We're excited to announce that the City of Clearwater has issued our building permit! Our contractor Bill Botelho and his company, Custom Building Solutions, is now able to begin mobilizing. We believe this process will take about 60 days and needs to be done before we'll see shovels in the ground.
In the meantime, we'll plan to update everyone as much as possible during the mobilization. Once Bill is through that we'll start seeing the construction begin.
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're very glad to welcome old friends and new friends on Sundays on our
home campus.
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it! |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Attitude of Gratitude Even Now
|
|
I practice an attitude of gratitude, even when things don’t seem to go as I had hoped.
My prayers are answered as I share generously from my grateful heart.
The grateful heart draws to itself great things.
Perfect answers take form as I keep a good and grateful attitude. |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“What you decide shall succeed for you, and upon your ways light shall shine” (Job 14:15-28).
“I can love like crazy, shine like gold, be courageous, break the mold. I can’t do it all, but this much is true, I can do what I can do.” |

Send your messages to nancy@unityofclearwater.org and include your name and city.
Your Being brings Joy to the World.

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!

We invite you to join us for a half hour of contemplative guided prayer time. The service is live streamed to our Facebook page so no need to log in to Zoom. You will not be on camera and can use this quiet time to observe or just listen to this peaceful meditation. Prayer brings beautiful changes. |

A Kind Letter from UCC Member Veronica Tucker
|
|
My Dearest
Leddy,
“… We are in a
time of real spiritual cleansing and we will all look back a little while from
now and realize that others before us have left us signs and guiding posts
with gentle reminders to comfort us while working through our transformation,
which at times can be very painful. Ask any butterfly….
Now, here we
are in this time and place. As Sloan Wainwright rightfully stated, ‘We are piece of the puzzle, a part of the
plan, but we are free, right where we are.’

"Political
disputes should never lead
us to reject the cause of unity. There is a need to stand back ever so
often and give thanks that at least we live in a land where we can
differ; where we
can voice our own views and vote as we please, thus participating in
government
on all levels. Holding this attitude, we can have differences without
becoming
divided…. It takes humility to see that politics can
have a unity of unlike-mindedness. There must be awakened within us the
realization of the importance of a point of contact rather than a point of
view. It takes humility to accept the results of an election if the ‘other’
party succeeds. But let us know that all people can be channels for God's love
and wisdom, and let us be big enough to pray for their guidance” (Eric Butterworth, Unity of NYC, ca. 1975) |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I AM GRATEFUL TO LIVE IN A LAND WHERE WE CAN DIFFER WITHOUT BECOMING DIVIDED. WE PRAY FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE AND UNIFYING LOVE FOR ALL.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
