“Intention is the starting point of every dream. It is the creative power that fulfills all of our needs, whether for money, relationships, spiritual awakening, or love. Everything that happens in the universe begins with intention.” – Deepak Chopra —
After many of us on the Board, the search Committee and other committees or positions set the intention that our perfect minister is on the way to USCVB at the perfect time, the Board decided to prepare for our new minister with a Minister’s Fund Campaign of $40,000 or more by March 2022, which we announced last Sunday, September 26.
Even before our Vice President, Marty Mehalko, announced our new campaign, Board members were pledging to kick off and “prime the pump” with a total of six thousand dollars. Barbara Brooks, Barbara Petrillo, Joan Weeks, Marty Mehalko, Laura Lane, Patti Carlson and myself studied The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price in January and decided then that in these challenging times we must, on behalf of our spiritual community, be clear that we are one with the Source of our Abundance.
Rumi said, “The Source is within you, And this whole world is springing up from it. The Source is full, And its waters are ever-flowing. Do not grieve, drink your fill. Don’t think it will ever run dry, this endless ocean.”
Please join us in growing our Unity ministry by providing for our spiritual leader who will lead us in this time of transformation. Give as generously as you can – specify “Minister’s Fund” on your check or online giving memo line. Whether you give four, forty, four hundred, four thousand, forty thousand dollars (or more), the activity of intention plus attention with belief creates an ENERGY of FLOW of manifestation. We believe that whatever one gives, it returns multiplied and blessed.
Feel the energy of joining us now in Intention, Love and Gratitude!
