The Year of Abundant Living  


      JULY: EMBRACE FORGIVENESS         

   Whenever you stand praying, forgive,  

if you have anything against anyone.  

      Mark: 11:25

Clear your heart of any anger or ill will toward others....

For each activity of love that replaces one of fear or anger,  

the world more fully realizes the peace of God.

Unity World Day of Prayer

Unity World Day of Prayer

Thursday, September 8, 2011

 

Unity created World Day of Prayer - the second Thursday in September - as a global effort to uplift our world in shared prayer consciousness. Since its inception 18 years ago, this sacred initiative has supported more than 15 million people with prayer.

 

You can be part of this sacred day - from wherever you are - in several ways:

·         Fill out and return your Prayer List (which will available soon at your church) with the names of those you would like us to bless during a 24-hour prayer vigil in the Silent Unity Chapel on September 8.   

·         Experience the dynamic and vibrant flow of open minds and hearts by joining with thousands of others in prayer on September 8. Join us in affirming throughout the day: We are channels through which Spirit illumines the world.   

·         Attend an event at Unity Village, watch a live-streamed event and/or find a participating Unity church or center near you.

  

 


Going Green & Growing Greener


Thanks to our Green Team  

we now offer environmental tips  

in our weekly announcements and newsletters.  

 

Green Tips Logo 

 

Green Tips to Reduce Body Heat:

Wear clothes in natural fabrics. Fabrics such as cotton, hemp, and linen 'breathe' better than synthetic fibers and naturally wick moisture away from the body.

 

Eat cool. Dine on salads and sandwiches instead of large, protein-rich meals when the weather is hot, as these can warm your body up. Oven- or stove-top cooking heats up your house as well.

 

Stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and caffeine in the heat, as these can promote dehydration. Drink more water than usual or consider an electrolyte replacement drink if you're sweating a lot.

 

Cool off with water. Soak your feet in a tub of cold water, put on a wet bandana, or take a cool shower. Keep a spray bottle of water in the refrigerator and spritz yourself regularly throughout the day.

 

 

 

Silent Unity Prayer Service

 

Wednesdays 11:30-Noon

 

 

Along with Unity churches and centers around the globe, we hold a 30-minute Silent Unity Prayer Service each week, using that month's script from Unity Village.   

   

Around the circle we participate in repetitions of  the Silence, affirmation, words for thought, the Silence - as in the following sampling of July's service.

       burning candles

I am calm and serene 

I allow a deep cleansing breath to bring my awareness to this moment.  As I become still, I remember that I am one with God.  I choose to release any anxious thoughts and let a calm peace wash over my soul.  I am serene as I let go and relax into God's goodness.  I am nourished by God's ever-present love in the silence .... 

 

Spirit inspires my decisions ... etcetera

The energy of God revitalizes me ... etcetera     

I live in an abundant universe ... etcetera  

My inner peace contributes to a peaceful world ... etcetera   

 

We'd love to have you join us for this mid-week spiritual refresher.
