What is Unity?


What is Unity? What does it mean? Maybe it means that everyone is the same in every way, that we all think and act the same way. Or … maybe it means that even as we celebrate our differences, we know that we can still choose to live together in harmony. I think I like that better! How about you?

 

Unity is also a magnificent faith tradition and a church with deep roots and an optimistic vision. Would you like to know more? Please watch this brief video, and then join us at Unity Church of the Mountains on January 12.

First UCM Hiking Club Outing - January 18

For Walt and Joanne Massey, living the Good Life means Adventure with a bold capital A. If you doubt it, ask them about their ascent to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Now that Walt is easing into retirement, the dynamic duo is looking forward to spending a lot more time at their Hayesville home, which is only a few steps from Lake Chatuge. They are also looking forward to sharing their love for outdoor aventures with their Unity family. Their first outing is scheduled for Saturday, January 18. The above flyer explains it well, but you are welcome to contact Joanne for more information. Walt has also set up a Facebook page. Check it out, then put the date on your calendar. Just do it!

Upcoming Events and Reminders

January 15 - Meal and Meditation resumed last Wednesday, with regulars meeting at the church at 4 PM for meditation, then deciding where to eat afterwards. (This time it was Sicily's.) The group is having a great time, and we are all overjoyed to have our dear Jan Vaughan back in action! Everyone is welcome to join us this Wednesday. There is a different Meditation leader each week, so that keeps things new and fresh.


January 16 - A Course in Miracles will meet 10 AM. It will be live at the church and also available via Zoom at the same time. This schedule will continue from 10 to 11:30 every week, until further notice. As co-facilitator Peggy Lince says, "The course is open to all people wishing to achieve peace and universal love by forgiving others and creating non-judgmental relationships."


February 2 - Town Hall Meeting - after the service, with a short break to allow a bit of socialization and to get a beverage and snack. Mike and the board members will discuss church finances, as well as current and upcoming projects and events. The floor will be open for a Q & A session, and to hear any questions or comments you may have. All are welcome and encouraged to participate, and your feedback is vital to the growth and future of our church.


February 20 - the Taize Connection. We will enter in silence and leave in silence. Mike will provide the music and lead us in chants and repetitive sounds that will open our minds and souls and deepen our spiritual relationship with God and our church family. There will be more information as we draw closer to the date.


REMINDERS - Let us stay mindful of our commitment to Community Outreach. We are in a committed relationship with POSITIVE PATHWAYS, and their need for assistance is ongoing. We continue to serve those in need through our donations to PENNIES FROM HEAVEN and the relief fund managed by Rev Darlene Strickland and the UNITY CHURCH OF THE BLUE RIDGE, as they continue to provide assistance to the many people whose lives are still seriously impacted by Hurricane Helene. Thank you and bless you for helping to make a difference in the lives of others.

Here's to the Magic of Beginnings

Keep a lookout on your hike!
