REV. BRENDA TO SPEAK AND ANJI KAT TO PERFORM
Please join us for at 10 a.m. for our Sunday service when Rev. brenda  will kick off the Advent Season with her spiritual message titled "O Come All Ye Faithful". Plus UnityCR's Anji Kat will provide the special music. Anji lends pure vocals with smooth, skilled phrasing to both original songs and cover tunes, effortlessly blending folk, jazz and blues stylings with a sprinkling of prairie-sunshine pop. It was her grandfather, a self-taught jazz drummer, who dubbed her "Anji Kat" and introduced her to the world of music.
ANGEL TREE GIFTS DUE DECEMBER 4
A big thanks to those of you who chose a Holiday Angel tag from the Christmas tree at UnityCR. Please return the gifts, UNWRAPPED, with the tag attached by Tuesday, December 4. (Note: last week's e-Newsweekly had the wrong date.) Save yourself a trip and bring them with you Sunday!
SEEKING FOOD AND STUFFED ANIMAL DONATIONS
In addition to the Angel tree, there are other opportunities to give. From now until December 16, we are accepting donations of new stuffed animals. We'll fill them with love before taking them to various community agencies that will pass them out to children as the need arises. Also, we are collecting non-perishable food items for the Linn County food bank and cash donations for the food bank until December 16. Thank you all for your generosity during this time of the year.
SUSAN'S SALON CHANGED TO THIS SUNDAY
Due to a holiday scheduling conflict, Susan's Sunday Salon will be held this Sunday at 9AM. Please join us for pastries and great conversation! Our topic this month will be, "What is your gift to yourself this season?" We're talking about the unwrapped kind of gift, such as loving who you are right now or taking quiet time for yourself. Come and share your ideas about taking good care of your Spirit this holiday season.
