REV. BRENDA OUT OF THE OFFICE JULY 8
In addition to her typical "weekend" on Monday and Tuesday (July 8-9), Rev. brenda will also be out of the office on Wednesday, July 10. She'll return to UnityCR on Thursday afternoon, July 11. PRAYER-A-THON COMING UP JULY 12-14
This year's Prayer-a-thon, UCR's fifth such event, is geared toward taking a personal spiritual leap. The theme of "Creating Sacred Spaces" serves as a reminder that it is up to us to expand the space we have for Spirit in our lives, and the space for prosperity consciousness we have for ourselves and our community. How often do we find ourselves moving through life finding ourselves in a comfortable routine - a place of familiarity - in our prayer lives and in our budget? This 40-hour event is an opportunity like no other that allows us to push toward a greater expression of prayer consciousness, a chance to align with and live as the flow of prosperity! We have a goal of raising $10,000 to upgrade our parking lot and to contribute to our general fund. With less than two weeks until the Prayer-a-thon, we ask you to prayerfully consider how you can contribute to the success of this event. Are you willing to set aside money for our prosperity goal? Are you willing to pray alongside others in our spiritual community? Are you willing to lead or guide a meditation? We hope that you are able to come and be a part of UCR's largest annual fund and consciousness raiser!
