This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - The Grand Design |
|
Inspired by lyrics to “The Grand Design” by Greg Tamblyn:
“…We’re all threads in a tapestry, woven together, your life and mine, ‘till our hearts and roads are intertwined. The road of life may lead us far from where we all begin, but sooner or later, The hands of time weave us back in to the Grand Design.
Our path divides, we take our chances, and pray our loved ones will understand us…. We navigate by heart. But, in time, we come to learn that every road is part of the Grand Design....
We could rise up high, see the long road, how far we’ve come and where we’ll go, see how our pathway crosses the others, we know our much we need each other. In this living tapestry, each thread is someone’s road and one day, from a higher place, we may know the Grand Design.
It’s something I believe and now I find it comforts me. 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.” |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“If you are called, reply, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening” (Sam. 3:8-9).
“There's a gate that's open, you can walk right through. That's your true calling, calling you.” |

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 Zoom
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!

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
