11:00 Sunday Message: "Hearing with New Ears," Rev. Bronte; Music by New
Guest Artist, Cynthia Hart
What are you listening to? What are you hearing? Is it the dissonance of "the world" or is it the harmony? Is everything mixed together where even the melodious morphs into cacophony? How can we hear that which soothes, uplifts, empowers, encourages, balances us when there is "noise" yammering for our attention? How can we turn down the discordance and turn up that which pleases us? This Sunday Rev. Bronte will talk about some ways to live, think, and meditate our way into the kind of harmony that outweighs "reality" and blesses our ears and our lives. Special guest singer-songwriter Cynthia Hart joins us for the first time this Sunday.
About Cynthia Hart:
Cynthia was lead singer and founding member of Dreamer, one of the top acts from the Atlanta area during the explosion of southern rock scene in the 1980s and early '90s. After over a decade of being completely immersed in the music business, she ended her career and began soul searching, shifting her energy towards a profound exploration into spiritual and personal growth. Cynthia's life experience is beautifully woven into her music, creating blissful musical textures and enlightening messages to dance within our awareness. Her just-released
album, "I Remember," lends a divine invitation into the magic of remembering through a melodic journey into past lives, dreams of ancient civilizations and the power of wakening to our soul's purpose. Come on out this Sunday to meet her!
Check out her website.

"Prayer for Protection"
by James Dillet Freeman
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us; T
he presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, God is!
"Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet.
It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there - buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day." ~ Deepak Chopra
"Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"As long as you are certain about things, you are living within boundaries. Yet things you think you are so certain of actually have new qualities to unfold." ~ Deepak Chopra
This eNewsletter is brought to you with Love from --
Your Family of Friends at Unity Center for Spiritual Growth
Meeting at our beautiful location at 995 Hawthorne Avenue, Suite 105, Bells Plaza Shopping Center, right next to the Project Safe Thrift Store on the side of the plaza facing Burger King.
