked in."
But when the plates are cleared, let all be still. Just take a moment to give thanks and chill.
And then, my friends, before the evening’s spent, let everyone receive enlighten-mint. |

Leddy's Lesson: - I Am Fine
|
|
Lyrics to “All Shall Be Well” by Jan Garrett, Megon McDonough, & Karen Drucker
“All shall be well. All shall be well. All manner of things shall be well. I am walking through the green pastures and I know that I’m not alone. The song of the meadowlark sings through my soul, tenderly calling me home .... I am walking beside the still waters, as fresh as the breeze at dawn. The voice of my ancestors whispering, giving me the strength to carry on .... Surely goodness and mercy will follow, and love will be leading the way. Every shadow will shine in the fullness of time and bloom in the hearts of the brave. All shall be well. All shall be well. All manner of things shall be well.” |

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.

We still are getting frequent questions has been: "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.

“Expectancy is based upon complete trust in the universe. You know the sun will rise you know the tide will come back. And in that same consciousness you know that you will be healed. You know that you can succeed in your work . . . . You’re looking out into a sea of possibilities. Expect your good to come. As the sea is filled with fish, your mind is a sea of possibilities filled with great ideas. The ideas will unfold, success will come as the tide will come back. New things will be done in your life as the sun will come up. You believe. You have great expectations. So again, let these words just simmer in your consciousness. ‘I have great expectations of life because I am a channel for the expression of the greatness of God.’ Whisper this to yourself. In that consciousness, make a commitment to go forth from here this day, resolving to expand your consciousness, living each day in the awareness that the infinite possibilities of life are always present within you. Whatever you seek to do you can do if you can conceive the idea in mind and believe in its possibility and then make every step you take, go in that direction . . . . See what it is that you need or . . . you’re seeking to unfold and believe that it can be done. You can change. The difficulty can be dissolved. Divine order can be established. Let’s give thanks for this consciousness. Feel good about it.” Eric Butterworth, lecture ca. 1975 |
