'Tis the season to bless our community with lovingly filled Easter baskets for children and adults in need. You will have the opportunity to adopt the tags and fill baskets full of love and goodies through March 22. All baskets are due back to the church by March 29. This year we are supporting Little Sisters of the Poor, Lake Mary Center, Community Linc and members of our own UCOP family.

And you have a wonderful additional way to serve during the Easter Basket Outreach Program. It takes many volunteers to support the adoption tables each Sunday, to help organize and inventory the baskets, and most fun of all... to help deliver these beautiful baskets to their grateful recipients! Basket deliveries are scheduled for Wednesday evening, April 1 at 5pm and Saturday morning, April 4 at 9 am. If you would like to give of your time and love by serving on this team, please contact team leader, Glenda Analla at easter@ucop.org or call 913-593-5380.

Have you ever considered serving on the Unity Board of Directors?  We are looking for people who have been a member of UCOP for at least one year, regularly attend worship services and other activities, support the ministry with their time, finances, love and prayers, are conversant with Unity teachings and strive to "walk the talk" of our mission and goals. Board members are a tremendous blessing to the church. People who have  

served often say how they were blessed by being in service in this way.  

As one person described it, serving on the board was "the most  

spiritually uplifting experience I have ever had."

With every opportunity to step further into our greater good and life journey is the likelihood that something from our past will resurface. In most cases these events and memories have been hanging around in our minds for long periods of time... years even. It is inevitable, however, that these dangling participles make their way into our field of vision. They should not, by any stretch of the imagination, be the genesis of our undoing. In fact, these seemingly unwarranted mental and emotional intruders rise to the occasion in our mind to create an impulse for us to extract more of our true essence and character. Heavily laced within these somewhat vintage frames are principles that point us in the direction of becoming honest with our heart of reconciliation and our forgiving selves. Letting go of pain and hurt is noteworthy. And learning the practice to put these principles into action may be elusive and quite slippery. But the footing gained in our journey on the road to our personal best is made clearer in the process. The first step is being willing to walk the path... to say "YES" to that inner voice that is calling us forward to a greater way of being and becoming, a healthier way of living and a broader way of sharing our gifts in the world.

This is the second part of the course titled "Myrtle and Charles Fillmore on Healing and Wholeness." The whole course is based on the spiritual laws and universal principles that support the expression of health and wholeness in our minds, bodies and affairs. We will be working with Myrtle and Charles Fillmore's interpretation of how Jesus used and demonstrated those spiritual laws and principles in his own life. The purpose of the course is to support participants in developing a practical understanding of Myrtle and Charles' theology as heart-centered metaphysicians. It is our expectation participants will be inspired to become heart-centered metaphysicians themselves. We also expect them to expand their "tool kit" for using healing principles in their daily lives and in supporting other people in their own healing process.
