This Sunday @ UCC:
From Please 2 Thank You - Leddy Hammock
|
|
LORD, I begin my prayer with a cry for help, feeling alone and vulnerable, weak and afraid, guilty and worried, unsure that You hear me or care.
Then, open to Your guidance, I thank You for Your protecting love, knowing You always hear and answer me, for You are fair and forgiving, my saving grace.
Your love lifts my heart and I thank You. My prayer is answered and I am at peace. |

| | | | | | Leddy shared Unity's version of the Doxology with us this past Sunday. She had several requests for it after the service, so here it is:
Praise God that good is everywhere;
Praise to the love we all may share,
The life that thrills in you and me;
Praise to the Truth that sets us free. Amen.
Years ago, we used to begin our Sunday services with this doxology. (It's fun to google the word "Doxology" and find "Sockdology" -- slang
for this big "Tahdah!" that has been traditionally used to conclude a
section of Christian worship.) It's rather comforting to sing it together, and this tune -- "The Old 100th" from the Genevan Psalter -- is one of the most unifying elements of Christendom.

| | Heart of the House - Gregory Brady & Walter DeFord
|
|  |
Gregory Brady and Walter DeFord have been coming to Unity Church of Clearwater for about 15 years at the encouragement of friend and 6th row regular Micki Cobb. Busy careers have limited them to weekly Sunday attendance but without a lot of other involvement. Now, that they are free of some former work responsibilities, that is beginning to change. They would both like to become more involved and are encouraged to serve on any of our volunteer teams where they feel led to serve!
Neither Gregory nor Walter has attended another Unity church. Walter, born in Stafford Springs, CT, was raised Catholic. At 18, he moved to Miami to attend the University of Miami and since then, Florida has been his home. He came to Pinellas County in 1996, after returning from up north to take care of his mother Barbara until her transition. Gregory’s grandparents, with whom he attended church, were missionary Baptists. He was born in Huntsville, AL, where his father and grandfather worked in the space industry at NASA. He moved here when his father took a job in Florida and has lived in Dunedin since 1974.

| | | “I recall once having a problem that (I thought) I had tried in every way to solve. Still it was as though I faced a stone wall.
Other persons were involved. Until they took action, I was helpless to do anything more, I reasoned. It seemed a particularly frustrating situation since the next move had to be made by someone else. I had prodded these persons in every way I knew and still they had not taken action. It seemed hopeless, until one day I read these words by Emma Curtis Hopkins: ‘Everything is really full of love for you.’”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
"EVERYTHING IS REALLY FULL OF LOVE FOR YOU.”
THANK YOU, GOD!
