Thoughts From Our Minister
“A Sizzling Summer”
Dear Unity Family,
What is your favorite summer activity? Perhaps it is getting together with family and friends for a summer picnic, relaxing and reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or experiencing something new and different.
This July and August we have a variety of “sizzling summer activities” to entice you to participate with your Unity family - everything from an outdoor Sunday service/picnic at Memorial Lake to a Sound Healing Experience to the music of Frank Sinatra.
As you discover the opportunities within the pages of this newsletter, mark your calendars for a summer of fun, food for your soul, and fellowship!
Happy Summer!

PACC Blood Bank
Good Samaritan Hospital, Hershey Medical Center, Pinnacle Health Systems, Carlisle Regional
Hospital, Ephrata Community Hospital, Hanover Hospital and several other area hospitals.
What do they all have in common???
They are all served by the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank for their blood needs. Perhaps a loved one, a
neighbor or a friend was admitted to one of these medical facilities, and it is most likely they ….1 out of 7
do….received several units of life saving blood during their hospital stay. PACC … Palmyra-A Caring Community…
sponsors a local Blood Bank and Unity Church is a long time supporting PACC member. So if you are able and
willing to be a life saver with your blood, please consider joining the hundreds of your Palmyra area neighbors
that make a blood donation throughout the year. It’s easy and only takes about an hour of your time to be that
life saving neighbor. If you have questions, please contact Ron Fouche at 838-2569 or 838-6336 Extension106.
Thank you for your support and blood!!!

At some point, we all experience adversity in our lives.
The question is: how do we handle it?
In this inspirational workshop, Janet Rozzi, a featured author
in the book No Mistakes: How You Can Change Adversity into
Abundance, will discuss what happens when your world view
shifts, and you begin to live like everything that happens to
you is only for your highest good!
Do you feel stressed out, overwhelmed or frustrated right
now? Are you exhausted from overcommitting yourself?
Have you lost yourself in the role of parent or caregiver?
Perhaps you feel a bit numb, just going through the motions
and trying to keep up with daily life?
Join us to learn how to re-energize your spirit, do more of
what you love, get back into the flow of joy, and bring more
spiritual mojo into your life! Hardcover books will be avail-
able at $15.00 each, with $5.00 from each book donated to
the Unity Church of Palmyra. Book signing available after
the workshop.
