First Unity's service times are changing!

Beginning Sunday, August 30, service times will change to 9:30 & 11:30 am.

Why? We offer the same incredible experience twice on Sunday mornings; however, until now seating at the second service has been over-capacity requiring chairs in the lobby while seating at the first service has been under capacity. Our new service times will balance attendance at both services and allow us to open our doors wider to the community.

Three Ways to Bring Your Spirituality to Harvest Harvest (n): the result or consequence of any act, process, or events. As in: The journey yielded a harvest of wonderful memories.

Rev. Temple Hayes, Senior Minister

October 25-November 22

On behalf of myself, Rev. Russell, the Board of Trustees and staff, we are pleased to bring you an amazing fall filled with growth, abundant living, prosperity and opportunities which will impact our Tampa Bay community, thus impacting our world. We are excited about how Unity is changing our lives, opening our hearts and building dreams. We are excited about the harvest which is manifesting due to all of our individual and collective efforts.

And we are confident that the journey you are choosing to take with us will yield a harvest of wonderful memories.

From time to time, people ask me, “How can I help? I am so excited about how the principles of Unity are changing my life, and I would not want to keep this information from anyone. I feel free, my life is better, my family is happier and I want others to have the opportunity to experience the same.”

The true question to ponder is, “How do I move from passion to participation?”

I attended a Unity church in my youth for quite some time before I decided to move from a place of passion to actually becoming involved. Yet, the moment I stepped out and began participating, my life changed in ways beyond my personal imagination.

There are three ways in which you can move from passion to participation:

A Five-Week, LifeChanging Program

First is to continue to participate in your own spiritual growth.

In Lessons in Truth, H. Emilie Cady tells us, "The law of life is a law of growth. To educate never means to force into from the outside, but always

means to draw out from within something already existing there."

Our seven-week Spirit Expressing series, based on Soul Currency written by Ernie Chu, is filled with mystery, growth and wonder about the possibilities for your life. This particular program is so exciting to us, because it is written by a New Thought minister who clearly understands our language, our principles and how we approach an abundant way of living.

We are thrilled to have the author of our Spirit Expressing book with us on August 30 during our Sunday services and on October 18 for our banquet (our best one yet!)

When participating in Spirit Expressing, you have the opportunity to deepen friendships with others in your group, as you explore principles and concepts in Unity. I still benefit from friends I made in circle groups 20+ years ago. In home study groups, you are able to explore concepts on such a deep level which not only benefit you but all those around you.

Second is to participate in your spiritual home.

Our five-week series entitled “Living the Greater Life” is a community-based program which will allow you to deepen your awareness of First Unity, our goals and values at the very heart of all of us. We will launch “Living the Greater Life” with the power of a shared vision. You will have the opportunity to share what matters to you and what you would like to see in the future of Unity Campus. On October 18, we will hold these ideas in prayer, write them down and then let them go at our Spirit Expressing Banquet, as we celebrate the experience of Spirit Expressing and move towards our future. What [continued on pg 7…]

Minister's Message

A

12 Powers, 7 Chakras and 1 You As a graduate student at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, I directed much of my research to topics related to the teachings of the Unity movement.

As we studied Eastern religions in the class “The Psychology of Religion,” it occurred to me that the teaching of the seven chakras paralleled Unity’s teachings of the 12 powers of man. My professor’s comment was, “That would make an interesting term paper.” (I later realized that was her answer to most everything…).

I had the opportunity that same semester to visit the Unity archives at Unity Village, Missouri, and begin research for this paper. As I began probing, I was surprised to find not a single article that compared the 12 powers and the 7 chakras. I was also surprised to find that Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore did not originate the teaching of the 12 powers as I had been taught – and taught others.

Aside from the nuts and bolts of comparing two systems of thought, I came away from the project with a deeper appreciation of the archetypal understanding found in various belief systems that there are energy centers in the body, and that through spiritual practice and mental and physical discipline they can be stimulated to produce healing and enlightenment. Acupuncture is another wellknown modality that could fit into this mold.

Although we in our Unity movement are open and receptive to a variety of teachings, not everyone in what we call the “Western” world is as accepting. One who offered a warning to Westerners about adopting Eastern practices was the eminent psychiatrist Carl Jung. In my term paper I reported: "In reading C.G. Jung’s psychological analyses of Eastern religious traditions, one is immediately made aware of his profound respect for the wisdom of the East. One is also immediately made aware that Jung did not advise Westerners to attempt to apply Eastern practices to their lives. He clearly did not think that kundalini yoga and its chakras had a place

in the West, but he did posit that a form of Western yoga would emerge. Writing in 1936 he stated, 'In the course of the centuries the West will produce its own yoga, and it will be on the basis laid down by Christianity.' (CW 11:876)."

