FINDING UNITY – Sunday to Sunday Congregation Beth Shalom (CBS) Temple B'nai Israel (TBI)
April 30 - TBI
May 7 - CBS
May 14 - CBS
May 21 - TBI
May 28 - CBS
As for the month of June, well, Sunday plans will depend on whether or not the Discovery Academy Cafeteria (our former sanctuary) is remodeled for our use on Sundays. If the space isn't ready for us by the end of May, we will turn to our dear friends at CBS and TBI, hoping that between the two of them, they may be able to host us during June.
Keep checking our eNews for updates!
Love always, thankful for you,
Leddy! |

Unity Construction Update:
This week, the site work began on the "Peace Property!" The Peace Cottage is already being removed and we're grateful for all the great memories we've shared there. We give thanks in advance for the new beginnings that await us in our new Church home. As always, we'll keep you posted as the process unfolds.
We are deeply grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition. We are glad to welcome new friends on Sundays at Beth Shalom and B'nai Israel!
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it!
Love and light, Leddy and all our UCC Family!

| This Sunday: Judy Tafelski - Welcoming the Stranger |
|
Lyrics to “See Myself in You” by Tom Prasado-Rao and Tom Kimmel:
“If I met you on the corner, would I know you as you are?
Would I take you for a stranger and brush past you in the door?
If you called me, would I hear you? Would I walk away too soon?
If I lingered for a moment, would I see myself in you?
If you held me like my brother, would I see myself in you? ….
If you called me, would I hear you? Do I know what I would do? ….
If you held me like my mother, would I see myself in you?” |

|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“By the might of your arm … while your people, LORD, passed over. You
brought them in” (Exodus 15:11).
I know that You are here with me. I know that You will part this sea. |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

with The Rev Judy Tafelski

Tuesdays

Eric
Butterworth's inspiring tour de force, the author shares the greatest
discovery of all time: the ability to see the divine within us all.
Jesus saw this divine dimension in every human being, and Butterworth
reveals this hidden and untapped resource to be a source of limitless
abundance. Exploring this "depth potential," Butterworth outlines ways
in which we can release the power locked within us for better health,
greater confidence, increased success, and inspired openness to let our
"light shine" forth for others.
All Are Welcome!

wonderful book ... truly a life-changer, as many readers know. This
book really does release the power within us all." -- Norman Vincent

Wednesday Evening "Faith Lift" Meditation Service with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
Wednesdays
7:00 PM Livestream Only
Prayer is the foundation of the Unity movement and of Unity Church of Clearwater.
The Wednesday evening service features guided meditation, music, silence, and prayer.
Meditation
is the process of listening to the “still, small voice” of God within
us. Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought and
includes the release of negative thinking as well as holding in mind
statements of spiritual Truth. The contemplative nature of entering into
the silence allows people of like mind to share the power of sitting in
the silence together.
We invite you to join us! This is an
opportunity to raise the consciousness of oneness that is at the core of
our Unity teachings.
Let us lift our consciousness to new heights through prayer and meditation, and help heal ourselves and our world!

“I Behold the Christ in You is a very effective first step in learning to love those people you find it difficult to love. When, for example, you feel hurt because of what another person has said or not said, done or not done, responding to that hurt by praying every verse of the prayer with as much positive energy as you can muster is guaranteed to help you lift your own spirits and consciousness. It may very well, also, lift the spirits of the one for whom you pray it” (Unity Minister, The Rev. Tom Thorpe). |

“I BEHOLD THE CHRIST IN YOU, I CAN SEE THAT PERFECT ONE; LED BY GOD IN ALL YOU DO, I CAN SEE GOD'S WORK IS DONE” (FRANK B. WHITNEY, FIRST EDITOR OF DAILY WORD MAGAZINE, 1924).
