THIS SUNDAY, March 05, 2017
This month we'll look at "True Success" including "getting where we want to go." Are you willing to try new paths, new ways of be-ing and thinking? Author Raymond Charles Barker suggests we see ourselves as "God's representatives on earth." Are you able to hold that notion quite consistently? He adds,"Where you will go in the coming year will be determined by what you believe about yourself. To progress in any area, you have to think in larger terms." This Sunday we'll look at what we might be believing or not believing about ourselves and how to more consistently act as "God's rep." We hope you'll join us in our ongoing exploration of Unity principles and spiritual consciousness.
Music will be by the gifted and delightful Unity musician, Jennifer Ferren.
Ongoing...
9:40 to 10:20 am, every Sunday in the Meditation Room: Morning Quietude. G
ently guided meditation, often graced with the presence of Reiki healers in a calm setting of soft music or profound silence. Love offering basis.

MARCH EVENTS!
Our local nonprofit for the month of March - FOOD BANK OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA. Bring non-perishable food items to church. To donate funds, go to their website.
Join us in helping those local organizations that are doing great good in our community.
GOT TIME FOR LUNCH? Join Rev. Bronte & other Unity-minded folks for coffee, tea or lunch plus positive conversation at scheduled "Unity Lunches" on Wed., March 8th and March 22 from 1:30 to 2:30 at Jason's Deli on Hawthorne. Let us know if you're interested -- or just show up!
Great Reads!
Check out the many gently used books in our bookstore. Most are priced at under $5. Great titles from Deepak Chopra, Abraham-Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, Eric Butterworth, and more! We also have a selection of new books, including texts used in classes and book groups.
Thursday evenings ~ 7:00 to 8:30.
LAW OF ATTRACTION
by Abraham-Hicks. We meet at Lynyetta's home to discuss how spiritual laws work in our lives. Discussions are rich and lively as we share in a feeling of acceptance and sacred space. Donation basis. A separate Facebook group is set up for further discussions and for those who can't attend the Thursday gathering. Email us to join the Fb group or for details on the in-person meetings.
Read more here.
Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 at Unity Athens and going for 5 weeks, we will study
THE FIVE PRINCIPLES by Ellen Debenport. Each week will cover one principle as we delve deeper into powerful ways to make them work in our lives. While this is an excellent course for new folks to learn more about Unity, the book is complex and rich enough to intrigue those who've studied Unity for years. Facilitated by Rev. Bronte. Donations accepted and appreciated. Books are available for sale in our bookstore. (These classes also count toward "New Member" requirements.)
New Monthly "Collage for Life" workshops with John Bowman. Next group, March 19 from 1:30 to 3:30. Go beyond once-a-year vision boards and start "picturing" even more powerful ways of living using Unity principles and feeling the connection of Spirit in all areas of your life.
For March we will explore ourselves as expressed by nature.
Some days you may feel as peaceful as a bubbling brook. Another day, another situation, and you are a forest fire of ego anger. Or how about that old oak tree, standing tall and strong, branches swaying in the wind of change, bouncing back from adversity?
So, how many yous are you? Give it some thought and come to the workshop, which includes discussion & social time. Bring a lunch to eat after service and before the workshop or run out to get a quick meal. Donations appreciated.
Do you want to make a deeper connection and become an "official" member of our Unity Athens Family? Attend "New Member" classes.
Check with Bronte for dates & schedules of classes, the movie showing, and the next opportunity to join Unity Athens.

What is a VISION 2017 Letter? We provide free paper and envelopes or use your own. Write down what you'd like to see manifest during 2017 and beyond. Use detail and think about what it will feel like to have these dreams come true. Seal your letter in a self-addressed envelope and leave it in the special box at Unity Athens. We hold it for a year, pray over the box, and mail it back to you, unopened, at the end of 2017.

"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!
"Sit by yourself often and mentally deny that any 'evil' can have power over you or any material conditions hinder you. Above all, use the fifth universal denial. Then you will never be deceived by anybody. This is it: 'There is no sin, sickness, or death in Spirit and in Truth.'" - Emma Curtis Hopkins, Drops of Gold
"Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other." ~ Psalm 85:10
