Unity and the Spirituality of Rumi - Part 2 |

In week two of our Rumi series, we will discover why he was called Mevlevi or Mawlana and what they spiritually mean. Our dance with Rumi will include topics such as ~ True Love ~ The Sublime Art of Gathering In ~ The Guest House ~ and again, how they relate to Unity’s 5 Principles and other spiritual teachings as brought forth by our founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. |

Want some together time with your Unity community? Plan to join us for our Leftovers Friendsgiving Fellowship on Sunday, November 28, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. You can bring extra leftovers from Thanksgiving to share or just bring your own food to eat. Bring a chair to socialize outside if we have more folks than can socially distance inside...or just to give thanks for a balmy Colorado day in late November. Masks are required inside when not eating, and we will be socially distanced during our time together. We hope you can join us! |

On Tuesday, November 30, there will be a worldwide celebration of generosity. Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to come together through generosity. There are many ways to give, including through your time, talents, and financial support. As you consider how you might contribute on Giving Tuesday, we invite you to make a donation to benefit Unity's Benevolence Fund or Operating Fund. Just last week, the Board provided financial support through the Benevolence Fund to two long-time members of our community experiencing challenging times. And gifts to the Operating Fund provide important support for our ongoing operations. What better way to share your Thanksgiving Gratitude with your spiritual community?
Thank you in advance for your generosity! Ways to give are included further down. Please include a notation on your contribution, showing how you wish your gift to be designated.

The Christmas Tree Project
The Christmas Tree Project provided trees and trimmings to almost 500 local families last year who would have been without during the drear of the pandemic. This great program already has over 1000 requests for help this year, and we need Elves to make the magic happen!
The COVID-Safe process is for volunteers to sort and box donated decorations outside on Saturday, Dec. 4th. Then we give trees and decoration boxes out as cars drive thru on Saturday, Dec. 11th. Specific hours are listed below, but you do not need to come for the entire time. Any hands make lighter work! This is a great service experience for older kids and for adults who cherish bringing Christmas joy to families!
Last year was my first time -- and it was a BLAST! To join the Elves, send me your name, email, and phone number -- like this: Peg Nugent, [email protected], 414-333-6641
Setup: Saturday, December 4th from 9-3 at 4575 Galley Rd, Suite 200E
Giveaway: Saturday, December 11th from 8-3 at 4575 Galley Rd, Suite 200E
Jump start your own Holiday joy!
