This Sunday @ UCC:
Lesson Title: House of the Soul's Belonging
|
|
Inspired by lyrics from “House of the Soul’s Belonging” by JD Martin & Jan Garrett:
“In the kingdom of love there is no competition. There is no contradiction, and no control.
But you can take possession, and claim your passion, working on a building that cannot be bought or sold.
Step into the feeling of sweet surrender, let yourself remember who you are.
You can take your own sweet time, and ease your troubled mind in the secret sanctuary of the heart.
There is room for all the kindness you can hold, and you know that you can take it with you everywhere you go.
Living in the House of the Soul’s Belonging, where you know without a doubt that you’ve made it home, living in the House of the Soul’s belonging, coming back to the holy ground that you’ve always known.” |

| | Meet Our New UCC Minister Emeritus
|
| In 1981, Leddy and Randy Schmelig, who had been serving at Unity Christ Church in St. Petersburg (now called Unity Church of St. Petersburg) were elected by a large majority of our voting membership to lead the ministry here.
Subsequently, Randy founded Unity Church of Palm Harbor and then was called to lead the ministry at First Unity Church of St. Louis, where he served for twenty-one years. Randy and his dear wife, Faye, retired in Palm Harbor, where she passed peacefully last spring
Delighted that Randy has been attending UCC whenever possible, Leddy proposed to our Ministry Team and Board of Directors (who expressed unanimous and enthusiastic approval) that Randy be invited to accept the title of Minister Emeritus at UCC.
The Reverend Randy graciously accepted and will be installed in our Sunday service on Sunday, February 23, the day of our Annual Meeting.
Welcome Home, Reverend Randy! |

Dr. Garland Landrith is a cutting-edge quantum field psychologist and energy healer, whose research was cited in the highly-acclaimed film, "What the Bleep Do You Know?,” which combines quantum field technology with tapping on acupuncture points to teach people how to create the life of their dreams.
Dr. Landrith was among the first to scientifically document that "what we think inside, can have a profound influence on the outer world.". In his pioneering peer-reviewed published research studies in 1981, 1982 and 1988, it was found that the inner thoughts of groups of individuals can actually improve the quality of life in the cities they live-by lowering crimes, auto accidents and suicides. In short, we can create miracles in our outer worlds with our own minds.
He been featured on numerous radio shows, including: "Coast to Coast AM,” with Art Bell, "Unity FM,” with Mindy Audlin, X Zone Radio and TV with Rob McConnell. His quantum tapping techniques have been featured on programs such as ABC’s, "The View,” and also on the Learning Channel’s, "I Can Make You Thin”. To date, he has taught over 14,000 people how to manifest the life of their dreams through his workshops and seminars across the country, which has led him to his latest break-through DVD, "Tap Into Bliss”

| | New Class Series: Lessons in Truth
|
| Begins Tue, Feb 25
7:00 PM
Café
Want to learn more about Unity? This is the class for that!
Join Associate Minister, Judy Tafelski, for a new class series, Lessons in Truth, based on the same title of the book by Dr. H. Emilie Cady. Lessons in Truth and the Bible are Unity’s two primary textbooks.
Unity Co-founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore published the original series of Lessons in Truth by Dr. H. Emilie Cady in Modern Thought, the origin of Unity magazine.
Renowned poet Maya Angelou, who received the first honorary doctorate presented by Unity Institute, said Lessons in Truth changed her life. Dr. Angelou was introduced to Unity while studying with a voice teacher. They met weekly to read from Lessons in Truth.
She said: “I read from a book called Lessons in Truth…’God loves me’.” Her teacher asked her to read that same line three times; on the fourth read, she read “with ferocity-forceful: God. Loves. Me.” Dr. Angelou goes on: “And, at that moment, I knew it. I knew it! I thought, ‘God? That which made bees and mountains and water? That? Loves me? Maya Angelou? Well then, there’s nothing I can’t do. I can do anything good…fifty years later, I could weep with joy at the knowledge that I am loved by Love itself.”
All Are Welcome! All UCC classes are offered on a free will love offering basis.

| | | A Keepsake Bible for Youth Ministry Students!
As soon as we have at least three school age Unity students who have attended Youth Ministry classes here at least ten times during twelve months, their teachers here will be happy to plan with their parent(s) a Sunday in which to plan to include a short ceremony during the beginning of our Sunday Worship service to honor these excellent and dedicated students with a brand new, personal keepsake New American Bible, as a lovegift from Unity Church of Clearwater, inscribed with their names and the date of the award, for their lifelong use and remembrance.
Please see our Youth Ministry Coordinator and Certified Truth Teacher, Cynthia Mackey for more information. |

| | | Heart of the House - Deb Larkin
|
| “We came. We heard. We stayed,” says Deb Larkin of her 2015 introduction to UCC. Her father, then a snowbird, often walked by the church and suggested they try it. “We saw Janet Whedon (a teacher, whose classroom had been next to Deb’s) playing the drums. Leddy’s teaching, not preaching, resonated with both Dad and me. She grounded us and gave us peace.”
Deb would later find the mid-week prayer and meditation service with Judy “just the boost” she needed. She also enjoyed the camraderie with members on Service Saturdays, and, last March organized a successful bingo benefit night at Hamburger Mary’s in St. Petersburg. Now, she is “humbled” to be a candidate for Unity’s Board of Directors.
Born and raised in Norristown, PA, Deb lived there until she and her wife Carla moved to Florida in 2009. Coming to a warmer climate was easy and she wanted to be involved in her two-year-old nephew’s life, having cared for him over a holiday break. Carla was hired as a CFO for a non-profit, and Deb, a retired health and physical education teacher, became a prevention specialist at Morgan Fitzgerald Middle School.

| | | “When there is world-wide belief in financial depression, lack of circulation, stagnation, things do not go as we expect and we develop fear, a belief in lack of circulation of money. But if we know the law, we do not come under this fear thought. At any time many persons make money; they use this law and take advantage of opportunity. We should bless everything that we have, for we can increase and multiply what we have by speaking words. Jesus said that His words were spirit and life. Did you ever think that your word is charged with great spiritual life force? It is. Be careful of your words. Man shall be held accountable for this lightest word. If you talk about substance in a negative way, your finances will be decreased, but if you talk about it in an appreciative, large way, you will be prospered.”
(Charles Fillmore Cofounder of the Unity Movement in Prosperity [1936] -- Lesson Three: Faith in the Invisible Substance, the Key to Demonstration). |
| Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
“I KNOW THE PROSPERITY LAW, SO I SPEAK ABOUT MY FINANCES IN A LARGE, APPRECIATIVE WAY, AND I AM PROSPERED.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
