All are welcome to the following ongoing Unity groups and classes:

Phoenix Prayer Circle with Juliana Zirul, Facilitator

One of the essential ingredients to a spiritual life is the regular practice of prayer and meditation. There is no more power way to shift your consciousness. All who are interested in deepening and expanding their prayer life will share in a book study centered on The Handbook of Positive Prayer by Hypatia Hasbrouck. This is also the perfect opportunity to experience the incredible blessings of group prayer and meditation. As part of this Circle, you will be holding in sacred space all the prayers of our beloved congregation. The first gathering of the Circle will be Wednesday, February 17, 7-8:30 pm at Juliana’s (750 Memory Lane). The circle will meet the first and third Wednesdays of the month. For more information, please contact Juliana through the church line (385-6519).

Prosperous Blessings Circle with David Goldsmith, Facilitator

We all want to open to Divine Flow so that we can manifest gracefully in all the areas of our lives ~ physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. To facilitate this union with all of the blessings that are ours to give and to receive, we will gather to expand our consciousness in practical ways as we study Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth. As part of this Circle, you will set your intentions, claim your good, and open to be a clearer channel of all life’s blessings ~all amid a wonderful support group. The first gathering of this Circle will be on Wednesday, February 24, 7-8:30 pm at David’s (536 Foster). For more information, please contact David (395-3907).

Sophia Women’s Circle ~ Marlena Knill, Coordinator

All of the women of Unity are welcomed to an inviting, inspirational circle of spiritual sisters. We gather to share mutual support and lively discussions about how to integrate spiritual insights into our daily lives. We’ll be planning the year’s focus during our January meeting, so be sure and come to help us vision. At the first meeting, Sky and Rev. Pam will share their recent adventures with the Divine Feminine in Italy. Meets the 3rd Sunday of every month except February: upcoming meetings are January 17, February 28, and March 21.

Gather for sack lunch at 1 pm ~ Program from 1:30 to 3 pm. Meetings at various homes, so call Marlena for the location (385-6519).

Unity Men’s Group ~ Lane Smith, Coordinator

At the same time the women gather, Unity’s men get together as well. They share lunch at a local restaurant to plan evening movies, book studies, and service projects. This is an open, welcoming group who share great companionship in all their activities.

Meets the 3rd Sunday of every month, except February: upcoming meetings are January 17, February 28, and March 21 from 1 to 3 pm. For location and activities planned, call Lane (385-0411).

It was Christmas day in the war zone and a one-day cease-fire prevailed. Soldiers on both sides of the battle line huddled to keep warm in the cold desert air. Andre read the letter from his girlfriend for the fiftieth time. Enrique sadly visited the humble grave of his buddy, George, marked by a makeshift wooden cross.
