Sunday Service Time: 11:00 AM |
| | | | | "This is my prayer for you this Christmas: May there always be room in your heart for divinity to find a birthing-place. May you be holy as the angels were, faithful as the shepherds were, humble as the cattle were. May you have the compassion Mary had, and the understanding Joseph had, and may the blessing of the Christ child be yours . . . . because His love is born in you today!" James Dillet Freeman |

This Sunday @ UCC:
Lesson Title: Letting Go of Holding On
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci
“I’m letting go of holding on. God is my shepherd, I shall not want.
I’m letting go of holding on, seeking first the kingdom of God.
I let go of the feelings that feed on lack and greed. I let go of the reasons keeping me in need.
I let go of the fear that there’s never enough, and I stop holding on, to what is not love.” |

One
of Unity’s oldest and dearest traditions, the Burning Bowl Service is

"Get Ready, My Soul" A New Year's Retreat
Celebrate your first Saturday of the new year with an intimate, open-hearted experience of reflection and intention, inspiring music, deep contemplation and thought-provoking conversation.
Through powerful music, readings, discussion and journaling, we’ll close one chapter of our lives, and begin another, with clarity, honesty and intention. Before work resumes, before school starts again, before the same-old habits and patterns kick in, take a deep breath and a deep dive into the life you’ve been living… and the next life you want to live.

| | | A Keepsake Bible for Youth Ministry Students!
As soon as we have at least three school age Unity students who have attended Youth Ministry classes here at least ten times during twelve months, their teachers here will be happy to plan with their parent(s) a Sunday in which to plan to include a short ceremony during the beginning of our Sunday Worship service to honor these excellent and dedicated students with a brand new, personal keepsake New American Bible, as a lovegift from Unity Church of Clearwater, inscribed with their names and the date of the award, for their lifelong use and remembrance.
Please see our Youth Ministry Coordinator and Certified Truth Teacher, Cynthia Mackey for more information. |

“In this Lesson we are considering the subject of faith especially as it applies to the demonstration of prosperity. In this study, as in all others, we must start in the one Mind. God had faith when He imaged [hu]man[ity] and the universe and through His faith brought all things into being. [Hu]man[kind], being like God, must also base [its] creations on faith as the only foundation. Here then is our starting point in building a prosperity consciousness and making our world as we would have it. We all have faith, for it is innate in every [person]. Our question is how we may put it to work in our affairs.
Jesus gave us our best understanding of faith when He described Peter as a "rock" and asserted that His church, the ecclesia or "called-out ones," was to be built up with this rock or faith as its sure foundation. In this sense, faith represents substance, the underlying, basic principle of all manifestation. ‘Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.’
It is quite possible to possess a reality that cannot be seen, touched, or comprehended by any of the outer senses. It is faith when we are fully conscious of "things not seen" and have the "assurance of things" not yet manifest. In other words, faith is that consciousness in us of the reality of the invisible substance and of the attributes of mind by which we lay hold of it. We must realize that the mind makes real things. ‘Just a thought’ or ‘just a mere idea,’ we sometimes lightly say, little thinking that these thoughts and ideas are the eternal realities from which we build our life and our world.”
(Charles Fillmore Cofounder of the Unity Movement in Prosperity [1936] -- Lesson Three: Faith in the Invisible Substance, the Key to Demonstration). |

“I AM FULLY CONSCIOUS OF THE INVISIBLE SUBSTANCE OF IDEAS FROM WHICH I AM CONSCIOUSLY BUILDING MY REAL AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD AND MY WONDERFUL, ABUNDANT LIFE.”
