A supply of untapped spiritual potential lies within us all.

The Power for April is "Love."
Qualities - The ability to attract, unify, and desire. I affirm: I am a radiating center of love. Disciple represented is John. Color is pink. Resides at back of the heart. - Learn more at www.unity.org/12powers - Charles Fillmore's classic book The Twelve Powers is available in our bookstore or at unity.org. - Awaken the 12 Powers in You with a boxed-set of 48 Power Cards available from Unity Books. - Order from unity.org/powercards Limited Re-openings of the church:

WE NEED YOU!!!
The church landscape isn’t looking much good these days.
We’re looking at overgrown shrubs, out-of-control vines and weeds, limbs and yard trash piles, and you name it. So, this means that we need you, as we always have. That’s right: WE NEED YOU!!! Without you, nothing will change
WORK PARTIES ARE SCHEDULED for April 17, April 24, and May 1, if needed, from 9:00am-1:00pm.
Come for one Saturday or all of them, and come and go as you are able. The church has tools so there is no need to bring them unless you have some favorites you want to use. But bring gloves if you are able.
If you have questions, please contact Steve Greenough, at (352) 415-5728.
