JONAS MAGRAM TO PERFORM AND SPEAK
 Please join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. and enjoy the music and wisdom of Jonas Magram. Jonas sings in the tradition of Cat Stevens, Richie Havens and Tim Buckley, and he has a voice every bit as rich and extraordinary as his songs. Then enjoy Jonas' talent as a spiritual teacher, one steeped in the tradition of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie and the ancient Vedic scriptures. When he speaks, your heart will open up, and you will know that you are in the presence of a true spiritual light.
CIRCULATION DAY POSTPONED
Please note that Circulation Day, originally scheduled for Saturday, August 4, has been postponed, and no future date has been set. The Outreach Ministry will be having a meeting this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in the Strong Room to discuss Circulation Day. BOOKSTORE OPEN HOUSE, AUGUST 5
Sacred Grounds and Books will be having an Open House at UnityCR this Sunday, August 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. Delightful company and delicious hors d'oeuvres will round out an evening of quiet entertainment. For more information, contact Mary Beth McGuire at 319-378-0601. DOUG WICK BENEFIT-VENUE CHANGE, AUGUST 9  There will be a benefit for UnityCR member Doug Wick at the Kirkwood Community College, Johnson Hall, on Thursday, August 9. (Note that it will no longer be held at Linn Mar High School.) Doug was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February 2012, and his family has incurred a huge financial burden. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and a live auction begins at 7:00 p.m., with a basketball game to follow. Free-will offerings are gratefully accepted. If you would like to donate an item for the live auction (popcorn, DVDs, restaurant coupons, themed baskets, etc.) or if you want more information, call Gayle Richardson at (319) 573-8258, or go to "Warriors for Doug Benefit" on Facebook.
MARTHA CREEK WORKSHOPS, AUGUST 11-12 Our beloved Martha Creek will be having two workshops at UnityCR next weekend, August 11-12. On Saturday, August 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the workshop "Healthy Self = Healthy Congregation" will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The content is about doing our own spiritual work, bringing a healthy self to our spiritual community--thus helping to create a healthy, thriving ministry. A luncheon will be served. Then on Sunday, August 12, Martha will give a workshop titled "Loving What Is," which runs from noon until 3 p.m. This workshop is based on Byron Katie's personal transformation process called "The Work." There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer (although pre-registration is not required), and love offerings are accepted. For more information, contact Kip Lilly at 319-393-5422. FUN CLUB, AUGUST 19  Fun Club, an activity-based adult social group for members and friends of Unity, will attend the musical "Brigadoon" at Starlighter's Theatre in Anamosa on Sunday, August 19, at 2 p.m. This production features Unity members Nancy Dearborn and Jim Greene as well as Unity guests Stephanie (Shaffer) Martinez, Julio Martinez and Terry and Harrison Shaffer. Tickets should be purchased individually by calling the box office (319-462-4793) M-F from 5-9 and Saturday from 9-noon. Identify yourself as part of the Unity group so we can sit together. Carpooling can be arranged. Attendees may choose to go to dinner at nearby restaurants in Anamosa or Stone City after the show.
