PROJECT REBUILD ~ POSSIBILITIES EXPLORATION

On October 6, we held an open meeting for all congregants to share their divine ideas about the possibilities in rebuilding our Sacred Grounds & Books, Lending Library and storage space area. Our own Rich Moritz graciously collected what was shared that day and transformed those ideas into a visual image. Members of the Project Rebuild team met on October 15 to review the drawings and graphics. Based on that discussion, further refinement of re-design drawings will take place. Next, the Board of Trustees and our Sacred Grounds & Books ministry chair will meet to discuss the final design.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FROM JIM HEALY, PROSPERITY CHAIR

I don't know about you but I am a fan of IPR (Iowa Public Radio).  It provides such a refreshing approach to understanding the issues of our day, learning new things that you may not have been exposed to in any other media, listening to music away from the standard radio fare, and sometimes it is just fun. IPR exists only because it is supported by those who find value in one or more of the above aspects of its programming.

UnityCR is very much like IPR in that it offers refreshing ideas to help us navigate our spiritual journey, causes us to think about life and our role in co-creating our experiences, teaches skills and principles to improve our lives, introduces us to a variety of music that we might not otherwise experience, and sometimes it is just fun. UnityCR also exists only because it is supported by those who find value in one or more of the above aspects of its programming.

If you have been following the budget information provided in our monthly bulletins, you are aware that our year-to-date income is at about 87% of what is needed to sustain our Center and its mission.  Please consider what you might do to help improve this situation during the closing months of 2013.  All contributions are welcome.  Find an amount that represents your passion for UnityCR and take action.  As always, you are encouraged to talk to any board member if you have questions or suggestions.
