We are still in need of two volunteer teachers for children from 5 to 10 years of age. As a teacher, you should be able to teach twice a month during the 10:30 am service. No experience necessary: Unity will provide the curriculum and appropriate training. Julia Meyers, youth education director, also will be present (and teaching) on most Sundays.

There will be a preliminary meeting for all possible future teachers at Unity of Madison on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. Please join this meeting if you are interested in teaching to learn more about this rewarding volunteer opportunity or contact Julia at juliameyers@unityofmadison.org.

Trish Kalhagen will lead a Labyrinth Workshop Experience on Wednesday, Sept. 8 from 6:30-9 pm in the Unity sanctuary. Come and learn about the labyrinth, then walk this beautiful form of prayer and meditation.

The labyrinth can be a new way to listen and receive. Some may choose to repeat a phrase or a prayer or breathe in silence. You will learn that you have many options to use this form of prayer. The “correct” way is YOUR way. It is your journey. In a maze you lose yourself, in a labyrinth you find yourself. This form of walking is a tool to guide healing, deepen self-knowledge, and empower creativity. Trish Kalhagen is a Spiritual Director/Reiki Practitioner of Sacred Moments in Edgerton. The cost is a free–will donation.

If you are planning on coming to the World Day of Prayer here at Unity, this event would be a wonderful way to enter in to this time of prayer. You are welcome to join us for this moment in time as we prepare for the World Day of Prayer.

In a family directed funeral, family members take on the responsibility to bathe and dress the deceased. They obtain and complete the formal paper work such as the death notice and permit to transfer. They write the obituary and create whatever type of memory card or program they desire. They build or purchase a homemade casket. They work with whomever they want to create a meaningful way to honor and celebrate the loved one’s life. They escort the deceased to the final resting area — all as a final act of love.

Detailed information about this concept will be presented by Fran Vandre and Sue Rheingans of Personal Farewells in a 6-hour workshop to be held Saturday, Sept. 18 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

Cost for the workshop is $75 per participant, and deadline for registration is Sept. 12. A minimum of 6 participants is required for the workshop to be held.

You are in no way committing to anything by attending either of these events. For information, visit PersonalFarewells.com.

• Sept. 12 & 26 (2nd & 4th Sunday)

Reminders:

• The event will be on the lawn (or hospitality in case of rain).
• Set up from 9-9:30 am, so that we are ready for people coming out after the first service. Customers might browse before the 10:30 service.
• If selling, you will be 100% responsible for your own table.
• Please bring your own table, or Unity has extras.
• Bring money for making change and paper bags for customers.
• A love offering is requested as a donation to Unity of Madison – 10% of proceeds is suggested.
