March ... a focus on Non Violence ... how YOU can live Non Violently every day
Movie Nights

A Force More Powerful: Part 1- March 7th 7-9 p.m.

A Force More Powerful: Part 1 - In the 1930s, Gandhi led a campaign of civil disobedience to loosen Britain's hold on power. Nonviolent weapons were taken up by black college students in the '60s who desegregated Nashville and created a model for the Civil Rights movement. In 1985, Mkhuseli Jack led a nonviolent consumer boycott in South Africa which awakened whites to black grievances and weakened business support for apartheid. Join us to view this powerful film followed by a discussion asking what we learned from the film that we can use in our everyday life to promote nonviolence.

Wed. March 21st - Open Mike Night For Peace

This is a night where participants may express themselves on an open mike through song, music, spoken word and poetry to bring forth the vibration of peace. Everyone is welcome. A love offering will be taken and shared with Open Closet (OC). Open Closet is a social support group for youth between 14 and 18 years of age who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, two-spirited, queer and questioning their sexual orientation (LGBT2Q). The group started in early 2002 and has served approximately 1,100 youth. OC is open to youth from each of the six counties we serve - Perth, Huron, Lambton, Elgin, Middlesex and Oxford. The group learns and has discussions about issues such as coming out to parents and friends, queer identities, LGBT2Q history, survival strategies, accessing community, safer sex and healthy and unhealthy relationships. Some of their Goals are: To create a safe space for youth to participate in discussions and receive support while dealing with matters related to sexual orientation/identity; to offer an opportunity for youth to connect with one another as a community; to engage in semistructured activities that promote self-awareness, respect, selfesteem and self-confidence; to educate youth about the impact of internalized homophobia, hate of self and others.

A Force More Powerful : Part 2 - March 14th 7-9 p.m.

A Force More Powerful: Part 2 - In April 1940, German military forces used "resistance disguised as collaboration"to defy Nazi Occupation and rescue Denmark's 7,000 thousand Jews. In 1980, striking workers in Poland demanded independent unions in defiance of the Community Party. In 1983, Chilean workers initiated a wave of nonviolent protests against -- and eventually to defeat -- the military dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Join us to view this powerful film followed by a discussion asking what we learned from the film that we can use in our everyday life to promote non-violence.

president Wilda Thomas, has done a wonderful job this year. Im guessing they would say it hasnt been easy, but it has lived up to the idea that board membership is a ministry of spiritual growth. We live in a time where countries are experiencing financial downturns and many people have lost their jobs. And yet, when I think about how this has affected our Unity church, I know I can go to a place of fear and lack OR I can go to a place of appreciation. Living our Principles calls

we would create together! When we appreciate something it expands and grows and we see more of it. I believe thats a powerful way for all of us and for Unity of London to March forth and demonstrate that what Jesus taught works. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will be added unto you. In other words seek first the right consciousness a consciousness of appreciation and all else will be added unto us.

us all to remember that what we focus on expands. An easy example would be when I bought my red Toyota RAV. Everywhere I drove I saw red Toyota RAVs and RAVs of all colours. Why? Werent they there before? Why did I notice them now? Of course they were always there, but I saw them now because I was focusing on that particular vehicle. What you focus on expands. There is a process called Appreciative Inquiry and

we may invite you into that process in the future. But, until then, you can do it at home too. Take some time to think about Unity of London and of at least three things you love about it. Write them down, post the note somewhere and keep focusing on that good. For instance, if you love the people here, and who wouldnt, you might focus on our numbers at service growing; or focus on the lives that are transformed and well see more of that. If we all focus on what we appreciate, imagine the power

The Presidents Report

... with Wilda Thomas

Despite apparent lack, I am a prosperity shaper

As I read the paper, listen to the local news and watch the news on CBC I have to admit that I am concerned and sometimes fearful for my own future as a self-employed, single woman. So what is the answer? The late Unity Minister, Eric Butterworth, said in his book Spiritual Economics,The Principles and Process of True Prosperity: We live in a house of consciousness and a lot of things go on out there in the world. The most prominent window is the TV screen. As you listen to (actually witness) the news, you are presented with a skillfully produced picture of a world of crime and poverty and economic flux. What am I saying, that we shouldnt watch the news? Not at all. One may want, even need, to be informed. Just keep in mind that what you are seeing is the appearance of things. The important Truth is that if you are manipulated by the news, then you become a part of the worlds problems; but if you look out the window of Truth and project a fountain of light and love, then you are a part of the solution. You become a peacemaker and a prosperity shaper. The secret of achieving prosperity lies in so vividly keeping yourself centered in the inner focus of affluence that you literally exude the consciousness of it. As the Board moves closer to the Unity of London Annual General Meeting on March 4 one of the things that we work on is establishing the budget for the upcoming year. This is a challenge because the fact is our revenue has declined for the past three years, but another fact is that after a loss of $16,194 in 2009, we achieved a modest profit in 2010 of $395 and a bigger profit of $4,207 in 2011. Examples of prosperity Is Unity of London prosperous? As you look around on Sunday mornings and see everyone arriving being greeted warmly with a big hug at the front door; when you see the joy with people moving, clapping and singing; when you hear Rev Loris inspirational talks; when you see the shining faces of our children; when you hear the laughter in the Fellowship Room, and when you look around and see all the people who contribute to making our community run smoothly through the volunteering of their time, talent and treasure, you absolutely have to say, We are prosperous! And what I know for sure is that God is good and like the flowers in the field, I have been taken care of my whole life. God is not changing and I am a prosperity shaper.

