Meat Donations for School Lunch Program: Unity is seeking beef and pork donations from local farmers to support our school lunch program. Unity will cover all processing fees. If you are interested in making a donation, please contact Wayne Dykstra at wdykstra@unitychristian.net.

Mom’s In Prayer: Did you know that Unity has an active Moms in Prayer group that meets every Tuesday (when school is in session) at Unity? We invite you to join us in praying for our school - staff, students, families and more. 

We know that we "are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." (Eph 6:12) I think most of us can agree and even sense that the "enemy" is a "roaring lion" seeking to devour and destroy the unsuspecting, the innocent, our children/families and more. Our prayer group enjoys the privilege of praying the power and protection of God over Unity, and we're reminded each week that "our work is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Cor 15:58).  We pray over each staff member and student multiple times each school year.  Every week, we focus on a different attribute of God to praise Him for, which gives us such encouragement as we present our requests to Him. 

So, we invite moms/grandmas to join us on Tuesdays (12-1pm) in the "Officials' room" across from Mr. Van Kempen's office. 

We also invite ANYONE to join us in prayer at home. You can request a prayer sheet via email. Candi will send a brief description of the attribute of God that we're focusing on, which can be so encouraging when we're facing various struggles/battles in our lives.  So, you can be encouraged to say a brief prayer for Unity or whatever struggle you are facing.  

Even if you don't open up the prayer sheet link, if you just read through the weekly description and pray for Unity at that moment, what a mighty army of prayer warriors will be raised up for our community! Here's what we focused on last week at MIP. Hope you will join us in prayer!

Contact: Candi TeKrony at canditekrony@gmail.com to request a prayer sheet or any questions.
