NEW MEMBERS class starting – at Unity in the Woods..
Here’s some suggestions for what we can do:
Day 1 – Have everyone do an exercise on the major events of their spiritual journey. (Toni can lead this) –Sharing – If the group is too large (hopefully), we can put them in smaller groups.
Begin a brief explanation of New Thought history – Toni (Allan and Dorothy Ann as well)
Followed by brief film on Unity
Day 2 – Dorothy Ann to lead a presentation and discussion on basic Unity Principles
Day 3 – Allan – talk about the history of Unity Church in the Woods and begin to explore a new vision for the future. What does it mean to be a MEMBER?
Have participants look at ways they can get involved in their own growth as well as the growth of the Church – eg. Outreach programs; small groups, etc.
Talk about financial commitment as well
In Church on Sunday – have a NEW MEMBERS Celebration – give out certificates
During the weeks that follow, Dorothy Ann will hold a class on putting the Principles into Practice.
We also thought it might be a good idea to change the theme for January to
Universal Spiritual Principles – so we can be sure to cover the ‘basics’
