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.
Keep checking our eNews for updates! |

We recently got word from Principal Akbaba that he has reason to expect the partial certificate of occupancy for the Discovery Academy soon (by the end of April or May) whereupon we should be able to open the gates of our former worship space & bring our Sunday services back to the campus. Watch our eNews for updates!
We look forward to the City’s green light for approval of our construction permits so we can begin to build our new Church home.
We will never forget the kindness of our dear neighbors at Congregation Beth Shalom, which has been such a welcoming House of Peace for Unity and at the lovely Temple B’nai Israel, who also have graciously hosted us, as well as the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater on several occasions.
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 Power of Love
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Love Is Everything” by Denise Rosier:
Love is the power that moves like the mighty sea,
the peace that brings wars to cease. Love is everything.
Love is the voice that calls us into being. It’s the joy that makes a songbird sing,
the word that every language speaks, the Name that is above all things.
Love is everything.
Love can’t hide, be pushed aside, or be unseen.
It’s you and me. Love is everything.
Love stands beside us. It goes before us. Love is everything.
It moves around us, it restores us. Love is everything. |
|
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“There is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding” (Job 32:8).
Spirit move everything. Spirit move in the space between. Spirit move. |

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!

"Love is a healer! It repairs, renews, revitalizes, regenerates. It has power to restore even those things which appear to be lost forever. ... Love will heal anything in your affairs that can possibly need to be changed, and this applies to everything .... Love is powerful to transform and harmonize.... Just a little love can transform a threatening mountain into a molehill, and a little more love can dissolve it entirely. Love is the answer, even when all else has failed" (Winifred Hausmann in Love Powered Living). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"GOD IS IN CHARGE, AND GOD IS LOVE. LOVE RENEWS, REVITALIZES AND REGENERATES. LOVE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING."
