The group will meet from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Gathering Room of the Admin Building. For more information, please e-mail Kathy Kelcourse or call her at 770-579-3512.

Calling all gardeners ~ Give Peas a Chance!

We are entering a new age of unprecedented changes.  We are living an unsustainable lifestyle—our food is transported an average of 1,500 miles before it reaches your grocery store.

The Unity North organic garden will give you an opportunity to enjoy and benefit from the truly fresh organic harvest that will result.  This garden will also help to strengthen old friendships and develop new ones.  What a way to connect with Mother Earth and our church community!

If you are interested in joining the organic garden community, please call Debbie Raduka at 678-575-7803 or e-mail her at draduka1@bellsouth.net.

We are a vibrant wellness community that nurtures, inspires and educates people to optimal health, wholeness and well being.

Our purpose is to provide a fun, positive and supportive learning environment where everyone has the opportunity to create and enjoy a prosperous, healthy and lasting  lifestyle.

It is our intention and desire to offer a wide variety of exciting, enriching classes, workshops, activities and events that energize and inspire you to live fully, freely and fearlessly.

Our monthly meetings/activities may vary in time/day/location.

For more information about joining our awesome ministry, attending events, meetings, etc., please e-mail Jeanie Ward  or call her at 770-317-1954.

We are birthing a new and exciting ministry, and we thank you in advance for your interest and desire to grow along with us in wholeness, harmony and well being.  Namaste!

The purpose of the Animal Ministry is to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of animal lovers in our church setting and to provide service to God’s gift to humans.

While there will be times when participants may choose to partake of classes to the Animal Ministry such as training, healing, etc., the initial focus is to support animals through prayer, community and service projects.

Every third Thursday the animal ministry will be having a pet loss support group for those whose pets have transitioned.  We will meet at 7:00 pm in the admin building, first floor—turn right and go down the hall.  We would like to give support to all, by sharing thoughts, stories, pictures and memories.

Other intentions are:

• to assist shelters or others in need of pet food, etc.
• to reestablish the ‘ambassadog’ position
• to support owners as their beloved pets transition
• to provide effective, loving, and joyous support for all services to animals and their people companions
• to enjoy our time together by having fun, fun, fun . . .just like the animals teach us to do so well.

Alex the Ambassadog

We are collecting pictures of members’ pets (our Unipets), for the bulletin board.  Please email them to sueernst@yahoo.com and don’t forget to include the pet’s name.  Thank you!
