Dear <<First Name>>, 

Good beautiful day! Sophia and I just returned from a visit to Colorado where we were blessed to be with my daughter Terryn and her husband Erik, my daughter Alexandra, and my beautiful grandkids, Julien, Jocelyn, Mae and Zeke.  It was chaotic and loud and sweet and filled with the love of our family.  It was tough to leave and good to come home, and I find comfort in knowing and feeling the love that lives within me.   

This month, I'll be sharing a three-part series called Living in Love. It is based on the poems of Sufi poet Rumi. who has written volumes on love. This week we'll look at "Learning to Love."  Here is my inspiration:  "In your light I learn how to love.  In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” 

I warmly invite you into spiritual community as we use this series to open a new space in our hearts for  more love, more light as we dance with Spirit. 

Big love,
Rev. Jude

What Is A Unity Prayer Chaplain?  How Do They Pray? 
They are members of our church. Speaking Affirmative Prayer, they see 
the highest and best in any situation, regardless of its outer circumstances.

Prayer Chaplains 
Create and hold sacred space, knowing God is greater than…
            Listen from the heart 
            Hold what is heard in the strictest confidence 
            Maintain a daily prayer practice 

How Do Prayer Chaplains Serve? 
            They pray with congregants desiring prayer after Sunday service 
            They make monthly calls to active members offering prayers of
                         support, celebration and blessing
            They attend a mandatory annual training workshop and
                         a monthly, 2-hour meeting for support and fellowship 
            They commit to one year of service

No prior experience in praying with others is required. However, you must be an active, voting church member, who has completed Membership classes. 

Being a Prayer Chaplain is transformative soul work which deepens your spiritual path.  If this program resonates with you and feels like an opportunity you would like to explore further,

Happy birthday, all you February babies!


You’re so lucky to be sharing the shortest month of the
year with one of the sweetest holidays of all—Valentine’s
Day! As either a witty, intelligent, and strong-willed
Aquarius (Feb 1-18) or a compassionate, insightful,
and creative Pisces (Feb 19-29), you’ve got some
of the best qualities around.

 

Here are some February birthday fun facts you might find especially interesting

  • There are two zodiac signs that are associated with the month of February. People who are born from January 20 to February 18 are Aquarians, while Pisces are born from February 19 to March 20. Aquarius is an air element whose symbol is the water-bearer. It is represented by a mythical carrying an urn of water, or sometimes, just water flowing. Those born under Aquarius are said to be forward thinking individuals who want to affect positive change for the collective good.
  • Pisces is a water sign whose symbol is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. Pisces are deeply intuitive and overly sensitive.
  • Amethyst is the birthstone of February. A member of the quartz family, it is known for its vibrant purple color.  Amethysts are said to provide a variety of benefits, including increased mental clarity, a balanced metabolism and greater intuition. 

  • February’s first birth flower is the violet. Violets are dainty flowers which typically grow to be a few inches tall. Traditionally purple in color, violets can now be found white and yellow as well. The second birth flower of February is the primrose. Primroses are among the first flowers to appear in spring. Usually a creamy yellow in color, they may also be found in pinks and purples.
  • An impressive roster of famous people were born in February! These iconic household names include: Harry Styles (2/1), Shakira (2/2), Jennifer Aniston (2/11), Drew Barrymore (2/22), Sheryl Crow (2/11), James Dean (2/8), Charles Dickens (2/7), Michael Bolton (2/26), Thomas Edison (2/11), Michael Jordan (2/17), Norman Rockwell (2/3), Babe Ruth (2/6), John Steinbeck (2/27), and John Travolta (2/18).

We hope you have a great birthday!
