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 - Share the Dream of Peace
|
|
Inspired by lyrics, “Share the Dream of Peace” by Sue Riley, David Roth & Jana Stanfield:
“My skin may be a diff’rent shade, my language not the same. I pray in different places, I call God by different names. My clothing may not be like yours, might stand out in a crowd.
But in universal Spirit, there are diff’rences allowed.
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.
My arms embrace my children. I fall in love, I cry. I marvel at the sunset as another day goes by. But halfway ‘round the world, I know, your rain brings rainbows, too. Though we might seem so different, I am just the same as you.
Imagining the future, remembering the past. Together we can co-create a vision that will last. |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“All that you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it shall be yours” (Mk. l1:24).
We receive as we believe. Thank You, God! |

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.

“Peace is the breath of our spirit. It wells up from within the depths of our being to refresh, to heal, to inspire. Peace is our birthright. Its eternal presence exists within us as a memory of where we have come from and as a vision of where we yearn to go…. For peace to move across the face of the earth we must realize, as the great philosophers and leaders before us, that all people desire peace. We hereby acknowledge this truth that is universal. Now humanity must desire those things that make for peace. We affirm that peace is an idea whose time has come. We call upon humanity to stand united, responding to the need for peace, we call upon each individual to create and foster a personal vision for peace. We call upon each family to generate and nurture peace within the home …. We vow to live in peace by embracing truths that apply to us all. Living peaceably begins with thinking peacefully. We stand on the threshold of peace-filled understanding …. Peace be with us all ways” (The Universal Peace Covenant, 1997, updated 7/04, by the School of Metaphysics). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“LET PEACE PREVAIL IN MY MIND AND HEART AND LET PEACE DAWN UPON THE EARTH.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
