ANNOUNCEMENTS 

 

Sunday after service – Book study- How Then Shall we Live by Wayne Mueller.  Rev. Airin will be facilitating this book study at 12:30 for those who would like to go deeper with the ideas presented during the lesson. 

August 4th  7 – 8:30 PM Speaking Circles Group - back by popular demand Wednesdays 7 - 8:30 PM August 4 - September 22 (there will be no meeting the week of September 6 because of WDOP activities) facilitated by Ros Goldsbrough and Rev. Jesse.  In February, March and April we held Speaking Circles for the first time here in our community.  I thought that this group would be similar to one that I took part in during my two years at Unity ministerial  school.  Back then it was the best thing that I ever did for myself to get comfortable being an authentic speaker in front of people.  Our UCGP group was all of that and much more.  It was a circle of transformation where everyone in it, myself included, opened into a greater expression of their authentic Christ Self. It is based on the book “Be Heard Now” by Lee Glickstein.   There are no techniques to learn only finding ease within yourself in this setting. Please join Ros and me if this kind of living Presence and comfort within yourself and with others is a desire of your heart.  I promise this group will be a safe, fun, non threatening place to walk through any fear you have around public speaking and to breakthrough and awaken into a greater expression of your authentic Christ Self.  You will want to sign up right away as this group is limited to the first ten people that sign up.  Books are available in the bookstore.
