This Sunday @ UCC: The Invention of Prayer - Leddy Hammock
|
|
Inspired by lyrics by Richard Maley:
True prayer is communion with the God of my understanding. I can hear God’s voice in my silence.
True prayer is not bargaining with God, but acceptance – without question, of God’s empowering will.
Prayer means doing the work that God gives me to do, and then letting go and letting God. I can feel God’s hands when I’m still.
Prayer is choosing to agree with God’s promise, which is always good and only good.
This life I chose is the gift of God’s pure love. |

| We Could Really Use a Hand this Saturday at Vesak!
|
| We're excited to host Vesak each year, but it's a pretty big job.
We'd be grateful if you'd consider giving a hand resetting the Sanctuary stage after the service and/or helping clean up after the dinner in the café.
You'll feel blessed to take part in this wonderful celebration!

|
| ![](https://multimedia.getresponse.com/getresponse-20724905/photos/445040805.jpg?img1464789806427) | The well-known and well-liked Dennis Carney is a fixture in the Unity Café team, setting up to serve the Sunday morning coffee klatch that gathers for food and fellowship before or after the weekly service. His popularity, however, transcends his kitchen mission. Dennis is one of those people, perhaps rarer than not, who shows a sincere interest in other people. Tolerance and humor are his natural virtues.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Dennis stayed in the Buckeye State until, he says, someone told him he was allowed to leave. That facetious permission came in the form of a job opportunity in Florida. He had worked for an electronics firm for 30 years and looked forward to working and retiring in the Sunshine State, but the Oldsmar firm that hired him also released him after five months, a recession layoff. Not living here long enough to establish a network, Dennis says that in 2001 he got into a real funk, but, beating depression, he was hired as a furniture salesman at Rooms to Go outlet and, would, eventually, retire. He is now a part time security guard and realtor.

| | | “In the field of prosperity, love as impersonal good will is all-powerful, too. It has been estimated that only fifteen percent of a person’s financial success is due to his technical ability, while eighty-five percent is due to his ability to get along with people. Personnel managers agree that more than two-thirds of the people who lose their jobs do so not because of incompetence, but because they cannot get along with others. Approximately ten percent are discharged because of inadequate preparation for the skills needed, whereas the other ninety percent are fired because of ‘personality problems.’”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
