I have been going through about 4 file cabinets at my house in an attempt to throw away and clear out old stuff. In the process I found an old newspaper article given to me by my mother in 1972 about a lady who wanted to change her life so she made a "wheel of fortune" board with pictures of everything she wanted to have in her life.

Unity Church of New Hope Minister's Weekly Update

A NOTE FROM ELLEN
Valentine's Day is almost here!!! Reactions about this day vary from person to person depending on our past experiences with this day and what is happening in our lives now.
This time of year always brings back memories for me from 10 years ago in 1999. My youngest daughter, Susan, was pregnant and was ordered to strict bed rest by her doctor. I came to Springfield, Missouri for 3 weeks to take care of both her and my very active 5-year-old grandson, Marshall and my step grandson, Chris.
We all wondered when the new baby would arrive and were anxiously awaiting her arrival. I also wondered what the baby would look like as Dave the father is blond and Susan has dark hair.
The biggest surprise was the actual date of birth---Valentine's Day on February 14th, 1999. I remember going up to the hospital and seeing Rebecca for the first time. Marshall jumped up and down saying "She is like us" meaning there was very dark hair.
Rebecca is all girl who loves hearts, flowers and especially pets. She had a choice between a salt water aquarium or a birthday party this year and there was no problem---she immediately chose the aquarium.
No matter what your circumstance in life, Valentine's Day can be a celebration of love for yourself, friends and loved ones in your life.
Happy Valentine's Day to each one of you!!!!
Love,
Ellen Davis

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DON'T MISS OUR GUEST SPEAKER ON MARCH 1ST
Rev. Ellen Debenport is a Unity minister who writes and speaks about the power of the human spirit. Her first book, The Five Principles, is to be published by Unity House this spring, and she hosts a radio show called "Absolute Living" on Unity.FM, airing live every Monday at 1 pm. Ellen also serves on the board of directors at Unity Village, overseeing prayer, publications, and education for the movement. She was senior minister at Unity Church of Dallas until the end of 2007 and, starting April 1, will be serving as temporary minister at Unity of Wimberley in the Texas Hill Country.
TALK TITLE: Absolute Living
Plenty of us can recite spiritual principles, and we believe our lives can be transformed. But what are we actually supposed to DO? Rev. Ellen Debenport suggests ways to make ordinary, daily decision based in principle and to live from our highest consciousness. That's how we create the lives we want, and it's how we'll create the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Weekly Update Thursday, February 5, 2009
A NOTE FROM ELLEN
It is that time of year I personally do not particularly like because it is income tax time. Not only does it take a lot of time to figure things out but like so many others I have been looking at the statements coming in from investment companies and have noticed a marked decrease in the balances due to the downturn in the economy. Our country is going through lots of economic changes with corporations downsizing or going bankrupt, etc. I fully understand how easy it is to become emotionally affected by concern about finances, both personally and nationally.
At the same time I have reflected back over my life and can remember times when it was much worse for me in every way. This time gave me what I like to call my "spiritual muscles" because I was doing what the Israelites were doing in the wilderness---receiving day-by-day manna from God. Every time I now wonder about how I am going to "make it", I know it is time to "let go" and turn the whole situation over to God. I am always amazed at the unexpected income or circumstances that show up.
I think it is very sad to read or hear in the news that someone has committed suicide over the loss of the value of their stocks. Financial income and stability are very important but not the most important thing in life. Love is the most important and the Bible reiterates this truth over and over again. I believe that when we die and have a "life review", we won't be judged by how much money we had but by the love we gave out to the world and especially people in our lives.
February is the month of love and a good time to commit to more fully loving all those who are in our lives. As the Unity song goes "Love is nothing until you give it away, and you end up having more".
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate "Love in Action" in our church. We will have a special Sunday service with Pamela Sybert who is in charge of our Volunteer program giving the Sunday talk. Pamela is an expert on volunteerism at the University of North Texas and she is also working her way towards becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher. I will be in attendance as a part of the congregation. Her talk will be followed by a very special potluck with "surprises" at each seat so you won't want to miss this potluck. Bring your favorite dish and join us.
Enjoy the journey….

Update, Unity of New Hope, January 29th
NOTE FROM ELLEN
About a month ago I was sitting at my desk at the church and heard a tapping noise. I opened my door and saw a bird tapping at the glass in the church window visible from the chair in my office. This was the beginning of a barrage of tapping by various birds at the window for most of the month.
Dale Yeatts and Linda D'amanda were at the church one Saturday working on the various IRS required financials for the church when the "tap—tap—tap" occurred. Dale asked me about the tapping noise and I pointed to the bird. He said that when he and his wife, Linda, moved into their house birds were tapping at their window and they were puzzled by it until they found out that the previous owner would give the birds food after they tapped. It was a learned behavior on their part.
I have been thinking about any possible meaning of the birds tapping. Some people have told me that the birds are seeing themselves in the windows and tapping to get their mirror image to respond. But… why didn't they do this before now?
In the Native American culture birds are a symbol of a message from God or the Great Spirit. In dream symbology birds are a symbol of the ability to soar to higher awareness.
And, yes, I have heard that birds tap when someone is going to die.
Whatever the reason for the birds doing their "thing", I have enjoyed the diversion. I will be hard at work on various church projects and the tapping brings me into another awareness of nature. I invariably stop and think about life and its many mysteries and the wonder of it all. Maybe that in itself is the message---being aware of the interconnectedness of nature.
Don't miss the Pancake Breakfast at 10:00 AM this Sunday. Plus, Sidd Foster will be doing our music and we always enjoy her music.
See you soon!

Update: Unity of New Hope, January 22nd
NOTE FROM ELLEN
During the Presidential campaign we heard the words "hope" and "change" used over and over by the candidates. Although these words were used specifically for desired changes in our nation, we can use these words for own lives.
Have you given up hope in some area of your life? Maybe you have tried and tried to lose weight, have a loving relationship, become financially prosperous, find a job, be cured of a physical challenge, etc. and nothing seems to work.
To lose hope is to actually claim, feel and think that the universe/God/Spirit cannot help us in dealing with these situations. All the effort we expend to have things work out could manifest much easier and quicker by connecting with God and "asking" in prayer for the help we need. In the New Testament, Jesus gave thanks and prayed before performing miracles.
If there is an area in your life that is troubling, connect to God and ask God for the help you need. Be open and receptive to answers. Be willing to follow the guidance you receive. When you pray, you not only receive help but you connect with the energy of love, which is so renewing and restoring. This energy will sustain you through crisis and give you the strength, wisdom and insight to move through all the changes in your life.
Start your Sunday off at the coffee cafe at 10:00, attend the service and then enjoy the fellowship and food at the spaghetti dinner.
See you soon!

(each Wednesday 7:30 PM)
Ellen Davis and Lane Pierce Facilitators
The class is currently working on putting=2 0their 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 i n 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.
