This Sunday @ UCC:
Faith to Go on - Leddy Hammock
|
|
(lyrics by Jana Stanfield):
“Increase my faith, in the things I cannot see -- the things I cannot prove, yet I choose to believe.”
“When I’m losing my way, it’s these words I pray: Oh, increase my faith, increase my faith.”
“Open my mind, to the things I need to know, thoughts I need to hold, and the ones I can let go.”
“When I’m losing my way, it’s these words I pray: Oh, increase my faith, increase my faith.” |

| | Presentation: Celebrating Satchmo-The Life of Louis Armstrong
|
| Sun, Nov 13
12:00 PM
Peace Chapel
From poverty that provoked him to find ways to make money when he was only six, to one of the most celebrated entertainers in history, Louis Armstrong, Dippermouth, Pops, Little Louis, Satchmo…by any name, his popularity was immense and international.
Because Louis Armstrong's talent crossed racial barriers, borders, and genres, people throughout the world loved Satchmo -- and for good reason! His achievements were unprecedented. He was the first Black American to gain sponsorship for national radio broadcasts, one of the first artists to record scat singing, and among the first Black performers featured in major movies. His courageous stand for civil rights helped end segregation laws.
Let’s celebrate his incredible life. His story will inspire you and his music will move you with its celebration of life.

| | Transgender Day of Remembrance Service
|
| Sun, Nov 20
12:00 PM
Peace Chapel
This year again on November 20 (Sunday), on the International Transgendered Day of Remembrance -- as we have done every year on Nov. 20 for more than a decade, we will gather at noon here at Unity to read the names of all those who have been reported, the world over, to have lost their lives due to violence concerning their expression as transgendered.
All are welcome to this simple yet powerful gathering that will last about 20-30 minutes.
Many of these souls were "unidentified," yet we gather to make a statement together that their lives matter and together, we are affirming a wiser and kinder future for our world.
Join us as we remember and grow in understanding |

| | | | | November Heart of the House - Bob Preston
|
| In his long tenure as a member and volunteer at Unity Church of Clearwater, Bob Preston has amassed very meaningful recollections. He and his wife Dorothea, who made her transition on July 8, 2015, first came to UCC in 1972. Bob, with his son Rick, occupies last row left every Sunday morning.
Bob served on Unity’s Board of Directors three times. It was he who first encouraged Leddy Hammock to “put her hat in the ring” when the church was looking for a new minister. He fondly recalls seeing the success of his idea to construct a church addition for Sunday School rooms. Bob remembers, too, the influence of Associate Minister Mary Powell who would read Daily Word first as written and a second time, using the plural form of the first person pronoun. Bob still reads Daily Word that way, considering “we” more inclusive than “I.”

LOVE IS THE OPPOSITE OF CRITICISM
“The unloving, unnecessary results that people often bring on themselves through criticism (the opposite of love) recall the story of the young artist who had a genius (he thought) for picking out the faults and weaknesses of other people . He prided himself on seeing the unworthy traits in their character. One night this young man had a dream in which he saw himself walking on a barren road, struggling wearily beneath a heavy burden.
In the dream he cried out weakly: ‘What is this heavy weight I have to carry? Why must I carry it? Why should I be so burdened?’ A voice answered: ‘Your burden is the weight of all the faults you have found in other people. Why do you complain? You discovered those faults. Should they not, therefore, belong to you?’”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
I RELEASE THE BURDEN OF CRITICISM AND WAKE UP TO THE FREEING POWER OF DIVINE LOVE.
THANK YOU, GOD!
