This Sunday: - Home Sweet Earth
|
|
|
God is good and God’s creation is good.
The earth is made out of Good and made for good!
The earth is our sacred household. We are in charge of caring for the earth and all of its creatures, wisely and lovingly.
God bless the earth and all who live on earth.
God’s name is Good -- always ready to be expressed -- in our good thoughts, words, and actions, in all the earth, for the highest good of all.

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

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.

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. |

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 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." |

“The Bible states that God created the earth and all its creatures, and last of all [hu]man, to whom He gave dominion over everything. Observation and experience prove that [hu]man[ity] is gaining dominion over nature wherever [we apply ourselves] to that end. But so much remains to be gained . . . . All the real mastery that [hu][man[ity] attains in the world has its roots in [our] mind, and when [we open] up the mental realm in [our] being there are no unattainables . . .” (Charles Fillmore, “Is this God’s World?” Chapter 8 in Atom Smashing Power of Mind). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"I EXPRESS THE DOMINION GOD HAS BESTOWED UPON HUMANKIND BY HONORING THE EARTH AND TREATING EARTH'S CREATURES WITH KINDNESS."
THANK YOU, GOD! |
