Construction Update
We continue to wait for the last few items on our building permit to be approved.  The only items left are site related issues and it is our understanding that the school's contractor will complete the remaining items shortly. Once those items are finally passed, our permit will be green lighted by the city.

The path has certainly been long & challenging, but we have held together & 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 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!
This Sunday: Carol Record - Everywhere and Always
Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci, based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman:

“In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes,
Anytime I’m in despair, I just speak this little prayer --

When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door,
Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on --

We all hear the Spirit call. It’s a small world after all.
Bound together in and through this one common, simple Truth:

God’s light surrounds us, God’s love enfolds us;
God’s power protects us; The presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, GOD IS!”

*On Sunday, Rev Carol will be formally installed on our UCC Ministry Team as our Minister of Unity Studies.
Last Sunday's Shining Words:

“Wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God” (Ruth 1:16).

The Mother side of God’s love shows us the path and helps us find our way, as if to say, ‘Walk in my footprints.’”

EFT - Tapping Group
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!
 
To Join:
Midweek Prayer/Meditation Service
Wednesdays
7:00-7:30 PM

PRAYER ..."is communion with God.... This communion is an attitude of mind and heart that lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the Source of every good and perfect thing..." (Myrtle Fillmore's Healing Letters).

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. You will not be on camera and can use this quiet time to observe or just listen to this peaceful meditation. Prayer brings beautiful changes.
Table Talk - All are Welcome!
Thursdays

Let's get together and chat!

Leddy hosts a weekly Zoom "Table Talk" every Thursday so we can stay in touch more regularly.

Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.

Healing Thought # 216
"You don't always know what's coming next. So it's best to feel very certain that God is always on hand everywhere and always. I can't get it all straightened out yet, it was so sudden and looked so dreadful; but I did keep my true thought shining and everybody got over the scare. ...." (from Wee Wisdom's Way, from Wee Wisdom magazine, continuously published by Unity from 1893 - 1993).
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:

"THERE IS NO SPOT WHERE GOD IS NOT; MY TRUE THOUGHTS SHINE, ALL THE TIME."

THANK YOU, GOD!
