Unity Construction Update:
Our pathway is illumined and we're taking all of the steps toward fulfilling our dream of a beautiful new Church building on the shores of Peace Pond!
√ The architect who prepared the plans from our conceptual designs has agreed, in print, to seal and send us the working plans!
√ A civil engineer has agreed to complete the amended site plan for us so that we can move ahead!
√ We are about to sign construction documents with our new contractor, who is ready to start right away!
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 glad to welcome new friends on Sundays!
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 - Finding Your Way
|
|
Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley to “True North”
“I’ve been a weary traveler on a broken road.
Guide me as I find my way, find my own true north.”
“I’ve reached a place of trust, I know, I’m answering the call.” “Guide me as I find my way, find my own true north.”
God is with me always, even in the wilderness,
ready to give me a sign, hold my hand, and help me along the way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A wedding couple at CBS had asked for pantry items for
the Jewish Family Services in lieu of wedding gifts. We will be back
at CBS on 8/27. Hugs, Leddy |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope” (Jer.29:11-12).
I’ve come to love the mystery. The Grand Design is with us all along, a last goodbye, a newborn’s song and, in the end, we all belong to the Grand Design. |

EFT - Tapping Group - New Zoom Link
|
|
|
Tuesdays
1:30 PM Zoom
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!

New Class: Discover the Power within You
with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
Tuesdays
7:00 PM

Eric
Butterworth's inspiring tour de force, the author shares the greatest
discovery of all time: the ability to see the divine within us all.
Jesus saw this divine dimension in every human being, and Butterworth
reveals this hidden and untapped resource to be a source of limitless
abundance. Exploring this "depth potential," Butterworth outlines ways
in which we can release the power locked within us for better health,
greater confidence, increased success, and inspired openness to let our
"light shine" forth for others.
All Are Welcome!
Recommendations:
This book changed my perspective on life and religion.
-- Oprah Winfrey, from O Magazine, May/June 2000
"A
wonderful book ... truly a life-changer, as many readers know. This
book really does release the power within us all." -- Norman Vincent

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!

Rosh Chodesh at CBS - All Welcome
|
|
Shalom!
I hope that you are enjoying the summer!
I
wanted to personally invite you to the kick-off event of our Women's
Rosh Chodesh 2.0 series. We will be learning from my good friend, Karen
Ledesma, a local yoga and meditation teacher and master guide of women's
circles.
In our third year already, this will be the opening
session of a monthly series, curated and sometimes facilitated by me!
If you are looking for a unique opportunity to explore spiritual renewal
and refresh for the Jewish New Year, please consider participating and
bringing a friend!
You don't have to be Jewish to attend.
The link to register, along with the flyer for the event is below.
You
will also see a second flyer that has our dates for the upcoming
months. Specific programs for the upcoming months are in the works, but
you can expect to find art projects, health workshops, social
activities, lifestyle presentations, and I am hoping for - a fun ladies
night karaoke!
Hope to see you there!
With Blessings,
Rabbi Danielle

"One ship sails East, and another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails and not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life. 'Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal and not the calm or the strife"
(Ella Wheeler Wilcox, "The Set of the Sails" poem). |
