UCOL Serving

Serving

Unity Church of Lawrence is a dynamic, inspiring community of individuals committed to serving themselves and the world around them. We invite you to become a part of our community in service to one another and our world. We have many opportunities in which to serve.

In service, we realize our gifts and our limits. We grow together in service and, thus, have opportunities to minister to one another. See if one or more of our ministries speaks to you and your individual gifts and talents.

Check out our Opportunities to Serve and Outreach for current opportunities in the UCOL community.

Souls in Service

Jo Andersen is our December "Souls in Service".

Our December Soul in Service is Jo Andersen! If you have been around UCOL for any length of time I am sure you know her! Jo has been part of this spiritual community since the very beginning. She is my "history keeper" and has answers to any question I ask about our beautiful church. Jo has done it all over the years, but currently serves and Champion of the Grocery Certificates ministry and serves
in the office every Tuesday afternoon. She is that wonderful voice of UCOL that says "Unity of Lawrence, Jo speaking!" Give her a call and let her know how much we appreciate everything she has done and continues to do as a beloved member of our spiritual community.

Thank you Jo, for being our December light!

Jay Pryor is our November "Souls in Service".

Wow! What a gift to UCOL Jay is! He gave so much of his time, treasure and talent to the recent Keys to the Kingdom series, speaking on some of the Sundays, co-facilitating the class with Rev. Shan, and sending out that message of abundance and prosperity in all aspects of his life. Jay's skills as a personal and executive coach are evident as he guides us through the awareness of how wonderful our lives are. He really demonstrates the idea that "I am thrilled with the path my life is on!" Jessica Pryor shared that idea with us and we took it from there!

Thank you, Jay, for your generosity in all the ways you demonstrate it! You are indeed our Soul in Service!

Noah Benham is our October "Souls in Service".

Noah is one of our Youth of Unity members. He is active in the Y.O.U. events and activities and recently took the lead in obtaining auction items from all over town and preparing the Y.O.U. Silent Auction. We know that they will raise huge amounts to put toward Y.O.U. participation in rallies and other great events.

Noah serves the church as the Champion of the FaceBook Administration. Since doing so, our FaceBook page has never been more up to date and contacts are increasing because of it. Noah never hesitates to say "Yes!" when I ask him to help with something in the ministry. We are blessed to have Noah be such a big part of, not solely Y.O.U., but all aspects of our spiritual community!

Thank you, Noah, for all you do, your great attitude and your spiritual consciousness. You are a gift!

Cathy Moreland is our September "Souls in Service".

What does this sweet soul NOT do at the church? She has stepped in as the person who sends out our enews, completes the bulletins each week, helps in hospitality, is a greeter/usher if needed, and generally helps me keep things moving along and running ship shape! She sees to it that pretty much any aspect of the church gets done! Her bright smile and happy demeanor is a blessing to share with all who come in to UCOL! Please take the time when you see her to thank her for all she does for all of us. Cathy fully understands Prosperity Consciousness and shares her treasure, time and talent with us freely!

Thank you and God bless you, Cathy Moreland, UCOL September Soul in Service.

Nora McAfee is our June "Souls in Service".

Nora is co-champion of our Unity Book Store, vonunteers for the Grocery Ministry, is our Board of Trustees Vice President, offers her home for Dinner for 8, top notch Sound Booth Assistant and makes us laugh.

We love you, we appreciate you and we are so very happy you are shining for us!

Robbin Loomas, Y.O.U. Sponsor, is our May "Souls in Service".

We thak you, we honor you, and we praise you for your hard work and devotion to our Youth of Unity, Y.O.U. Robbin spends time monitoring Y.O.U. business meetings, overseeing events sponsored by our teens, providing transportation to and from Rallies, supervising and monitoring teen activities while at Rally, managing paperwork required for Y.O.U. activities, and so much more. As a former Y.O.U.er herself, she provides teens a safe space to explore their spirituality and their connections with one another and their world.

Cindy McElmurry, U.C.O.L. "Building Maintenance Ministry Champion", and Craig Daniels, Top Hand Member for "Building Maintenance Ministry", are our April "Souls in Service".

Cindy and Craig show up during the week to make repairs, do the changes you notice and are constantly and consistantly taking care of both the church and annex needs which in turn takes care of us. We are so grateful to you Cindy and Craig for your superior, professional service to maintenance. You are the quiet, seldom seen, very talented spirits performing outstanding sacred service for all of us to enjoy.

We honor you Cindy and Craig for April and for every month!

Pat Phillips, UCOL Community Outreach Champion, is our March "Soul in Service."

She is the unseen Unity goodwill pixie, quietly inspiring all to serve at L.I.N.K., recruiting us to give back packs for children and spring gift baskets to those in need. Truly one of the kindest souls in our church family, she posts big cardboard displays and sign up clip boards for each community event. Take a few minutes from your Sunday to personally say "thank you" to Pat. She serves and serves and keeps on serving in her most efficient and gracious manner.

Bless you Pat for your constant, considerate, sacred service!

Michele Kirk is February's "Souls in Service".

She has been the Champion of the Worship Ministry, completes the order of service, and organizes all the worship assistants and more each week to support Rev. Shannah and the spiritual community as a whole! She is always open and friendly in making changes and stepping up in service in any way she is called. She is the ultimate in representing the highest of loving and compassionate consciousness for UCOL!
