“God’s Garden”
by Dorothy Frances Gurney - 1913
“The Lord God planted a garden
In the first white days of the world,
And He set there an angel warden
In a garment of light enfurled.
So near to the peace of Heaven,
That the hawk might nest with the wren,
For there in the cool of the even
God walked with the first of men.
And I dream that these garden-closes
With their shade & their sun-flecked sod
And their lilies and bowers of roses,
Were laid by the hand of God.
The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,–
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth . . . .” |
|
| “Tribute to ‘God’s Garden’ by D.F. Gurney,” by LH, October, 2020
Divine Mind has planted a garden –
The essence of heaven on earth –
Where the true thought of the I AM
Is the light of our life’s true worth.
The realm of divine ideas
Is the heaven of harmony
Where we dwell in peace perceived as
God walking with you and me.
Our thoughts and words are seeds,
That, as lovingly held in mind,
Increase as resilient deeds
And reproduce after their kind.
We are learning to live in our heartland,
Where green leaves & fresh air inspire
Ideals of an infinite Lifespan
That blooms as our heart’s desire.”

This Sunday's Lesson: - Lose the Cocoon
|
|
From lyrics to “Get Ready, My Soul” by Daniel Nahmod:
“Everything I’ve ever done, everything I’ve ever seen, everything I’ve lost or won, everything I’ve ever dreamed, has brought me here to the present moment, here, to a new beginning, here and I’m seeing life so clearly now.”
“‘Cause here I go, deeper, deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before. Here I go, closer, closer, closer to my sacred Source.
Here I go, deeper, deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before. Here I go, close, closer, closer to my sacred Source.”
“Get ready, my soul. I’m divin’ in. Get ready, my soul. I’m divin’ in to the deepest kind of love, to the sweetest kind of life, Get ready, get ready, my soul. |

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.

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 banks 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.

"No tragedy or failure that has once harmed you can take a toll of life for you today unless you imbue it with thinking negatively about it through regrets, fear, bitterness, etc. We have the choice of holding past experiences in our consciousness, or, like the butterfly giving up its cocoon, we can awake to the fact that we’ve been holding onto an empty shell . . . . But you must know that all the blessings of that [past experience or] relationship were right in their time—but through change you have come to a point where 'all things come to pass,' and something new and wonderful is unfolding for you. You must let go of your cocoon and accept the greater blessings that are prepared for you" -- Eric Butterworth, Lecture, May, 1975. |
