Update: Unity Church of New Hope, January 15th

NOTE FROM ELLEN

        Last week I set the alarm clock and woke up just before the alarm clock went off.  How many times have you had this happen?  I am always amazed when this occurs.
          I started thinking about how this works.  I set in my mind a specific time to wake up and go to sleep trusting in the alarm clock.  But since I wake up just before the alarm clock, then something in my mind is geared to help me wake up at the time I want. 
          Think what this means for our lives.  All you have to do is "set in your mind" whatever it is you want to experience and then trust life to bring it to you. 
          The most difficult part is not to worry or think about it.  All of us tend to get in the way of what we want by fear or worry.  No wonder Jesus said over and over "Fear not" and yet we are guilty of fearing that we won't have a good outcome of our lives.
          I have always found that the things that don't mean as much to me tend to manifest quickly while the most seemingly more important things such as finances don't seem to manifest as quickly.  I know I get in the way of a bigger manifestation by my worry and fear.
          How do we reverse that?  By giving life the "light touch".  This takes a lot of trust and faith in God to provide for us and we have to let go of a lot of control as well as fear.  And we have to be specific as well.
          We have so much good going on at our church.  Check below to see what is going on in the next few weeks.
          Enjoy the journey of life!!
           
       See you soon!

Send Sue to Chaplain Training

Sue Greenwood is going to Charlotte, North Carolina on March 26-28th for Prayer Chaplain Training.  With Ev Harman-Ahmad in Africa we need a person here who can train new prayer chaplains.  The cost for the actual training is $380 plus expenses to get there and back.  Sue has an American Airlines Advantage account and could accept miles for the ticket if you can spare them. She would need a total of 25,000 miles. If you have air travel points you would be willing to donate, email Sue at su3f@yahoo.com.  She will try to make arrangements to find someone at the church to stay with or stay in a hotel.  She will provide her own meals and incidentals. We will be collecting money through special events plus there will be a donation box in Fellowship Hall.  All donations will be welcome no matter how large.  Thanks Sue, for your desire in receiving this training and working with our church in this way.

VISIONING CLASS
(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 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.
