Reorder, Reprogram, and Renew - Your Power of Order

Reorganize, Reprogram, and Renew - Your Power of Order

Greetings!

As we prepare to move into fall, with the cooler temperatures, the changing of the leaves, pumpkin-spiced... everything, and football, football, football(!), I am inspired by two Scriptures:

1 John 4:4, "Greater is he that is IN YOU, [emphasis added] than he that is in the world..."

John 16:33, "...In the world you have tribulation. But be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

The "world" referred to in these two passages points to the cloud of negative ideas, negative thoughts, negative words, and negative actions to which humankind has grown all-too-accustomed.

"THEY say... With the economy the way it is..." "It's impossible for me to do great things, with the family I've had..." "Because I came from a broken home, I can't..." These are just a few examples of the mental inertia we may have found ourselves in during the course of our human experience. You, or someone you know, may be thinking, speaking, or acting from this mindset at this moment!

Our invitation in Unity is for all who choose to practice the release of the "negativism" of the world - to get out of the habit of accepting and believing everything the race consciousness has to say. We are invited to get into the habit of practicing - and demonstrating - realization consciousness. More than simple "positive thinking," realization consciousness hinges on Oneness with God, the Source, and all Life.

I firmly believe that, through a regular practice and demonstration of the Laws of Divine Mind, we - you, the person reading this message right now, and I - can change the consciousness of the race. The Human Race has been here on Earth for a long, long time... thousands of years, untold scores of millennia... and, in a very real sense, we are only beginning. We are only beginning to open to the awareness of our inborn potential. Our time is now.

Dear friend, you have the power within you, to bring balance and harmony to your life. September is the month for the Power of Order, one of the Unity Twelve Powers. You have the ability, God-given within you, to re-order your priorities, to refocus your attention and your intention, to take control of your life experience. God in you is greater than your circumstances, greater than your labels (self-imposed or otherwise), greater than any concept of lack or limitation.

Overcoming the stumbling blocks to demonstration becomes easier when we resolve to buoy one another in community. One of several opportunities to discover and develop these tools in a group setting - thereby building community - is coming up later this month: the Unapologetic Manifestation class Michele Timmons and I are co-facilitating. (Details and registration information are provided below.)

We can be grateful for the great-FULLness of Divine Wisdom, that is accessible to us at all times. This Fullness of Omniscience, Omnipresence, and Omnipotence is eternal, and eternity is now.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday... Our Youth and Family Ministry will be launching a NEW curriculum with music, activities, lots of fun, our Unity Women Of Truth Circle returns, and we look forward to building each other up, in loving fellowship!

One In Spirit,

"Seeds Of Spirit"

New YFM Curriculum

by Dr. Kristine L. Pass

From Daryn L. Wells, LUT - Youth and Family Ministry Coordinator:

About a year ago, I was recommended a new Youth and Family curriculum by a former UOC congregant, Rev. Dr. Kristine L. Pass, who wrote the material, songs, and activities for children and teens. I am so excited to now offer "Seeds Of Spirit" to our young Truth students! There are songs, games, and activities jam-packed into each lesson, and I am confident your young ones will enjoy it - and the opportunities for fellowship and spiritual development the program offers!

What's "Seeds Of Spirit" about?

From Kristine:

"Seeds of Spirit is designed to nurture Presence, Purpose, and Peace within children using Unity/New Thought principles. As Proverbs reminds us, 'Teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.'

"My heart is to help children establish these spiritual truths early so they can grow up already grounded in love and awareness—without having to first “unlearn” limiting beliefs many of us picked up along the way."

Your kids / grandkids are lovingly invited to the launch of this new school year - and this new adventure, "Seeds Of Spirit!"