Charles Fillmore, an avid student of the emerging science of psychology, apparently had scant knowledge of Jung although they were contemporaries. I only found reference to Jung in the archives, a reprint of an article from another non-Unity periodical in a Unity magazine from 1916. And, as noted below, Jung had no apparent knowledge of Charles Fillmore: "Little did Jung know when he published the essay from which the above noted quote was taken, that in Kansas City six years earlier Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity School of Christianity, had published a book entitled The Twelve Powers of Man in which he articulated a teaching that the body had 12 ganglionic nerve centers roughly corresponding to the seven chakras of kundalini energy. Fillmore’s theory was based on his understanding of metaphysical Christianity."

Can we consider the Unity teaching of the 12 powers a type of “Christian Kundalini?” Is such a study of value to us today? Where can I get a copy of Rev. Russell’s research? Join me and your Unity community for my spiritual education class 12 Powers and You! on Tuesday evenings beginning September 1 and together we’ll answer these questions.

banquet, as we celebrate the experience of Spirit Expressing and move towards our future. What is held in mind will produce its own kind. Our last visioning process was in 2005, and most ideas have come into fruition. It is time to create again and have some of your dreams and energy in this process. "Living the Greater Life” will allow you to see a new paradigm of spirituality, community and how fortunate we are to have a campus consciousness.

Third is to take these values to the community Every great leader who discovers their own individual awakening wants to pay it forward by participation. We have an amazing opportunity in Tampa Bay to participate and get the name of Unity out in our community. Every week, we still hear people say, “I have lived here all my life and didn’t know such a place existed.”

Here’s a simple way, a beneficial way and a healthy way in which you can help us change this. Sign up for “Finish Strong in Unity” in which you or someone else will walk in the Gasparilla walk with at least 100,000 others with Unity T-shirts and a Unity presence. We believe in nature, health and taking care of our physical bodies.

In Jesus Christ Heals, Charles Fillmore states: "I am unlimited in my power, and I have increasing health, strength, life, love, wisdom, boldness, freedom, charity, and meekness, now and forever." This is a magnificent time to fully express Truth. What an opportunity to make a statement about who we are. This year we would love to see at least 200 of you walking in the presence of love; please consider being one of us. Mark your calendars now for the walk on February 27, and plan to participate in the largest Unity community based event ever! Look for sign-ups and more information soon.

What a blessing it is to be part of this magnificent community with you. Please know in Unity how much you are loved and appreciated. United, we are changing our world and the paradigms of others by being the light in our everyday lives.

Deeply consider participating in all the programs this fall with us. Move from passion to participation and get ready for the harvest which will come to you unlimited and filled with infinite blessings.

Loving life,

CommUniteam-Community in Action CommUniteam is reaching into the community to impact people’s lives. We believe that active volunteering, tithing time and talent, is an essential step on the journey of spiritual awakening and growth. Events and projects of CommUniteam are wide ranging. We extend the reach of our message and the impact of our beliefs by helping others in need, standing up for our environment, and through many projects and activities that make a difference within, and beyond, First Unity. Check out what we've been up to!

Earth Angels Promote Greening of Our Campus and Community

By Patricia Neemeh

Earth Angels' mission statement is: "To honor our divine heritage, we will respect and preserve the earth's treasures by minimizing First Unity Church's environmental footprint. In leading by example, we aim to disseminate this message throughout our community."

As spiritual beings blessed with a miraculous physical home that is graced with sparkling waters and verdant landscapes teeming with life, we have an obligation to honor mother earth.

This is our home. The respect we accord earth’s intricate web of life is indicative of our gratitude for gifts of abundance.

Through Unity principles, we understand humanity to be co-creators with God. The sacred nature of this creation is uplifting, seeking the greatest and highest good in all that we do. Biblical themes of stewardship and reverence for life thus demonstrate a harmonious relationship between theology and environmentalism.

The new Earth Angels group at First Unity seeks to further the goal of “walking the talk” by not only adopting ecological practices on the campus but also in working throughout the community to further these ideals. As such, the group is collaborating with CommUniteam as an affiliated branch of the organization. Wherever CommUniteam reaches out, Earth Angels will be available to offer insight and service.

We will launch environmental programs, perspectives, and projects and keep you updated on progress as we take one step at a time. For further information or to participate, contact Rev. Russell Heiland, the Earth Angels sponsor, or team leader Mary Gerken. Both may be reached by contacting the church.

Successful School Supply Drive

By Debbie Taylor

CommUniteam held a School Supply Drive for four weeks leading up to the start of the 2009/2010 school year. The drive benefited Girls, Inc. and provided each girl with a fully loaded backpack just in time for the first day of school. Renee McInnis, director of Girls, Inc., awarded the backpacks during their August 14 end of summer cookout. First Unity’s participation in this drive was unprecedented! Thank you to everyone who donated to the supply drive; your contributions are deeply appreciated.

