Thank you to everyone who generously provided Easter baskets for folks in need in our community.  Remember that all those baskets are due back to the church this Sunday, March 29. 

Would you like 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."   

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.

The Gifts of Imperfection and her Oprah Life Class. Each week we will uncover new ways of letting go of thoughts such as the need to be right, worrying about what others think and the "shoulds" of daily life. We'll refocus on consciously cultivating authenticity, self-compassion, a resilient spirit, gratitude and joy, intuition and faith and meaningful work. We will venture into your creative spirit as we sing, dance and play using various art supplies (paints, stickers, stamping, glitter, your photos and much more). You will create your own six weeks of Rainbow Reminders that  

I AM ENOUGH as we delve into and discuss questions like:

*           Who has earned the right to hear my story?

*           How can I give myself permission to be imperfect?

*           What's the most courageous thing I can do for myself when I feel small and hurt?

*           What is holding me back from __?

*           And many more!

Come and try the first week. You will discover your soul urging you to return.

April 19 is Y.O.U. Sunday with guest speaker, Ned Kelley. Following services that day, Ned will present a unique playshop in which New Thought principles come alive through improv games and exercises. The art of listening and "Yes-And" - these are the primary skills of improvisational acting. By playing the fun and simple games which improvisers use to hone their skills you will expand your mastery and application of mindfulness, equanimity, imagination and co-creativity! Ned's goal is not to teach you proper acting techniques and he is not going to ask you to get up and perform in front of other people. We are not even going to try to be funny. Ned's desire is for us to journey from the head to the heart, to explore our spiritual practices and to play together!

Cindy's work has been featured in national juried shows and galleries, corporate and private collections. She is an award winning artist who creates paintings in water-media.

Evelyn Misner is a collage artist and photographer. A lover of words, color, fabric and nature, she collects all manner of small things. Her love of beauty and language, and her gifts of creativity and imagination are combined with paint, paper, fabric, natural objects and words to create detailed collages to inspire and delight. Dabbling in sewing, painting, calligraphy, floral design and having her own photography business provided rich and varied experiences to draw from when creating her collages. Her philosophy reflects Thoreau's who said, "To affect the quality of the day . . . that is the art of life."
