| As we get new information we'll keep you up to date here in our eNews and with announcements on Sundays. The City of Clearwater has already approved the replat of the property
and the sale of the property is completed.
The construction fencing was
ordered to come down until a new traffic study is completed, to smooth
out details of the plan. (At least, we will have more parking on
Sundays for a while!)
Permitting can be issued for the new construction
to begin as soon as the traffic study is approved by the City. We are
affirming that divine order and harmony are now established.
Meantime,
we are leasing our present space and grateful for all who can join us
for Sunday services, either in person or on Zoom! We know how to
Hallalujah, and we are learning how to rise again! |

This Sunday: How to Bless the Earth
|
|
 |
Inspired by lyrics to “A New Earth” by Jill Colucci, Harold Payne, and JD Martin:
“Trying to hold it together when it feels like it’s falling apart…. We can’t hide forever. We’ve got to figure it out—a new earth, a new dawn, a new way to move on, a new dream, deep in our hearts, we need it now, some way, somehow, now more than ever, we need a new earth.
Are we willing to give and take, to reach across a great divide, we’ve got to stand on some common ground to survive. If we pull together, imagine all that we can create, a new earth, a new dawn, a new way to move on, a new dream, deep in our hearts, we need it now, someway, somehow, now more than ever, we need a new earth.
I can hear the children cryin’ now, ‘Oh, won’t you help us save our future now?’
So let your healing rain fall from the clouds, a new earth, a new dawn, a new way to move on, a new hope, deep in our hearts, we need it now, some way, somehow, now more than ever, we need a new earth. Now more than ever, we’ll build it together, a new earth.” |

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! |

New Class: The Universe is Calling with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
Tuesdays beginning May 3
7:00 PM
Zoom
Join Associate Minister, Judy Tafelski, for another inspiring class based on Eric Butterworth's book, The Universe is Calling.
From the Publisher:
In his much-beloved classic, The Universe is Calling, Eric Butterworth, Unity minister and acclaimed author of Discover the Power Within You, offers
a non-theological, non-ritualistic guide to prayer for contemporary
seekers of guidance, wholeness, and self-regulation. The call of the
universe, Butterworth explains, is the call to, “take charge of your
life, to release your imprisoned splendor.” His spiritually liberating
wisdom is powerful and inspiring, and it will lead readers to a truer
and stronger connection with the divine.
All are welcome to join the class!

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!

“’Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth’ …. Jesus was primarily considering spiritual things, and we all know that meekness mentally opens the door to the inflow of ideas of all kinds. For instance, the inventor …. must make his[her] mind receptive to new ideas, . . . by assuming a state of mental meekness…. Albert Einstein says it is his experience that great ideas come after he has relaxed and ceased from strenuous search for his objective. It is this meek or receptive mind that invites God ideas that [we] can use and that makes [us] possessor of the ‘earth’ or real substance” (Eric Butterworth, Discover the Power within You). |
