Free Concert for Tent City

March 23, 2012 by admin

Come celebrate Easter and the Re-birth of Spring and Hope

FREE Concert for Tent City

Sunday, April 8, 2012
3 pm – 5 pm
Town Square, Lakewood, NJ
(corner of 4th and Clifton)

 

Unity by the Shore has lent support to this event, which features our talented members Rosemary Conte and sons Steve and John; our music director, Laura DuBois; our resident angel of gospel Gwendolyn Lewis; and singer/songwriter Jeanne O’Neill.  Many popular Jersey Shore artists will also be featured in jazz, blues, rock, pop and inspirational music.

 

After spending time at the homeless encampment in the woods of Lakewood known as Tent City, Rosemary Conte felt compelled to organize a free event to bring live music to everyone—especially to people who have fallen on hard times and can’t afford to buy concert tickets or frequent clubs to hear music that can feed the spirit. And it’s important that the issue of homelessness garners more attention. Tent City is the home of people who have been let down by society and our government. Tent City is celebrated in this concert as a place where people have found a way to survive in an alternative community in the woods, ministered to by Rev. Steve Brigham. Rev. Steve lives in a school bus among the homeless war veterans, and others who have lost their jobs, their homes and otherwise can’t afford to live in the mainstream.
Please come and bring a lawn chair…it will be a warm and sunny day.

Easter 2012

March 23, 2012 by admin

Dear Friends,

“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world”   (1 John4:4)

This message is being shared with you on the first day of Lent. What does Lent mean for you? If you came from a traditional religious background, you might have had ashes placed on your forehead. You may have refrained from eating favorite foods, sweets, or participating in your customary pleasurable activities and return to them on Easter Sunday. However, in Unity we understand the season of Lent from a deeper perspective.

As Charles Fillmore, Co-founder of Unity said “Lent is a season of spiritual growth, a time for progressive unfoldment. When we can blend and merge our mind with God-Mind, the way is open for the Lord to glorify us and lift us into a higher, purer, more spiritual state. The question you may have – “how do I get lifted into a purer, more spiritual state?” Each time you become aware of your thoughts and realize that you are being mesmerized by outer facts and overcome by their seeming power, pray and come back to the Truth that your identity is Divine.

Lent is a holy, sacred time – the number 40 days metaphysically is interpreted as “exactly the right amount of time” and for you to enter into a new contract with yourself – to prepare your own rising. It is the opportunity to start anew on your spiritual journey – moment by moment to have mastery over thoughts. Your “rising” into spiritual awareness is hightened with prayer, study and meditation. In addition, I suggest creating a new vision with a new spiritual practice. Write a gratitude list, tithe your time, talent or treasure. Feed your soul by creating an altar; play peace-filled music; light a candle or chant your favorite affirmations. You will no longer want to be pushed by pain but pulled by the vision of your True Identity – the Christ!

HAVE A BLESSED EASTER!

With Love,
Rev. Joanne

“How To Pray Without Talking To God” by Linda Martella-Whitsett

March 23, 2012 by admin

“HOW TO PRAY WITHOUT TALKING TO GOD”

by Linda Martella-Whitsett

Taught by Rev. Joanne

Thursdays from 1-3 pm

March 29, – May 24, 2012

 

Do you struggle over daily prayer?

Are the reasons because you can’t dedicate the time, can’t sit still, or don’t find any benefit from daily prayer?

If you experience these common obstacles to daily prayer practice, i.e. time restraints, restlessness and misguided expectation, join us to learn a step-by-step way to have a more meaningful connection with the Absolute.

 

“Prayer is the most effective method of renewal and transformation, because in prayer (we) associate with God and not with the problem.”  – Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity

A Not So Still Life

February 1, 2012 by admin

Join Us for Movie Night, Friday at  7 PM

March 9, 2012 – A Not So Still Life – The Ginny Ruffner Story

Ginny Ruffner, can’t be summed up in one word, but the most commonly used term is “inspiring”.   A world-renown artist at the age of 39, she was involved in a near-fatal car accident, which left her in a coma for five weeks and confined to a hospital for five months. Doctors were convinced that she would never walk or talk again, but true to her indomitable spirit, Ginny Ruffner transformed a potentially tragic accident into a career of even more imaginative creations. From pop-up books, to room-sized installation pieces, to public works, Ruffner’s art has blossomed and continues to expand.
