| HOLY WATER by LH, for Lent, 2021 |
| | | O, Holy Spirit, here in the Silence, by the still waters, quiet I stay.
Now let my mind be as still as the waters—open, receptive to all that You say.
Let there be peace and light on the waters! Holy Water, how good it is!
As in the beginning, in sacred darkness, earth appears formless–no answer in sight.
Holy Spirit, breathe over the waters a Word like a wind song, “Let there be light!”
And there is Light now, Light on the water! Holy Water – how good it is!
O, Holy Spirit, gather the waters–waters above and waters below.
Summon the dry land to rise in the waters, quicken the green grass and seed trees to grow.
Let there be life, on earth, sky, and waters! Holy Water – how good it is!
O, Holy Spirit, our Hope in the desert, opening wells to mirror the sky.
Lower the vessel, filled to the brimming and offer refreshment to all who pass by.
Welcome the stranger, pour out the vessel! Holy Water – how good it is!
O, Holy Spirit, I wade in the water. My prayer has been answered as I realized
That You brought me here to reflect You like water, know that You love me, and I am baptized.
Oh, Holy Spirit, descend like a dove now! Holy Water – how good it is!
O, Holy Spirit, I’m here at Your calling—a guest at Your table, a banquet divine.
All who were thirsting are fed by Your service, to pour living water that sparkles like wine.
O, Holy Spirit, transform by Your presence! Holy Water – how good it is! |

| Leddy's Lesson this Sunday: - Forty Years by Faith |

From Lyrics to “Look How Far You’ve Come” by Sue Riley:
“...Let's talk about the future, let's cool off with the rain.’ 'Cause, there's no way to change the past, take back a single word, undo what has been done.
Though you're not where you were heading, just look how far you've come.’ .... Could I have watched more sunsets, walked more winding roads, been sweeter, softer, kinder, embraced this life I chose?
So, I've made a few adjustments to my treasure map of dreams. I've found that being happy pretty much depends on me.
I can't go back and change one single thing from times gone past. But, each day I remind myself to treasure what I have. . . . Look how far I’ve come, look how far I’ve come!” |

Welcome, Our Two Candidates to the Board! |
| | | I
retired 2 years ago from a long satisfying career as a Project
Manager/Facility Planner. Presently I am a dog walker. I just love my
clients. They are fun and keep me in motion! I have 2 dogs of my own
Millie and Hank. I enjoy being outdoors walking, hiking, biking and
swimming. I'm really glad that I have made so many friends. I enjoy each
and every one of them. Previously, I served one other full term and
fulfilled the last year of an additional term, and now am delighted to
be eligible to serve another term for my home Church! |
|
| Hello,
I’m honored and excited to join the Board for another term. Unity has
meant so much to my life and I look forward to joining the Board.
I’m
retired from the City of Clearwater (32 years). After I retired from
the City, I worked at Morton Plant Hospital in the Volunteer Office for 2
years and at the Information Desk for 1 year. I continue to volunteer
for the hospital at an adult cancer survivor camp each year. I also
volunteer at Church in the media loft and the Church Office. Since we
can’t meet in person right now, I’m volunteering from home by promoting
our online services and other events on social media sites. I love doing
this and look forward to the day it’s safe to meet in person. |

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.

Folks are still asking: "What's the best way to send an offering to the Church?"
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.

“We just received from the Father some ideas that proved wonderfully helpful in our own family’ and then we shared them with others, and they too were helped. Since those of like faith are drawn together, we soon found ourselves in a little society, which was formed for the study of Truth and the practice of its ideas. . . . You may never have suspected it, but this Unity work is a dream that has been nurtured and built from the invisible to the concrete through love and devotion and good, hard work. . . . I am glad to offer you the testimony that we have proved that God can and will prosper the work that the Holy Spirit prompts. . . . But we have always had to launch right out on faith without visible evidences of the ultimate success. We know that God is in His work, and that it is the Spirit of God operative in a given service that provides whatever is required in the doing of that work.” – Myrtle Fillmore’s Healing Letters, pp. 15-16. |
