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! |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Ready to Receive
|
|
My life is in order and I am ready to receive my good.
I do not make excuses. I make ready.
My mind is now open, my heart is receptive to be healed and happy.
I am open to give love and to receive love, to love and to be loved. |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“As you have believed, let it be done for you.’ And at that very hour [his] servant was healed” (Mt. 8:8-13).
We’re all healing in the hands of time. |

Welcome New UCC Prayer Chaplain, Lydia Muar
|
|
UCC Welcomes new Prayer Chaplain, Lydia Muar, during our Sunday Service on August 25. Please be with us for this happy occasion!
A little info about Lydia:
• Born and raised just north of New York City; big sister to Joannie and Victor.
• Saint Thomas Aquinas College - Bachelor of Science Psychology / Minor Fine Arts.
• Business experiences include several facets of commercial real estate since 1978, business owner since 1990, and lots of fundraising and community involvement with Moffitt Cancer Center, The Outback Bowl, Breast Cancer Awareness via T.V, Radio, with lots of fundraising and community involvement with The Outback Bowl, Breast Cancer Awareness via T.V, radio & public speaking, and was honored to present book signings and talks tying to my booklet Survivor’s Wish - Poetry and Prose of the Journey, published by Owl Oak press in 2009.
• Enjoyed ten incredible seasons with the New York Yankees before moving to Tampa in 1977, where I met and later married David and gained a six-year-old son, Michael. In 1988, our second son Ryan arrived.
Unity Church of Clearwater found me in 1989. I had no name for what it was I was searching for. I arrived without an appointment, greeted by Leddy as I opened the door for the first time, listening to and answering all my questions about what felt vastly different for me and at the same time so right. I asked whether “The Minister” would Christen Ryan. I discovered then that my Unity Study had begun that very afternoon with “Reverend Leddy.”
On Mother’s Day May 14,1989, we gratefully became part of this spiritual family. Since then, I have continued as a regular participant in UCC Sunday services, WINGS study group, Thursday Table Talks, and Bible classes with Rabbi Baseman by Zoom. Ryan is now thirty-six. |

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 turn Godward open to receive ... [and] our mind draws forth from the Father a fulfillment of it in the highest form in which we are capable of receiving it. Our part is to step forth boldly in faith as if we were conscious of receiving.... We shall find that it is met in overflowing measure by our Father's love. Words will be put in our mouth; wisdom will be given for decisions and strength to meet the occasion, the needed amount of money will be forthcoming. It will all seem as natural as if the need had never existed; for even before we asked it was met, the fulfillment being subject only to our performing our part in the transaction. In the silence, we contact the answer whether we are aware of it or not, and faith and expectancy and steady vision bring it forth into being" (Frances Foulks, Effectual Prayer, "Living the Life"). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"WE TURN GODWARD TO RECEIVE THE WISDOM, STRENGTH, ABUNDANCE, PATIENCE, AND GOOD GRACE, TO MEET EVERY OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE READY TO RECEIVE!"
