Journey Theme
In order to "be the flow," we must realize who we are.  We must get on purpose with our lives.  We must recognize that we are heirs to the Kingdom.  

Join us this Sunday when we will align with purpose.

This month's film is Wild.   In June 1995, despite a complete lack of hiking experience, a recently divorced Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) leaves Minneapolis, Minnesota to hike 1,100 miles of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail[6] on a journey of self-discovery and healing. During the hike, Strayed reflects in flashbacks on her childhood in Minnesota and memories of her mother, Bobbi Grey (Laura Dern), whose death had pushed her toward self-destructive behaviour that led to her divorce. This is based on a true story.

Special Event - A Chorus in Miracles Screening
AChiM Poster
A musical journey in celebration of the 50-year anniversary of A Course in Miracles, Twyman's feature documentary film has been insightfully created as an homage to the most life-changing spiritual text of the 20th century. Because of the profound nature of the work scribed by Helen Schucman beginning in 1965, A Chorus in Miracles is a must-see film for long-time A Course in Miracles students, those newly embarking on their own transformational journey and any person with an interest in spirituality and how it changes our lives.

Prosperity
Prosperity's Ten Commandments
October: Ninth Commandment 
 
Ninth Commandment
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against the source of thy wealth." Georgiana Tree West
 
The ninth of the original commandments says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." This commandment has to do with the essential nature of truthfulness. The word witness comes from an old English word, witan, meaning understanding or intelligence. To "bear false witness" is to be untruthful in your understanding or in your intelligence. To give false impressions by exaggeration, insinuation, detraction or even listening to gossip is bearing false witness because it means being receptive to false understandings of things and possibly perpetuating them.
 
Every appearance of lack is a "false" fact and when we accept lack of any good we are bearing false witness against God. We are denying His omnipresence, His good will and that God is the Source of all. Every time we talk about poverty, illness, hate or even unhappiness we are stating that there is an absence of God in the situation. And the truth is there is no place where God is not present.
 
The appearance of lack or limitation in our lives or in the universe is nothing more than a mistake in thinking (bearing false witness in our mind). It may be caused by blindness or ignorance to the Truth principle that God is the Source of all. At any time we can change our thinking and change the appearance of lack or limitation to abundance.
 
We must learn to be true witnesses of God's abundance not only for ourselves but for others also. We should contribute to public charities (not to be confused with tithing) and work for the alleviation of suffering but always clearly know the Truth that God never ordered it so, that we are just simply cleaning up man's mistake of false thinking. When we do these things, the abundance of God will forever flow and bless us.
 
What the Bible says:
"You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness." Exodus 23:1
 
"Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness speaks deceitfully." Proverbs 12:17
 
"For this I was born, and for this I have come to bear witness to the truth." Jn 18:37
 
"As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." 1Ti 6:17
 
What Unity says:
"Poverty is a form of hell caused by man's blindness to God's unlimited good for him." Catherine Ponder, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity
 
"To bear witness to Truth is to know who we are and to express our true selves honestly." Eric Butterworth, Metamorality
 
"Lack is not prevalent in God's universe and if such lack appears anywhere it is the work of man and it is our duty to do away with it." Charles Fillmore, Jesus Christ Heals
 
Ideas for practice:
  • Georgiana tells us to speak directly to God's ever-waiting presence. Below are some of her suggested affirmations to directly connect to God. Choose one, use it as a mantra into meditation for several days. What came up for you? Journal about this experience.
  • It is Your good will that Your abundant good be expressed through me.
  • Your limitless wealth is mine. I receive it in faith and disburse it in love and wisdom.
  • I am free from the fear of lack because of Your riches within.
  • You are my rich Father and I am Your rich child living in Your rich world.
  • In Catherine Ponder's new & updated Open Your Mind to Receive she has added a chapter on the gift of agreement. The essence of the chapter says that the sooner you agree and retreat in peace, the better life is. In what areas of your life could agreement or cooperation with life bring peace? Can you bring yourself to agree at least partially? If so, take note of any peace you gain from the experience. Continue to look for ground for agreement in this or other situations, and note it in your journal.
  • Integrating this process can take some time and you may need support. This is a time when your triad of prayer partners can help. Discuss these exercises with them.

Stewardship

Unity is a center of spiritual light. We are dedicated to letting this light shine so brightly that people become more aware of their spiritual nature and express it in their daily lives. We address physical, mental and emotional needs through affirmative prayer and spiritual education. We serve those who seek inspiration and prayer support as well as those who use Unity teachings as their primary path of spiritual growth.

We ask for your generosity in sharing your time, talents, and treasure with USCEM so that we can share this light with many.  We affirm that God is the source of our supply and that we all are good stewards of self, family, community, congregation, and the Unity faith. Successful stewardship involves not only protecting the resources that exist, but also nurturing growth to ensure the future. Stewardship invites each person to balance spiritual development with good works in the wider world, enabling us to put our faith in action.

2016 Stewardship information will be here soon.
