Our focus in December is upon Joy!  

  

   "I delight in the bliss and wonder of every moment."  

 

The UCOP nursery is offering parents a chance to get out and take advantage of those great bargains the day after Thanksgiving. Leave the kids with us for a day of fun and games, for nursery children and their older siblings (up to 5th grade). Childcare available in the nursery from 8:00 to 5:00.  (love offering)

Having trouble finding a gift for that someone who has everything? Looking for a way to give twice in one gesture? Stop by the Arts and Crafts Sale sponsored by UCOP and the Century Club in harmony hall after services on December 1st. You will likely also find just the right gift for yourself and the proceeds go to help Children's Mercy Hospital with unbudgeted but needed expenses. Now that's truly a gift!

 

  

 

 

 

Join us for a time to relax, unwind and explore the spiritual topics that are relevant to our lives today.  Reverend Robin and Brandon Nagel will introduce the evening's topic, followed by small group discussion and a time of meditation and music to awaken the spirit.  We will be blessed by the music of Victor Dougherty on guitar and enjoy healthy treats and drinks available for purchase during the evening.  This is your time to get away and lean into your spiritual path amidst the relaxed vibe of the Spiritual Cafe.

Annual Holiday Celebration

December 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon     

  

We are continuing our holiday tradition of the ornament gift swap.  Each lady is asked to bring a wrapped ornament to participate in the "White Elephant" gift exchange.  We will warm up together with a potluck brunch. So bring your favorite holiday dish and a recipe card (if it's not a closely held family secret). If you haven't been to a Women in Unity gathering yet, make this one your first!  It will be full of fun, laughter and connection.  We hope to see many of your faces there. This year our hostess will be Vanessa Green. (9720 W. 121st Terrace, OP, KS  66213)  Please RSVP to Brenda Brock here.

December 15th at 6:00pm in the sanctuary

 It's Christmas Eve in the tiny town of Hope, Kansas and the staff of the beloved small town radio station, W.H.Y., is busy spinning Christmas carols for the good people of Hope.  That is, until the Scrooge-like station controller, Mr. Zander, arrives to tell them that this may be their last Christmas on the air!

Can they save their station?  Can they pull the people of Hope together to find a solution?  Will you join us on December 15th at the Rally to Save W.H.Y. in the "Nick of Time"?

The children and staff of our Youth & Family Ministry have been working on developing this play for about a year now, through workshops, rehearsals and set building days.  They have invested their love and endless joy into bringing you a show you'll not soon forget!  We hope you'll join us.  And bring some cookies too!  Hot cocoa and a Cookie Potluck will follow the show!

This meditation provides the opportunity to go into a deep, deep experience of the Presence. Meditation does wonderful things to our human bodies, giving them time to revitalize and heal themselves. At the same time, our souls experience their real, true selves, going to the place inside that is timeless and eternal. After the meditation, there will be a sacred prayer circle to share and honor one another's prayer intentions. You'll experience such serenity you won't want it to end. This month, experience the special "All Is Calm, All Is Bright" meditation, a traditional favorite for the last 10 years!
