| About our Prayer Walk . . . |
|
Over the years, the engraved bricks in our Prayer Walk have shown the effects of time and weather. Since Jim Niswender, who initiated the Prayer Walk when he served on UCC's Board of Directors about a decade ago, has found a company that creates lasting bricks that will not require sealing, UCC is ordering replacement bricks and we have good records to consult in order to do that.
Folks who have ordered bricks already placed there will just please write to us at info@unityofclearwater.org to share the information, We'll extricate the requested bricks for you and bring them indoors so they can be taken home with you as keepsakes. Meantime, we'll reorder them at no cost to you.
Voluntary contributions to the $2500 total brick replacement project are most appreciated. The new Prayer Path will be along the east shores of the Peace Pond, in a pleasant park-like fenced area at our new Church Home. |

This Sunday: Everything Changes
|
|
|
Lyrics to “Everything Changes” by Sue Riley and Tom Kimmel:
“Used to be when things got crazy, I’d get to feeling low. But, I found out I can’t let that phase me ….
Sometimes we all feel disconnected…. It’s kind of strange, but it’s true: when everything changes, I can change anything.
Turning the pages, everything’s new.
If life’s little stages are teaching me anything, it’s everything changes and I can change, too. |

We don't have a mask mandate at UCC. However, because UCC is pro-children and pro-families, we are encouraging vaccination for those who are eligible and asking folks to wear masks when near others indoors.
We are pausing our Pre-K childcare and nursery for the time being, in the interest of safety and well-being for all. We will all get through this together. |
|
| For now, let's do fist or elbow bumps and Namaste instead of hugs! |

The Reverend Cynthia and the WINGS group are studying Lessons in Truth, which can be taken for credit in our UCC Prayer Chaplaincy program as well as for personal enrichment.
Lessons in Truth,

with the Bible. It has proven to be of great value to Truth students at
all levels of spiritual unfoldment.

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!

Wednesday Evening "Faith Lift" Meditation Service |
|
Wednesdays 7:00 PM Livestream Only
Prayer is the foundation of the Unity movement and of Unity Church of Clearwater.
The Wednesday evening service features guided meditation, music, silence, and prayer.
Meditation
is the process of listening to the “still, small voice” of God within
us. Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought and
includes the release of negative thinking as well as holding in mind
statements of spiritual truth. The contemplative nature of entering into
the silence allows people of like mind to share the power of sitting in
the silence together.
We invite you to join us! This is an
opportunity to raise the consciousness of oneness that is at the core of
our Unity teachings.
Let us lift our consciousness to new heights through prayer and meditation, and help heal ourselves and our world!

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.

Trina Anderson Trina Anderson has been a Unity member for some twenty years and truly is a blessing to us - her sweet presence always lifts our hearts.
"After visiting my mom’s new found Unity Church on the Florida east coast in 1998, I searched and found Unity Church of Clearwater. The Sunday lessons, classes and music have fit my needs from the start. I would like to see the church continue to be welcoming to all."
Blessings, Trina
Sam Derrera Sam and Fran are dear members of our Welcome Team. They have been attending UCC for nearly a decade now, always positive, eager to serve and meet new friends. When they moved to the area, Fran went looking for a spiritual home. Sam said, "Just explore churches you find interesting, and when you find the 'right one,' I'll go with you." Fran attended several, across a wide spectrum of faith communities. We are SO grateful that she chose our Church and brought Sam along, too!
Sam broke family tradition by joining the US Navy instead of the army in 1983 and gave our nation twenty years of dedicated service there. He says the Navy "saved his life" by giving him a strong sense of purpose and direction in his youth. He actually spent about two and a half years "under water" on submarines! He has one adopted daughter and four more step-children and everywhere they go, he and Fran are dearly loved.
What a joy to have such wonderful people helping to lead our family of faith! |

“I advise you to take a single problem in your life — something you want to get rid of or something you want to obtain — and change your thought about this thing, and keep it changed. Do not be in a hurry to select your problem; take your time . . . . Take your problem and change your mind concerning it, and keep it changed for a month, and you will be astonished at the results you will get. If you really do keep your thought changed you will not have to wait a month. If you really change your thought and keep it changed, the demonstration may come in a few hours…. The secret is to keep your thought changed into the new condition. So keep your thought carefully, quietly expressive of the new condition that you want to produce. Believe what you are thinking, and to prove that you believe it you must act the part. By changing your mind about your problem in this way and keeping it changed, you are building a new mental equivalent, a mental equivalent of harmony and success, and that mental equivalent, as we know, must be outpictured in your experience” (Emmet Fox, “The Mental Equivalent”). |
