NOTE FROM ELLEN
Last week I decided to go get my car washed and cleaned at a local car wash place. It was a beautiful day and I was sitting outdoors on a bench when a woman sat down next to me and started talking to me. "What do you think of that book?", she asked, pointing to a book I had brought with me to read. The book was "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. She went on to say that her sister had insisted she buy that book and she wanted to know what I thought.
I told her that I think it is a wonderful book and that what they teach in the book works. She said in that case she was going to go out and buy the book.
I told her that I think it is a wonderful book and that what they teach in the book works. She said in that case she was going to go out and buy the book.
I sat there after she left and thought about the tremendous success of The Secret and the movie that came out based on the book. The spiritual principles that Unity teaches are found everywhere in the book. Tthe following quotes from Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity are in the book:
"The spiritual substance from which comes all visible wealth is never depleted It is right with you all the time and responds to your faith in it and to your demands on it" page 103
"Divine Mind is the one and only reality" page 161
She also recommends people buy the Old Testament Millionaire series of books written by Catherne Ponder who was my first Unity minister and who has written many books about Unity principles.
James Trapp, President of the Association of Unity Churches Worldwide, has this to say about "The Secret": "The Secret has been around for a while and what the secret really is is that Unity has been teaching these principles in a significant way for a significant period of time." (Pulled by a Vision CD by AUC)
We live in a world that is now openly discussing the spiritual principles that Unity has been teaching for years. These principles work.
We all face challenges and these challenges vary from person to person. All of us have access to the same resources to deal with these challenges: Go within for answers to these challenges;, pick up a spiritual book; come to church and be around like minded people and know that life can be enjoyed.
See you very soon!

VISIONING CLASS
(each Wednesday 7:30 PM)
Ellen Davis and Lane Pierce Facilitators
The class is currently working on putting their goals in writing to correlate with the images in their books.
Visioning is all about dreaming, fantasizing, clarifying and energizing your life. You decide what it is you want in your life and then begin to envision those things. By collecting and organizing images of items or important words you can surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to vacation, your life changes to match those images and those desires. Between Ellen's commitment to the system of Visioning and Lane's commitment to goal setting there are many lessons to be learned in any one night of Visioning class.
This class is supported by love offerings.
A Vision Book is really an inventory of your desires - come stock your shelves.
