Join us this month as we experience a "December to Remember" by sharing in the sweetness, the sacredness and the holiness of this time of year in new and empowering ways. Each week, we will turn within to explore the depth and meaning of the holidays, while at the same time enjoy the trappings of the outer experiences. Surely, it will be a month we will all remember.

Did your parents establish a Christmas Club savings account at the first of the year, so that by the time Christmas rolled around, they had money to buy gifts? Perhaps you even had (or have?!) one. While having such a savings account is a good idea, there is an even more important account to have. It is your spiritual savings account, which, if you make regular deposits into it, will be available when you desire to make withdrawals from it. Join us on Sunday when we will discuss having a spiritual savings account.

Prosperity's Ten Commandments

December: Year's Review

Well, Power of Prosperity friends, we have come to the end of another great Unity prosperity book, Georgiana Tree West's Prosperity's Ten Commandments. As we look back over the past year's study, we hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey of prosperity and have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Happy New Year.

Ideas for Practice:

Look back over the Bible and Unity quotes provided in previous issues. What do you see over all that time that speaks to you in particular? Is there a repeating theme(s) that seems to have a direct application to your life? Journal about this. Memorize a passage that is of particular meaning to you and take it with you throughout the day, reciting it as an affirmation.
Discuss the overall themes and how they build upon each other with your prayer triad.
