REV. BRENDA CONTINUES BYRON KATIE SERIES

Rev_brenda1 Please join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. as Rev. brenda moves ahead with our exciting series, "I Need Your Love Is That True?" This week, she will lead us into the depths of our expectations (in ALL relationships) and the resulting disappointment that we suffer. We'll also talk about how flawed our partners can become (chapters 6 & 7 in our book). If you are interested in living relationships in peace, you'll want to join us for this enlightening message. In addition, we have an added bonus - Rev. brenda is hosting an informal discussion after the service to share our personal insights and challenges in seeking love and approval. Vocalist Dave Medin will provide the special music for the service. He is a classically-trained baritone who recently played the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz" at Theatre Cedar Rapids.

SAVE THE DATE FOR JUNE 9 WORKSHOP

Be sure to save the date for a workshop by Rev. Ron Fritts following brunch on June 9. "Speak the Truth - Say What You Mean (and Think)" will explore the significance of the language we use in our everyday conversation, in the explanation of our theology and even in our music. It will examine some of Unity's basic teachings and consider how we can express them in current language, as well as when and how to share our truth with others.

 

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN UNITYCR CURB APPEAL?

We've been looking a little shabby recently and are motivated to bring the shine back to our outdoors. Please consider tithing a mere three hours of your time on Saturday morning, June 8 (9 a.m. - noon) and/or Saturday, June 15. We'll be trimming trees, moving debris to the edges of the parking lot and doing general spruce up work. Please show up, and if you have them, bring work gloves, loppers, chain saws and pole saws. Thank you in advance for demonstrating your loving care of our spiritual home!
