| The Man among the Trees - Adapted by Leddy Hammock, 2020 |
|
|
“There are trees I never walk under, but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me” – Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself” in Leaves of Grass, 1855.
Painting by our own beloved member, famed artist, June Harben |
|
(Originally adapted by LH in tribute to Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees” and dedicated to longtime UCC member, beloved arborist, UCC member, Loren Westenberger, just after Arbor Day, 2010).
Adapted by LH in tribute to Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees”
I think that we may never see a man closer to God than he.
Knowing we reap as we may sow,
he plants young trees and helps them grow.
Among the trees, he spends his days,
and serves the earth in gentle ways.
He reads his scripture in the leaves
and mystic patterns sunlight weaves.
He worships with the wind’s refrain
and intimately lives with rain.
In every heart, the good he sees,
and walks with God among the trees.

This Sunday: - When My Moment Come - Sue Riley
|
|
Inspired by “When My Moment Comes” - music by Sue Riley/words by Leddy Hammock:
“I stand alone, I close my eyes and wait, against the wind, steady and strong.
I am unmoved, for I am not afraid. I stand and wait, for I know how to wait, I’m holding on.
Beneath this veil of who I seem to be, Truth is the staff I lean upon. I come to claim what has been promised me and give my heart that was a broken heart a brand new dawn.
For when my moment comes, when my moment comes, like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes.
Like a seal upon my heart, my sacred destiny, a brand new start!
For when my moment comes, when my moment comes, like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes.” |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

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.

Monday Movie Discussion Group
|

|
Mondays
2:00 PM
Zoom
Next week's movie will be "The Gold Rush" (1925) with Charles Chaplin (as The Tramp), Georgia Hale, Mack Swain & Tom Murray
"Charles Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" is arguably his finest film. He stars as a wimpy prospector who decides to go to the Klondike in the hopes of striking it rich. What he does not realize is that he may find love (in the form of Georgia Hale) instead of money."

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.

“I will listen for Thy words to me, as the flower roots listen for the spring rain. Thy voice is as the music of a starlit night to my hearing. It is the song of the warm south wind in the fragrant pines . . . I will send my mind to Thee, running to meet thee, to learn what I may do in obedience to Thy thought for me.... Thy understanding reaches my understanding. Long have we spoken, the one to the other. From that bright morn in which time was given birth, to this present moment, my words have flown to Thee, Thy words to me...” (Imelda Shanklin, “Communion”). |
