TODAY’S EVENTS
Welcome to Unity! Christ is exalted as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we have come to worship Him today! You are invited to enter into this place with praise and thanksgiving for the great things He has done!
Worship is an expression of the heart! Each heart is uniquely and wonderfully different. Worship the Lord from your heart and let the expression of your heart pour forth as you feel led.
On this day set aside to remember the gift of life, gives thanks for this life you have today. Pray for the day when all babies will be granted the right and privilege of seeing the light of day and the aged granted to see the fullness of their days.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES AT UNITY
Missing a Missionary?
If you check the back of our bulletin to see the names of the missionaries we support, you may notice that the list is slightly shorter than last week. As of the beginning of 2006, we have finished our support for Laci & Nina Bortos and their ministry with D.O.O.R. The base in Hungary was disbanded and all the personnel from D.O.O.R. are in the process of relocating. And although we feel that D.O.O.R. is an excellent ministry to the deaf people of Europe, the Missions Team has chosen not to extend our support to the ministry. The $100 that was sent to the Bortos each month is being given to Bob Dykstra, who is ministering with YWAM on a Wisconsin reservation. Bob sends a special "Thank You" to the congregation.
Adopt-A-Missionary
Thank you to Gene & Louise Troyer and Harris & Connie Duininck who "adopted" the Bortos family over the past two years by praying for them. D.O.O.R. and the Bortos appreciated the support of our church with money and with prayer. If anyone is interested in adopting one of our other missionary families, please contact Sarah Brouwer.
