UNITY

Dear Unity Family,Summer is over and the children are

back in school. We have had one of thebusiest and most successful summers sincewe moved into our building, almost 7 yearsago.

Seven, in the Bible, refers to whole-ness and completion, seven days of cre-ation, seven days of the week etc. With thesuccesses of our Summer Camp of theSpirit, Freddie Weber, Dr. Rocco Erricoand our upcoming World Day of Prayer, itis as if we have completed a cycle thatbegan with our move into our new churchhome so many years ago..

What’s next for us? As you look at allthe activities we have this fall we can feela new energy surging through our churchfamily. New people are arriving every dayfilled with new ideas to add to our commu-nity. To welcome new people we have aneed for Greeters. A group of people whoare welcoming, open to making newfriends and who are willing to be the firstfaces to greet new people who are in searchof a loving, open, spiritual community. Ifyou are interested please contact methrough the church office.

We affirmed this year that Now is ourTime in 2009. With the number of newfamilies blessing us a new cycle begins in2010. Through it all...God is in charge!

A Course In Miracles is a bookabout how to heal our minds,for this is where the source ofall our physical and psychologi-cal suffering lies. The aim of the Course is for us to achieve astate of inner peace, a quiet joy, no matter what we are doing,who we are with, or where we may be. It does this by teachingus a new way of looking at the world. This change of percep-tion is the miracle - hence the title of the book

New Wednesday Night Class Based on Excuses Be Gone!Wednesdays beginning October 14th at 7:00 PM

Within the pages of this transformational book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have prevented you from living at the highest levels of success, hap-piness, and health. Even though you may know what to think, actually changing those thinking hab-its that have been with you since childhood might be somewhat challenging.

If I changed, it would create family dramas . . . I’m too old or too young . . . I’m far too busy and tired. . . I can’t afford the things I truly want . . . It would be very difficult for me to do things differently . . .and I’ve always been this way . . . may all seem to be true, but they’re in fact just excuses. So thebusiness of modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down to tossing out the same tiredold excuses and examining your beliefs in a new and truthful light.

In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconsciouscrutches employed by virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside once and for all. You’ll

learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated waysof thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity of hanging on to them. Love Offering
