Volunteer for the
Month of May
David Briggs
We are grateful for David Briggs who joyfully and enthusiastically lends a helping hand wherever he sees an opportunity to serve. He volunteers at the Ambassador Desk and warmly greets visitors who enter our spiritual community. He also assists at special events. David is an usher who readily assists members and newcomers, making them feel comfortable and welcome. His gregarious laugh invites everyone into a world of love and fun!
David has also served as the Regional Registrar for the West Central Region: from 1998 - 2010 and has served on many the Board of Trustees for several different ministers. His questions are: "How can I be of service?" "How can I serve?"
We love you, David.
Thank you for all you do!

 Love Holds the World Together
If we open ourselves to love, we see that it has to be the strongest attracting power in creation. It binds us all together in one great union - all part of the One God. God is love. This love pulls each of us toward our True Christ Selves, making us more and more aware of our Divinity. In the long run, love is stronger than hatred and war - the personal battles as well as international ones.
A mother's love can feel like that - so powerful, so endearing and binding. A mother's love can feel like God's kisses, hugs and the gentle hands that tuck us in at night, in our warm, safe beds, in our beautiful homes.
Not everyone experienced a mother's love that felt so Divine and purposeful. Nor did everyone experience a warm, safe bed, in a beautiful home. However, it's never too late to experience the love of God.
God's love expresses itself through us, through various natural laws that hold the planets in their orbits, and us in our forms as human beings - including mothers. Love is everywhere. God is everywhere.
If we didn't have the good fortune to hang on to our mothers long enough in the physical realm, we can still know that God never disappoints us. God will never leave us. God's love endures. We are loved, unconditionally, eternally.
We are all part of God. The God in you is the same God in every other person, no matter how it may seem.
When we let the warmth of our love flow from us in a complete circle, we touch everyone with it. And the entire world becomes a better place. We begin to meet all people Christ-to-Christ, and our love automatically falls across their paths.
Let us hold our world together by expressing God's motherly love everywhere we are, in this one family of love.
God bless you,
Rev. Mary

Greetings From Your Prayer Chaplains
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
This is the wonderful month we experience so many special celebrations:
- beginning with the joyful holiday shared with our Mexican friends, who decorate their ancestors' graves and hold parties for Cinco de Mayo;
- reverently wrapping others in prayer on National Day of Prayer;
- stretching our hearts to enfold mothers and those who have been like a mother to us on Mothers' Day; and
- solemnly honoring soldiers in every military branch who have given their lives in service to God and country for Memorial Day.
It's all about "getting together" and sharing stories and prayers. It may include elaborate planning and fancy menus, with hustle and bustle until we are all exhausted and simply want to relax.
That's when we go to the picture on Unity's calendar this month.... It depicts a large expanse of lawn at Unity Village. Behind the trees in the background, we can see the white buildings with their bright red tile roofs. And in the foreground stand two spotted fawn, their heads turned, checking out the one with the camera. They are alert, but not frightened - calm and curious. And under their picture is this:
"I could have traveled many paths that are interesting and perhaps more elaborate, but the simplicity of the path I chose still affects me: God is good." - Mary L. Kupferle
And later, a quote from the Psalmist, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." -Psalm 37:4
Yes, it is time to Discover -- Simple Pleasures and know the Goodness of God !
Lovingly,
Your Prayer Chaplains
Cathie Kilgard, Shirley Brown, Bobbie Spivey,
Donna Vopacke, Angela Paccini, Thomas Fisher