ho in this community cannot empathize with the 460 ElectroMotive employees who have recently lost their jobs here in London when Caterpillar decided to close the plant and move the jobs to the States? My heart goes out to those families who depend on those pay cheques for their mortgages, to feed their families and to live their lives. It is especially difficult when you consider that the unemployment rate in London is higher at 9% than the Ontario average of 8.1% and those high paying manufacturing jobs are few and far between. And I dont know about you, but the word about the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) being changed, is a concern for me, as I move closer not to Free-

dom 55 but possibly Freedom 65 or 70. I heard on the news that the CPP used to have seven people supporting one retiree, but as the baby boomers move into the system there may be only two people supporting each retired person. How will that work?

s there a difference between gratitude and appreciation and, if so, what would it be? This question came up during a recent conversation, so I decided to go on a fact-finding expedition.

Gandhis Peace Prayers from World Religions

Editors note: The Season for Non-Violence will end officially April 4; however, we feel that the reasons for its existence, and the work that was done by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. to promote world peace, are worthy of honouring all year round. So, we would like to share these prayers so that you can carry a prayer of peace with you throughout the coming months. Christian Peace Prayer Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be known as the children of God. But I say to you: love your enemy, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also; And from those who take away your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well. Give to everyone who begs from you; And, to those who take away your goods, do not ask them again. And as you wish that others would do unto you, do so unto them as well. Hindu Peace Prayer I desire neither earthly kingdom, nor paradise; not even freedom from birth and death. I desire only the deliverance from grief of those afflicted by misery. Oh Lord, lead us from the unreal to the real; from darkness to light; from death to immortality. May there be peace in celestial regions. May there be peace on earth. May the waters be appeasing. May herbs be wholesome and may trees and plants bring peace to all. May all beneficient beings bring peace to us. May their wisdom spread peace all through the world. May all things be a source of peace to all and to me. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. (Peace, Peace, Peace) Native American Peace Prayer O Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you. To your messengers the four winds, and to the Mother Earth who provides for your children. Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace in mind. Let us learn to share all the good things that you provide for us on this earth. Shinto Peace Prayer Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us are all our brothers and sisters, who, Oh Lord, is there trouble in this world? Why do the winds and the waves rise in the ocean surrounding us? I earnestly wish that the wind will soon blow away all the clouds hanging over the tops of the mountains. To read the rest of the prayers from other religions, see the Unity International website at http://www.unity. org/resources/articles/ gandhis-peace-prayersworld-religions

Unitys first Weekend Retreat a HUGE success!

Our first retreat had 14 registrants. We gathered at the Michaelite House near London and spent a wonderful, inspiring and heart-opening January 13-15 weekend discovering our power within. A number of hours were spent in silence, even eating together in silence; time for creative expression; meditation in the wonderful Meditation Room that was equipped with sand to write in and decks of angel cards - spiritual cards to reflect on. We plan to offer another retreat in late 2012 or 2013. Stay tuned and watch for details so you too can be blessed by a weekend away to focus on your spiritual growth. Here are some of the comments from those who participated: Creative room excellent: frames provided. I enjoyed the entire program from Friday evening until Sunday. It flowed well, enough free time so no feeling of being rushed. Good balance between free time and programmed time. Love the spirituality basis and Unity teaching, nice variety of activities that encourage going inward and ways to express the ideas, feelings that come up, a safe place to support above and beyond. Well organized with various activities. So well planned and organized: the best part was the freedom to do things the way I choose rather than being told how to do each activity. Thank you! The details were so well planned that relaxation and inner reflection resulted easily and effortlessly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Wednesday Program in April