"Unapologetic Manifestation"

A 10-Week Master Series

with Michele Timmons, Spiritual Director

and

Daryn L. Wells, Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT)

Course Overview & Description

Unapologetic Manifestation: The 10-Week Master Series

Co-Creating Your Life with Purpose, Power, and Grace

Manifestation isn’t about passive wishing or surface-level positive thinking; it is an intentional, active spiritual practice of aligning your mind, heart, and actions with Universal Abundance. Based on the acclaimed book Unapologetic Manifestation: 5 Steps to Create the Life You Want by Rev. Ken Daigle, Unity of Columbus is offering a 10-week immersive series facilitated by Daryn Wells, LUT, and Spiritual Director Michele Timmons.

This series is a grounded, step-by-step roadmap to unmasking limiting beliefs, expanding your capacity to receive, and stepping boldly into your co-creative power.

How We Integrate Ken Daigle’s Work

with Michele Timmons & Daryn Wells:

This course goes far beyond a typical book study. Michele Timmons and Daryn Wells actively synthesize Rev. Ken Daigle’s transformative 5-step model with the deep spiritual wisdom, companioning practices, and practical application.

Together, we bridge theory and lived practice:

Ken Daigle’s Core Architecture: Provides the foundational 5-step framework—focusing your mind, shifting consciousness, taking concrete steps, sharing your journey, and practicing radical openness.

Daryn Wells: Expands your understanding of how New Thought principles, shadow integration, and action strategies engage you in creating daily, sustainable habits that result in authentic change.

Michele Timmons: Infuses the course with a commitment to co-creation, an understanding of human blocks and stories, and a sacred space for vulnerability, heart-brain alignment, and deep community support.

What You Will Do in This Course

Throughout these 10 weeks, you will not just learn about manifestation—you will actively practice it in real time within a supportive spiritual community. In each 90-minute session, you will:

Focus Your Vision: Move from vague desires to crystal-clear, heart-centered declarations of what you are choosing to create.

Unmask Your "B.S." (Belief Systems): Identify and gently dissolve old shadow patterns, inherited conditioning, and self-limiting narratives holding you back.

Practice Heart-Brain Coherence: Rewire your neural pathways and align your emotional frequency with the good you seek.

Take Inspired, Grounded Action: Translate spiritual insight into concrete, courageous daily choices that move your life forward.

Engage in Spiritual Companionship: Experience the power of being seen, heard, and held in community as you share your journey and open yourself to receive.

Daryn and Michele are facilitating this series in two flexible ways! Depending on your schedule, you may choose either:

Virtual Sessions: Wednesday Evenings | Sept 9 – Nov 11 | 6:30 – 8:00 PM (Zoom link provided upon registration)

In-Person Sessions: Sundays | Sept 13 – Nov 15 | 9:00 – 10:30 AM at Unity of Columbus

Cost: All sessions are complimentary; Love Offerings are welcomed and appreciated.

Materials:

Required Book: Unapologetic Manifestation by Ken Daigle (Free Kindle download with Amazon Prime, or $18.95 on Amazon).

Recommended Journal: Unapologetic Manifestation 10-Week Companion Journal by Ken Daigle ($18.95 on Amazon).

The Doctor Is IN!
A New Feature Article Series

By Pam Cobb, MD

"Oh, My Aching Back!" (Part Two)

Typically conditions of the back are diagnosed by some type of X-ray; anymore, one has to complete a course of PT to get authorization for an MRI. PT focuses on core strengthening and stretching exercises which, when done regularly, can help. Other treatment modalities include:

—-medications (anti inflammatory,muscle relaxants, lidocaine patches, and opioids)

—-decompression therapy

—-chiropractic

—- oral or injectable steroids

—-medical massage

—- nerve stimulators

——vertebroplasty (micro fractures)

Over the counter medication can include topicals such as Icy Hot and pills such as Excedrin Migraine and Doans back pills. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen should ALWAYS be taken with food, and ideally only for short periods of time.

In Unity, we believe strongly in the healing power of prayers and positive affirmations. Check out the pamphlet: When Someone You Love Needs Healing. An additional prayer resource is Silent Unity.

Dr Pam Cobb is a family practitioner based in Columbus. Currently she works for both Signify Health and AbsoluteCare and is a supervisory physician for Black Olive healthcare. She is a board member for Unity of Columbus.
