Tithing Your Time & Talents 


circle of hands

A not-so-new discovery is that giving of one's time and talents -
i.e. being of service - is actually
good for us.

 

We benefit physically, mentally and emotionally  

when we give of ourselves -  

even when we feel worried, stressed or depressed.

Our Labyrinth

triune 7 labyrinth

Our labyrinth is in its next stages of creation: grants are being applied for and earth is being moved. Volunteers will be needed when the grant money comes in.  

 

"The very process of making a labyrinth will provide you  

with much insight & learning.  

Use the act of creating a labyrinth as a metaphor  

for how you are creating your life.  

What do you want your life to be like?  Where is your center?   

What is your compass?  What are you putting in the space?   

What are you putting on your path?"

A Day with Rev. Jim Rosemergy 

Sunday,October 9th 

Morning Service 11-Noon

Light snack lunch 

Afternoon Workshop on The Gathering

1-3p.m. (Love offering) 

Rev. Jim Rosemergy    

 Jim Rosemergy

Many of you know Rev. Jim through his books,  his website www.innerjourney.org, and/or his talks and workshops in Unity churches.

 

We are honored and delighted to welcome him back to Unity of Beaumont (now Unity of Southeast Texas) next month.  

 

The workshop will be based on Rev. Jim's latest book, The Gathering (available in our bookstore) which we have been studying in our Sunday morning Book Study:

 

"Prayer is a challenge for many of us.  What should we ask of God?  Is anyone listening?  Why aren't our prayers being answered?  The hard truth is this:  God doesn't fulfill needs.  For thousands of years, humanity has brought needs to God with little success, often resulting in disillusionment.  Now is the time to try something new:  A nine-step prayer practice called The Gathering."

 

The first three steps are: 

 

Step 1:   I release my human need.

Step 2:  I accept my human condition so I can express my spiritual nature.

Step 3:   I willingly release any part of my human self that is a barrier to God.

 

Intrigued?  Join us for our Day with Rev. Jim, October 9.

ESSENTIAL OILS continued ...

  

1.   Clothing

Use essential oils instead of fabric softener.

The use of essential oils for laundering clothing is growing in popularity as an alternative to traditional fabric softener. Select an essential oil, such as lavender or cedar. Pour 1/4 cup of unscented fabric softener into a glass measuring cup. Add 5 drops of the selected essential oil and pour into the rinse cycle when doing laundry.

Another option is to wet a washcloth. Add 8 drops of the essential oil scattered onto the washcloth. For example, put one drop on each corner of the washcloth and the other four drops near the center. Put the washcloth in with your clothing in the dryer.

2.   Air Freshener

Mandarin essential oil is very effective as an air freshener.

Toss out cans and bottles of air freshener and use essential oils instead. Fill 3/4 of the way of a clean spray bottle with plain tap water. Select an essential oil, such as mandarin or ylang ylang. Add 6 drops of the selected oil to the spray bottle. Shake several times to mix the oil prior to each use. Spray the air as an air freshener.

3.   Household Odors

Boil water with clove oil.

Fill a 1-quart glass cooking pan with water. Bring to a boil. Add 5 drops of clove essential oil to the water when it comes to a boil. Allow the water to simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat source. Your kitchen and home will smell fresh from the steam of the water combined with the clove essential oil.
