Welcome to our Unity of Columbus Newsletter.  
Happy Thanksgiving From Unity of Columbus!
 
We celebrate and give thanks for the bounty of our abundance each Thanksgiving Day, and in Unity - we offer a spiritual path that invites all spiritual seekers to practice this mindset, every day, as a way of life.  Meister Eckhart said it best, "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is 'Thank You,' it will be enough."



In that Spirit, I want to thank everyone who participated in our Annual Thanksgiving Feast on Sunday - those who prepared the dishes, provided desserts, set up the Wilson Hall space, all who gathered together in love and fellowship, and those who volunteered to clean up afterwards.  Each of you is a crucial part of what makes Unity of Columbus Whole - a spiritual community, united in Faith.  Bless you all!

We invite you to join us for our traditional Holiday Season activities here at Unity:
  • Hanging of the Greens THIS Sunday, Nov. 25 - 12:30 p.m.
  • "Imagine...  A World of Hope" Christmas Concert  Saturday, Dec. 8 at 6:00 p.m.
  • Christmas Eve Candlelight Service - Dec. 24 at 7:00 p.m.  (*NO Christmas Day Service!)
  • Burning Bowl Ceremony - Sun. Dec. 30 (during Sunday Service) with facilitator Daryn L. Wells
     
  • White Stone Ceremony - Sun. Jan. 6, 2019 (during Sunday Service) with facilitator Rev. Jan Seward
We look forward to seeing you at these uplifting events!  Feel free to invite friends and family to join in, as you gather together for turkey and other delicious cuisine tomorrow - there is plenty of love to share!  And the greatest blessing of all: The more love you give, the more there is!

Again a blessed, joyous Thanksgiving holiday to one and all!
 
In Joy and Celebration!

The Spiritual Snippet  

For this week's installment of The Spiritual Snippet, we share this video from Unity - the Five Basic Principles of Truth - en español:

Los Cinco Principios
"Los Cinco Principios"

From Unity: "The Five Principles" are core spiritual teachings that reflect the laws of the Universe and apply to everyone, all the time. These principles are reflected in every major religion, and are reflected in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Unity publishes our devotional magazine, Daily Word, in Spanish as La Palabria Diaria, and in five other languages, including Braille.

"When any of us puts our intention out there, and we make a 100% commitment to that intention, and we make every step a step of impeccability, a step of integrity-then somehow the universe opens up a way where before there was no way. "

Prosperity In Action
- How Unity Raised $35,000 for Unity Nigeria in Under 20 Minutes
By Daryn L. Wells  
 
I shared this story with many of you in person following the 2018 Unity People's Convention .  Due to extensive roof damage caused by severe weather in their area, the delegates from Unity of Nigeria (representing over 50 churches and centers in that West African country, as well as a Nigeria branch of Silent Unity) explained to the were without a Community Center.  

The Unity Worldwide Ministries Board, in concert with the International Advisory Council, requested aid to help restore the roof - and a very spirited (and Spirit-led) discussion took place during the Annual Business meeting that Wednesday, June 13. 

Below is a link to the full story, as reported by Mark Hicks, Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT) and founder of the website TruthUnity.net.  I had the pleasure of meeting Mark at the top of the Unity Tower in Unity Village, while accompanying a few of our friends from Nigeria on a tour of the Village, the first day of the Convention.

I thought I would share this in this week's Newsletter, since a number of you on our Board and in our congregation were blessed by the presence of some of these radiant expressions of God-Love two summers ago when they came to visit Unity of Columbus.  ( Rev. Helen Wilcox-Evwareye and Nicky Emotimi, who visited us in Summer 2016, are both mentioned - and photographed with Mark Hicks by yours truly - in the article.)
