This Sunday @ UCC:
Happy New You - Leddy Hammock
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “If You Want To Be Happy” (Words and music by Sloan Wainwright, Sue Riley, Jana Stanfield):
“Don’t believe all that you think – if you want to be happy.”
“If you want to be happy, be careful what you say.
Resist the urge to criticize when things don't go your way.
You can't make yourself feel better putting other people down.
Remember words can hurt you when they come back around.”
“Focus on the things you have, not what you haven't got – if you want to be happy.”
“Give up control.” “Trust the Mystery – if you want to be happy.” |

Tue, Jan 9
12:00 PM
Café
All are welcome to our popular, annual “Treasure Mapping” class.
This annual gathering is a great opportunity to begin the new year by visualizing the things you want to manifest in your life.
A treasure map pictures what we want. It has been called “pictured prayer.” Just as a road map indicates the way to a planned destination, a treasure map helps us get what we desire – healing, supply, a job, possessions, happiness. Physically, it is a piece of paper on which we have placed pictures of what we want with statements of faith. …
We think, and we form our world after the pattern of our thinking. A map helps us think right so that we can and do create what we want to experience. It keeps us close to God. It reminds us every time we look at it that we are one with God. … This is the wonderful part of treasure mapping.
What Should you Bring?
We’ll supply everything you need to create your treasure map, but we’ll gratefully receive any magazines you might wish to donate. Magazines and catalogs with lots of pictures are preferable
In preparation for the treasure mapping we would be grateful for any used magazines you can share with us. They can be dropped off during the week or on Sundays. |

| | | | January Heart of the House - Frank Bowman
|
|  |
The voice of UCC via sax and clarinet, Frank Bowman originally planned to be a band director. After two and a half years of college studies “making me hate my favorite thing,” Frank changed his major and graduated from the University of South Florida with degrees in Anthropology and Social Psychology, which earned his entry to a 42-year career working with the underprivileged in low income neighborhoods. All the while, he continued to pursue his passion for music and performing that was rooted in his childhood and could not be stifled.
Born on Long Island and moving at the age of 8 to St. Petersburg, Frank was continuously exposed to live music. His mother always listened to old songs on the radio, and a baby grand was ever-present. His grandfather played trombone in a band in the 1920s and 30s. Frank sang with the St. Petersburg Boys Choir from the age of 9 until his voice changed at age 12. He started playing clarinet in the 6th grade, adding the saxophone at Dixie Hollins High School, where he played in concert and stage bands and was the principal clarinetist in the Pinellas Youth Symphony. In 1981, he began playing with popular local bands. An original member of the “Tom Kats” 18-piece band, he performed with the international blues legend “Rock Bottom” and award-winning blues guitarist Molten Mike with whom he played and recorded for over 20 years.

AN EXPANSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
“Richard Lynch [Unity author] has written: ‘An expansion of consciousness results from the grace of giving in the right spirit. We all have seen instances of shriveled souls, directly due to financial grasping and withholding. Physical inharmony . . . often results from this state of mind . . . . The popular mind doubts that prosperity will come through giving up a tithe of all financial receipts. I should like to call attention to this actuality: The world’s richest man [Rockefeller, at one time – told] us that he willingly [tithed] his income, which, you may imagine, [was] no small amount of money. He [considered] it one of the greatest blessings of life that he was taught, when a lad of eight years and earning only ten cents a day, to give away regularly a portion of his income to purposes of public and religious character.’”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
I GIVE GENEROUSLY, FOR I HAVE A RICH CONSCIOUSNESS.
THANK YOU, GOD!
