We
are so grateful that CBS & TBI have graciously welcomed us to
present our Sunday services there. Meantime, the Discovery Academy has
remodeled our former sanctuary and will welcome us to use it on Sunday
mornings, once they receive their certificate of occupancy.

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.
Meantime, our former building is looking terrific (pic above) and will be available to us on Sundays once the school is able to obtain their temporary certificate of occupancy.
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: Leddy Hammock - The Mother Side of God |
|
Inspired by lyrics from “Footprints” by Sue Riley:
The Mother side of God's Love is selfless and unconditional, as if to say, “Stay right behind me and I will lead the way.”
The Mother side of God's love knows how to let go, as if to say,
“I know you are frightened, but I will keep you safe.”
The Mother side of God's Love gives life as a labor of love, as if to say, “You shall know no harm.”
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.”
*The pic above shows us honoring our dear Nancy Peterson last Sunday at
Temple B'nai Israel. Not only has Nancy beautifully completed the
entire first year of Unity's Ministerial Program through Unity Worldwide
Ministries (and is following through in the classes this year, too),
but has also successfully completed a full unit of the St. Joseph's
Hospital Association's Clinical Pastoral Education Program. Way to go, Nancy! |

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!

"It is my great joy to perceive somewhat of the Mother side of God -- the divine love that never fails and that is equal to the drawing of souls to itself. It is my prayer to be able to radiate the qualities of this divine love to all. You, too, are the mother of Unity, because in your heart you have the same ideals, and the same great generous spirit, and the endless and tireless service, and the love that never fails! The Mother of Unity is the universal Mother. How happy we are, to represent this Mother!" -- Myrtle Fillmore's Healing Letters. |
