We had a nice note from UCC member Sean Shrader who recently started teaching in Japan. Below is his message and pic he took during our service on Sunday. We look forward to greeting Sean next time he's with us in person.
Hi Rev. Hammock,
I hope you’re having a nice week so far.
Just
wanted to say although I can’t be in-person for the time being, I’m
greatly enjoying your services from Japan. Your message this past Sunday
on peace, and the need to embody that whenever possible is so
important, and critical to creating a better future
Please see enclosed for a picture I took watching Sunday’s service from a Japanese Starbucks haha.
November will be here before we know it, and I look forward to being back in person then. |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Be the Change
|
|
Lyrics to “We Can Be the Change” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel, Anji Kat
“One step, one act, it’s a simple fact, we can be the change.
Don’t have to do it all, no steps too small, we can be the change...
One heart, one voice, one simple choice, we can be the change.
When it calls to you and it’s yours to do, we can be the change...
Reach out one hand, be the change -- a part of the plan, be the change.
Put it into motion, be the change, like a ripple on the ocean, be the change...
We can be the change. We can be the change.”
*Pictured above: Leddy and long time member Patti Muse enjoyed sharing a moment together this past Sunday. |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Mt. 5:9).
“We have the precious present and our presence holds the key to a world that is more loving, as we share the dream of Peace." |

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.

Come, join us in our former sanctuary on campus, where we're having a really fun time, seeing many friends we haven't seen in a while and welcoming new friends, too! It's a more casual space, but has lovely air conditioning, restrooms in the lobby, and cool water-bottle fillers at rear of the room.
Our wonderful UCC Teams will all be there to welcome us to the Unity we love! Anyone who'd like to help with set up is welcome to join us at 9:00 AM on Sundays.
One day at a time! We submitted everything required of us for our permit last April, so we await the final approval of some items that are beyond our control. Our path has been rocky at times, but we're proving that we're strong, we've held together, and we'll finish strong!
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! |

“Change
is the master law. Everything is in a process of renewal…. There is
within the individual mind a knowing that is related to all the things
of being. This knowing brings recognition of the Spirit of God moving on
the face of the waters. The moving Spirit is the Change-producer, the
Transformer, the One who says: ‘I make all things new’” (Imelda Shanklin, “All Things Made New”). |
|
|
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“WHEN
I SENSE THAT GOD HAS SOMETHING NEW FOR ME TO DO IN MY LIFE, I FOLLOW
THIS DIVINE GUIDANCE AND CHANGE MY MIND. I GIVE THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE
CHANGES THAT RESULT.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