4T Prosperity Program starts April 4, 2012

New and Revised!
Running from Wednesday April 4 2012 - 6-8 p.m. - for 12 weeks until June 20 PRE-COURSE INFO SESSION: Attendance is required at our pre-course information session to be held on Sunday March 11 at 12:15 p.m. You will see a video that explains the commitment this program requires for you to participate. February registrations will be carried over. The 12-week course requires a minimum of 10 people before the course can run. Our current beliefs about prosperity and selfworth have developed over our lifetime. If you want to experience the abundance the Universe has for you, new beliefs have to be created to replace the old ones. This course will help you look at what you do believe and ways to change those beliefs. This famous Unity prosperity program that helps people change their consciousness around prosperity is returning to Unity of London. The text has been updated and the audio CDs have been rerecorded. A new workbook completes the package. If youve taken the course before youll enjoy the revisions and new sound.

Read what some of our participants from last spring have written about the program:
I was able to change my fear and stress to peace and tranquility. I am now more grateful. I was given the opportunity to meet and get to know some truly incredible people. I now know the power of prayer. It has made me calmer and more positive.

WEDNESDAY PROGRAM Thanks to Pat Moauro, LUT who facilitated two classes on Metaphysics in January and February. These classes were offered for personal growth as well as for those who wish to receive credits in Unitys Spiritual Education and Enrichment Program (SEE). Credits are required for those interested in earning the Personal Development Certificate or becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher or Minister.

... with Pat Moauro, LUT

After the formal presentation and special ceremony with Rev. Lori, it didnt take long for me to get to work as a newly-minted LUT. I had the privilege and pleasure of conducting my first for credit class on Wednesday evenings in January - Metaphysics 1 Part 1, followed by Part 2 each Wednesday evening in February. We enjoyed highly interesting and thoughtprovoking discussions and dialogue during every class. The 2 to 2 1/2-hours for each class zipped by quickly as we delved into deeper metaphysical teachings underlying basic Unity beliefs. I know all of us benefited greatly from the material and the comments from each class participant. And, finally, to everyone who has been attending Unity services and events, whether for many years or just recently: Be assured that if you persevere and continue to look to the indwelling Christ presence, you will find what you are seeking. And so it is. Pat can be reached at patmor123@gmail.com

Warm thanks to all my Unity friends for your support

ometimes a long-term goal takes so long to reach that when it finally is completed, you may find it hard to believe. Thats how I felt recently after completing my longterm goal of becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT). I completed my final classes and testing to qualify as a LUT and received formal approval late last fall; however, it took almost two more months for my large wall certificate to arrive, to have it framed and to receive it during a formal presentation and ceremony at Unity of London January 22. Firstly, thank you to our loving, dedicated, minister here at Unity of London, Rev. Lori Hisson, a long-time friend who has consistently supported my spiritual journey, including my efforts to qualify as a LUT. Ive been blessed to have her support, encouragement and quiet assurance that I eventually would find what I was searching for, as she calmly reminded me to go within for the answers. Thanks Rev. Lori for being an angel in my life. Warm thanks, also, to all my friends, old and new, in Unity of London and the international Unity family who offered many kind, congratulatory comments in cards

and in person. These include Chuck and Suzanne Semple of St. Thomas, and Peter and Claudette Foy, London, who were all vactioning in Naples, Florida in January, for sending their thoughtful card and kind comments. All of your warm, loving and encouraging comments are much appreciated. Thank you Wilda Thomas for the great job you did on the 20-by-16 glassed frame for my LUT certificate (see photo at right and photo on page1), and, along with Rev. Lori, for presenting it to me during the January 22 ceremony.

biologists, and psychologists. What matters is not the isolated entity, but the space between things, the relationship of things. Written by international bestselling author Lynne McTaggart, The Bond is the culmination of her groundbreaking work. It offers a completely new, scientific story of life and the human experience; one that challenges the very way we conceive of ourselves and our world. The Bond shows that the essential impulse of all life is a will to connect rather than a drive to compete. McTaggart offers detailed recommendations to help foster more holistic thinking, more cooperative relationships, and more unified social groups. A simple daily practice conditions the brain; A new way of speaking and listening; People who fire together wire together: The brains of all parties begin to get on the same wavelength; Fairness is more powerful than unfairness.

The author shares the greatest discovery of all time: the ability to see the divine within us all. Butterworth reveals this hidden and untapped resource to be a source of limitless abundance. Exploring this "depth potential," Butterworth outlines ways in which we can release the power locked within us for better health, greater confidence, increased success, and inspired openness to let our "light shine" forth for others.

Easter Outreach For our Easter outreach we have contacted a local elementary school and asked them how we could support their Breakfast Program for the children. Watch for a list of items they would appreciate receiving. We will also have a guest from the program who comes and shares with us how the program benefits the the children.
