We have many activities to aid in your spiritual growth, provide fellowship opportunities and
to just have fun. Join us as often as you are able!
Two Services Now Offered - 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays!
If you have visited Unity Christ Church in the past few months, you know we have been packed to the
rafters! Beginning on Sunday, February 7th we will offer TWO services! Children's Sunday School
will continue to take place at 11:00 a.m. but we will have nursery available at the 9:00 a.m. service for
the little ones. The music and the lesson will be the same at each service, so please join us as often
as you are able.
Fellowship Circles are Now Forming - Last Day to Join is Wed., March 3rd
Fellowship Circles are an opportunity for getting to know others in a small informal group. You can
meet for breakfast, lunch or dinner, go bowling, visit a museum, go on a boat ride, etc. However,
most people do enjoy having a pot luck meal at someone’s home or going out to eat at a restaurant.
This is a great way to meet new folks and visit with old friends too!
Here’s how it works: Each person will have the opportunity to host once or twice in a year, depending
on how many people sign up. Each group will have 10-12 people in it (eight is a good number to join
together for a meal and often a few cannot attend due to various reasons). One person will be
preselected as host. The host will select a date, time and activity for their chosen month. The host
will contact each person in their group as soon as possible about the activity. People will respond
back to the host in a timely manner so the host knows how many will attend. If you do not want to
participate on a monthly basis, you may sign up to be a substitute. The host is encouraged to call
substitutes if others in their group cannot attend.
The Coordinator (Annette Cook) will randomly select the groups and hosts for each month. If there is
a certain month you would like to act as host, you may indicate this on the sign up sheet. You may
contact me at 763-5155 or admin@unitywil.com if you have any questions.

and desserts are also always welcome too!

Teacher Workshop-To include all teacher/volunteers new and veterans, my plan is to go over the
ages and development stages of children, go over classroom routines and thier importance and role
in our classrooms and Fly-up preparations. Lunch will be served and a good time had by all! This is
a great way for us to pull in "just interested" volunteers and let them know what youth ed is all about
so I'm inviting members who have let me know about their interest in participating in our Ministry yet
haven't made the next step.
The Moose is Loose Gift Basket Raffle - Sunday, March 21 at 12:30 p.m.

suede throw, two mugs and plates, chocolate, coffee, blueberry pancake mix, maple syrup, a dice
game, a jazz CD, and more. Tickets are $1 or 6 for $5 and can be purchased on Sundays, before
and after worship.
Friday Night at the Movies - “10 Questions for the Dalai Lama” is a tedious title for an anything-
but-tedious film. Expertly merging the mystical and the mundane, filmmaker Rick Ray, with musician-
composer Peter Kater, presents a warm and well-rounded portrait of his subject, his Buddhist
philosophies and the painful circumstances of his exile to a modest monastery in Dharamsala, India.
Please join us for a spiritually inspiring movie and discussion following the film.
NOT RATED
Popcorn and water available.
Love offering.

The Friday Book Study Group meets in the Parlor and discuss books with spiritual topics. Call 799-
8639 for more information.
A Course in Miracles - Fridays and Sundays
A Course In Miracles teaches a thought system – a way of seeing and understanding—based on love
and oneness with Spirit and with each other, as contrasted with the thought system the world teaches
which is based on fear and separation. The Course shows how our human (or ego) minds resists
these ideas because of our attachment to our separate bodies and, therefore, how we are in
competition with each other.
One group meets on Sunday evenings 7:00-8:30 in the parlor. A second (new) group meets on
Friday mornings from 11:00—Noon in the Uniteen room in the Children’s area. We read the text
together and discuss the material. We welcome you to visit to see if this is for you. The book also
includes a workbook section made up of daily lessons. For more information contact Penelope
Morningstar about the Sunday group and John Geiger (686-2091) about the Friday group.
