Unity Construction Update:
We
continue to affirm that the remodeling of the present building and
the construction of the new classroom building for the Discovery Academy and
also the construction of our new Church home by Peace Pond, are progressing for the highest good of all concerned.
Please
be with us in prayer as we work to facilitate the envisioned outcome. UCC's expert attorneys feel we
have a binding
agreement in place with Southcrest Developers to build our facility
for the amount we were assured would provide our new Church Home according
to the plans that were mutually approved last Spring. We continue to
affirm that our good cannot be withheld from us and we see our new
building taking form in divine order and
timing.
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 so glad to welcome a growing congregation of
friends on Sunday mornings!
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: Leddy Hammock - Rising in Love
|
|
Lyrics from “Rising in Love” by David Roth
I always find it surprising, the way people say that they’re falling in love when I always thought I was rising, floating right off of the ground and reaching something that I only have dreamed of. I’m not falling at all; I am rising in love.
Everyone talks about tying the knot, … but the feeling of love should be freeing – lifting each other up instead of giving one another a shove. We won’t be falling at all; we’ll be rising in love.
How do you let love grow? You’ve got to give it a chance when you’ve found it. We won’t be falling at all; we’ll be rising in love.
The deeper the river, the greater the trust and the more that we’re rising above. We won’t be falling at all; we’ll be rising in love. |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart’s desire” (Ps. 37).
I am ready now, today, for my heart’s desire. |

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 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!

“Falling in love is easy...some do it often. Rising in love requires commitment...and the self-less effort to be a “helpmate” to another...to help [one another] to grow into oneness with [the] Christ self” (Eric Butterworth, lecture, 1975). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I AM RISING UP INTO A FULLER AWARENESS AND EXPRESSION OF DIVINE LOVE.”
