A Notable Birthday

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.

On this day Unity of Southeast Texas is hosting a Prayer Vigil from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., followed by a service from 6 to 6:30 p.m.  You are invited to drop by and join us in holding Sacred Space for this uplifting of consciousness.  There will be candles, meditative music, inspirational reading material, and writing paraphernalia.

·         Filling out and returning your Prayer List (inserted in your Sunday bulletin or downloadable from Unity World Day of Prayer ) 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.   

·         Watching a live-streamed event (as above).

Essential Oils

Extracted from plants, some essential oils can kill bacteria and mold. They're very strong, so don't go overboard: One drop of peppermint oil is as potent as 30 cups of peppermint tea.

Use Them to Clean Your...

Combs and brushes: Fill a container with 1½ cups water, ½ cup distilled white vinegar, and 20 drops tea-tree, lavender, or eucalyptus oil. Soak combs and brushes for 20 minutes. Rinse and air-dry.
 
Scuffed floors: Apply two to four drops of tea-tree oil to the spots. Wipe excess oil with a cloth and rub in distilled white vinegar.
 
Gum-encrusted items: Orange oil is great at removing this sticky offender from various materials. (Don't worry: It shouldn't stain fabrics. But do launder immediately.) Apply with a cotton ball.
 
Shower doors: Wipe scum-covered glass doors with a few drops of lemon oil twice a month. It will protect them from grime buildup.

Toilets: Add 2 teaspoons tea-tree oil and 2 cups water to a spray bottle. Shake, then spritz along the toilet's inside rim. Let sit for 30 minutes; scrub.

Windows: Mix 2 ounces water and 10 drops lavender or lemongrass oil to wipe grime off windows. Bonus: These oils may repel flies.
