WELCOME SEPTEMBER

A while back, I came across a journal that had three words on the cover to announce its theme. The three words were “God is like,” followed by an ellipsis … three dots. Each page, with the help of a poem or a scripture passage or a prayer, completed that sentence. God is like… fire, God is like… a word, God is like… a friend, God is like… a shepherd, and so on. It was a great way to grasp, if only in a partial way, the divine mystery we call God.

Celebrate the Power of Prayer

Dear Unity,

So much is going on in the world. Affirmative Prayer is how we quiet the noise and tap into the divine truth within us.

Unity Village invites us to celebrate the transformative power of affirmative prayer with them during Unity World Day of Prayer in September.

Video Link: https://youtu.be/3u47NHM8Du0

This year's theme is "Be Still and Know." The affirmation....in the stillness, I awaken to divine wisdom...will help us live out this theme.

The focus of the event is the 24-hour prayer vigil. Any names or requests you send will be immediately held in continuous prayer in the Unity Prayer Ministry. Then they will be added to the prayer vigil during World Day of Prayer and will remain with Silent Unity for another 30 days after that.

Here’s how you can begin preparing for World Day of Prayer 2025 right now:

• Consider this year’s theme, “Be Still and Know,” and how these reflection questions can be applied to your own experience.
• Read and reflect on the guiding prayer.
• Share any names or prayer requests to be held in continuous prayer by Silent Unity—from the time we receive them through the World Day of Prayer vigil and 30 days after.

Kirtan  September 10 & 26, 6-8 pm  @ Unity's Hearth Room. All welcome to sing and chant the names of the Divine with the Shanti Salish Band.

"Kirtan helps the mind become quiet, and when the mind quiets, we can begin to perceive the mystical things, the sacred experiences,  that are around us always. In the silence between the songs, when the song stops, you can feel something. And that something is you. There is no greater experience than the experience of one's Self. And that vibration is always within you, that vibration is you. That's the beauty of any chant experience-with little or no effort we can experience and enjoy the vibrations of peace, energy, healing, and inspiration that are always within us."  Kamini Natarajan