Spreading Our Wings A bookstore is no longer just a bookstore, have you noticed? Gone are the days of the rows upon rows of paper spines and colorful jackets spouting titles and authors. Those stores are fading into the past, and if you find one, it’s a nostalgic experience.

Wings Bookstore at First Unity has been “more than a bookstore” for the 12 years that I have been associated with it. In addition to the typical music CDs, the greeting cards, and the coffee (yes, isn’t it fun that coffee bars are part Sharon Jebens, of bookstores these days?), Wings is becoming Bookstore Manager known for another avenue. Wings spreads the word with experiences.

Lectures, workshops, movies, classes…each one an offering to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

Speaking of the coffee bar, our own Andi Schenbeck is now wearing another hat…she is scheduling our activities and events at Wings. Keep your eyes open for inspirational Friday nights and Saturdays, especially. Andi has been busy arranging all sorts of opportunities for us!

First is a concert with r ews fo our eN r fo ! p Deva Premal and Miten re u ...sign and mo events -to-date to be held on September Stay up ls, upcoming specia 19, followed by an intimate workshop experience September 20. Their concert brings us into a new paradigm in the events world; we will be hosting it at Mahaffey Theater in Downtown St. Pete. Wow – talk about expansion!

Spiritual master Panache Desai joins us October 2 & 3 to share the gift of the Christ energy. The light he transmits through him opens you to experience profound peace, joy and love. Join us with Panache for an experience unlike any other to accelerate your journey to Christ Consciousness.

Dr. Masaru Emoto, the famous water crystal scientist from Japan, will be visiting us for an event on the evening of October 21 to share more insights with regard to his ongoing research.

And in November, you'll want to check out our upcoming three-day arts festival with Alex Grey; more information is on the next page. A limited number of tickets to all of these events are on sale now.

Want to learn more and stay current with the other events at Wings? There’s an easy way to have it right at your fingertips! Wings Bookstore has its own website, and we are blessed with a communications staff here at First Unity who keeps it up-to-date with everything that’s going on. Because Spirit often presents us with a guest presentation or DVD opportunity at the last minute, we sometimes miss the printed calendars.

It’s easy to visit www.WingsBookstore.com and click “events.” And don’t forget to sign up for our free e-newsletter on the homepage. You’ll get the latest information on events, special sales, and news on alternate Tuesdays.

In doing so, we will also review many of our foundational Unity principles. Our working knowledge of truth principles will then be put into practical application in our own lives.

Faustine Judd has a BA in social science. During the past 20 years, she has participated in and facilitated workshops, classes and groups to change and improve an individual’s life. Her goal is to facilitate lasting changes in lives. “Doing” creates new neural paths and leads to true life changes!

The Dances of Universal Peace founded in the latter 1960s are simple multicultural circle dances from many of the world’s traditions. The inspiration of the dances is to promote understanding and unity of religious ideals. Join the circle of dancers! $10 suggested love offering.

spiritual Education Program

Prosperity-Today, Tomorrow and Beyond!

Facilitator: Rev. Russell Heiland Thursdays, October 1 – October 29, 1:30 pm & 7pm Location: Rm #300 Are you ready for an exciting challenge? This version of the classic Unity course, Prosperity, will invite you to engage the thoughts and ideas of two of Unity’s greatest teachers and metaphysicians, Charles Fillmore and Eric Butterworth. Although Fillmore’s and Butterworth’s perspectives sometimes differ, you’ll discern how their ideas complement each other and lead you into a greater understanding and demonstration of prosperity in the fullest sense of the word.

If you are willing to let go of thoughts and beliefs that may be holding you back from demonstrating true prosperity, and if you are willing not only to study but to put into practice the ideas you learn in this course, you will be blessed with a consciousness of abundance that will grace every area of your life. This class is offered with day and evening sections. The content of both sections will be the same.

Required texts: Prosperity by Charles Fillmore and Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth both available at Wings Bookstore.

Suggested love offering $15 per class. To receive credit in Unity Institute’s Spiritual Education and Enrichment program there is an additional $36 registration fee.

Christian Scriptures. In this five-week study, we will explore the Scriptures and the steps to discover the secret of success as a way of life that has brought hope and spiritual rebirth to people in need when all else had failed. Suggested love offering $10 per class.

Fred Baldwin, a native of Syracuse, NY, graduated Georgetown University 1968 and served in the US Navy 1968-71. He graduated from Episcopal Divinity School with a Masters of Divinity degree in 1972 and was ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1976. He served in parishes in New York City and New Jersey 1976-2006. He retired to the Bay area in 2006.

Each class has a suggested love offering given as a guideline; please give as you are guided. Each teacher, the church, and this program is supported through your generous love offerings. Payment for classes can be made in advance at the church or at the door. Cash, check and credit cards accepted.

QiGong shoes are nice and can be purchased from any martial arts store.

A yoga mat or blanket may be required at times. Suggested love offering is $10 per class.
