This Sunday: How to Be Centered in the Storm
|
|
|
Lyrics to “Centered in the Storm” by Richard Mekdeci, Karen Taylor-Good & Richard Patier”
“I close my eyes and calm my soul, I feel the Truth within me and I let It take control.
… I’m centered in the storm and I know I’m not alone,
The thunder is the voice of God leading me home.
When I’m centered in the storm where it’s always safe and warm,
I see a beacon in the night keeping me centered in the storm ....
Fed by the love that exists in all creation and I will never drift off course.
Faith is my anchor and God is my Source.... and set adrift upon this changing sea,
I’m right where I’m supposed to be ....” |

We don't have a mask mandate at UCC. However, because UCC is pro-children and pro-families, we are encouraging vaccination for those who are eligible and asking folks to wear masks when near others indoors.
We are pausing our Pre-K childcare and nursery for the time being, in the interest of safety and well-being for all. We will all get through this together. |
|
| For now, let's do fist or elbow bumps and Namaste instead of hugs! |

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!

Wednesday Evening "Faith Lift" Meditation Service |
|
Wednesdays 7:00 PM Livestream Only
Prayer is the foundation of the Unity movement and of Unity Church of Clearwater.
The Wednesday evening service features guided meditation, music, silence, and prayer.
Meditation
is the process of listening to the “still, small voice” of God within
us. Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought and
includes the release of negative thinking as well as holding in mind
statements of spiritual truth. The contemplative nature of entering into
the silence allows people of like mind to share the power of sitting in
the silence together.
We invite you to join us! This is an
opportunity to raise the consciousness of oneness that is at the core of
our Unity teachings.
Let us lift our consciousness to new heights through prayer and meditation, and help heal ourselves and our world!

“When Jesus says, ‘Follow me,’ He means to get yourself on a spiritual wavelength and follow him in the experience of overcoming and freedom. Because you see, only in consciousness can we ever be in bondage. Only in consciousness can we ever really in lack, ever really be in deep trouble. It follows that only by changing consciousness can one find true freedom and the truth is that if you do change your consciousness, you can set into operation a flow of events and circumstances of actual substance to change the conditions of your life no matter what happens around you…. We become even more centered in the deep-centered peace within, then we become a part of the cause for good in the world—part of the solution” (Eric Butterworth, The Highway to Freedom podcast, ca 1975). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I AM CENTERED AND POISED IN THE CHRIST MIND AND NOTHING CAN DISTURB THE CALM PEACE OF MY SOUL.”
