The best time to plant a tree was in the beginning. The next best time is today.
Planting trees is an expression of spirituality, encouraging hospitality and welcome, shelter and renewal, empowerment and strength.
Planting a tree and tending an orchard is practicing patience and taking care of our land. We are moving to keep our homeland green.
By good thoughts and creative actions, we are planting saplings of pride and possibility that bring forth prosperity and peace. |

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!

Thursdays
12:00 PM
Bring your lunch and let's get together and chat!
Board Member & President of Hospitality, Deb Larkin is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
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.
Each week, Deb will have a new topic and you will have the opportunity to learn something new about each other and to share your thoughts. You can choose to participate or just listen in, whatever is comfortable for you. It will be a fun time for all as we enjoy our Unity community and navigate a new normal of virtual social distancing and spiritual closeness.

Next week's movie will be "I Was a Male War Bride" (1950) with Cary Grant, Ann Sheridan & Marion Marshall
Captain Henri Rochard of France is assigned to work with First Lieutenant Catherine Gates of the U. S. Army. Through a wacky series of misadventures, they fall in love and marry. When the war ends, Rochard tries to return to America like female war brides could under the auspices of America's 1945 War Brides Act. Zany gender-confusing antics follow.

Even While We're Away, Good Hearts Tend to Our Beloved Church Home "Religiously!"
|
|
|
We're hearing from folks that our Church grounds look better than ever, and that's due in large part to the amazing skill and tender loving care given our grounds by volunteer, Phil Henne "Our Hero Gardener," who tells us he finds this landscaping relaxing and meditative.
He also send a photo of the back porch rail at the Peace Cottage, recently taken on by Rick Preston of our Facilities Team, who recently took on the arduous job of sanding and repainting it to match the trim.
We are so very grateful!
If anybody else wants to step up to come alone or with others of the same households (or with other fully vaccinated folks) to tackle a deep cleaning and freshening, top to bottom, of various areas on an afternoon, Tues-Fri this Spring, please let us know!
You can email info@unityofclearwater to claim your space and let us know what day and time you’d like to come make a favorite area of the Church sparkle this springtime.

Thanks for the Kind Words!
|
|
Your words of praise and thanks are so very appreciated and we love to share them because they reflect the positive consciousness that the UCC family embodies. Here are the latest loving thoughts shared with us:
"I just finished listening to your sermon. I sit in this
really comfortable chair in the direct sunlight and sip my coffee and
absorb every word you say. It's one of the only times in my day, and
also my week, that I am truly quiet and peaceful. What a blessing that
is! Today your sermon
was even more powerful than usual. I realized that each day I am
growing my faith a little more and I have you to thank for that. I
think the Covid separation has brought you closer to all of us. You
have shared so much of yourself and at the same time allowed us to look
deeper inside ourselves. Just
wanted you to know how much you mean to me and how grateful I am for
Unity. Have a wonderful day - you so deserve it. Love and hugs from
Kansas." J.L.
"When I first came to UCC some 23 years ago, of all that was good that day, I was almost mesmerized by your calming, euphonic voice. And, the effect continues." D.P.
"What a joy today's service was and I must say that you both [Sue and Leddy] work soooo well in concert. The scriptures were perfect as well as the message. Every piece of music and singing chosen by Sue was perfect for the day and Leddy, your message was perfect and gave me a much needed lift. I'm so grateful to have access to Unity of Clearwater. . . . Be assured I'll keep on loving this beautiful earth for which we are given responsibility. All is well" T.Y. |

We're checking mail every day, so checks sent through the mail are fine, as are checks sent from your bank's online bill pay.
If you feel led you might consider setting up an automatic recurring donation. This can be done through your bank's bill pay or on the Church's donation form.
We've also been asked about the processing fees the church has to pay when the online form is used. The fees are a small percentage (3&-4%) of the total donation, however there is an option to cover fees that you may select if you feel so inclined. Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

UCC Contributes Monthly to Feeding Tampa Bay
|
|
| UCC continues to contribute to FeedingTampaBay.org. They have doubled their weekly meals distributed from 1 million meals to 2 million, establishing six weekly mega pantries serving nearly 10,000 families each week and converting their mobile pantries to a drive-thru model for increased distribution and safety. Message from "Rosie" on the organization's site: "I'm a full time caregiver to my husband, . . . . The food provided by Feeding Tampa Bay has helped us enormously. The meals are well balanced . . . and taste great! We really appreciate the help during this time." |

“A tree is a connecting link between the heavens and the earth, the formless and the formed . . . . Impressions are carried over the [tree like] nerves--and it is by means of thinking that we contact both the physical and the spiritual . . . (palms denote victory) and [oaks denote] faith in God as a strong, protecting power and abiding place . . .” (Charles Fillmore, Metaphysical Bible Dictionary). |
|
|
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“THE BEST TIME TO PLANT A TREE (OR PLANT A STRONG THOUGHT OF FAITH IN SPIRIT IN CONSCIOUSNESS) IS TWENTY YEARS AGO. THE NEXT BEST TIME TO DO EITHER IS RIGHT NOW. I AM FIRMLY ROOTED IN MY FAITH IN SPIRIT.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
