| Construction Update . . . |
|
|
Construction fencing is being installed around the entire property this week! For the time being we will only have access to the east entrance and east parking lot on Sundays.
As construction moves along the parking may shift to another area. We're unsure if that will happen early in the project or later, but we'll endeavor to keep you up to date here in our eNews and with announcements on Sundays.
Also, in the coming weeks we'll be seeing several trees coming down. While this will seem frustrating, it's necessary and we're assured that trees will be planted to replace the ones that had to be displaced.

This Sunday: Teaching Love
|
|
|
What Jesus taught has everything to do with love. When we are kind, we know we are not alone.
What Jesus taught has everything to do with love. I choose love, no matter what others do. When we put our differences behind us, the world looks new.
What Jesus taught has everything to do with love. Love is our trademark.
There's so much hope to hold onto, because what Jesus taught has everything to do with love. |
|
We don't have a mask mandate at UCC. However, because UCC is pro-children and pro-families, we are encouraging vaccination for those who are eligible and asking folks to wear masks when near others indoors.
We are pausing our Pre-K childcare and nursery for the time being, in the interest of safety and well-being for all. We will all get through this together. |
|
| For now, let's do fist or elbow bumps and Namaste instead of hugs! |

The group includes men and women and there's always great discussion!
Make new friends, share ideas and explore Unity teachings in a supportive, positive environment!
The Reverend Cynthia and the WINGS group are studying Lessons in Truth, which can be taken for credit in our UCC Prayer Chaplaincy program as well as for personal enrichment.
Lessons in Truth,
by Dr. H. Emilie Cady, is considered Unity’s primary textbook, together
with the Bible. It has proven to be of great value to Truth students at
all levels of spiritual unfoldment.
All are welcome to join in!

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!

Wednesday Evening "Faith Lift" Meditation Service |
|
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!

Let's get together and chat!
Board Member & President of Hospitality, Deb Larkin is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.

Welcome Our Candidates to the Board

Trina Anderson Trina Anderson has been a Unity member for some twenty years and truly is a blessing to us - her sweet presence always lifts our hearts.
"After visiting my mom’s new found Unity Church on the Florida east coast in 1998, I searched and found Unity Church of Clearwater. The Sunday lessons, classes and music have fit my needs from the start. I would like to see the church continue to be welcoming to all."
Blessings, Trina
Sam Derrera Sam and Fran are dear members of our Welcome Team. They have been attending UCC for nearly a decade now, always positive, eager to serve and meet new friends. When they moved to the area, Fran went looking for a spiritual home. Sam said, "Just explore churches you find interesting, and when you find the 'right one,' I'll go with you." Fran attended several, across a wide spectrum of faith communities. We are SO grateful that she chose our Church and brought Sam along, too!
Sam broke family tradition by joining the US Navy instead of the army in 1983 and gave our nation twenty years of dedicated service there. He says the Navy "saved his life" by giving him a strong sense of purpose and direction in his youth. He actually spent about two and a half years "under water" on submarines! He has one adopted daughter and four more step-children and everywhere they go, he and Fran are dearly loved.
What a joy to have such wonderful people helping to lead our family of faith! |

We're checking mail every day, so checks sent through the mail are fine, as are checks sent from your bank's online bill pay.
If you feel led you might consider setting up an automatic recurring donation. This can be done through your bank's bill pay or on the Church's donation form.
We've also been asked about the processing fees the church has to pay when the online form is used. The fees are a small percentage (3&-4%) of the total donation, however there is an option to cover fees that you may select if you feel so inclined. Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

“When we can follow the teaching, ‘Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you’ (Mt. 5:44), then we have just begun to glimpse what love is all about, and the greater application of this power which is so needed to transform our world…. A wonderful Teacher recognized this Truth when He said, ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me' (Mt. 25:40)…. He was, with His great wisdom, pointing to a universal truth…. What helps one, helps all” (Winifred Hausmann, Love-Powered Living). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I AM LOVE. I SPEAK LOVE AND I LIVE THE CHRIST TEACHINGS OF LOVE: WHAT HELPS OTHERS ALSO HELPS ME.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
