| Construction Update . . . |
|
|
The silt barrier has gone up around the property. That's the first step in getting ready for site development. We're on the way :-)
Construction fencing has been installed around the entire property this week! For the time being, we will only have access to the east entrance and east parking lot on Sundays.
As construction moves along, the parking may shift to another area. We're unsure if that will happen early in the project or later, but we'll endeavor to keep you up to date here in our eNews and with announcements on Sundays.
Also, in the coming weeks, we'll be seeing several trees coming down. While this may seem frustrating, it's necessary, and we're assured that news trees will be planted to replace the ones that had to be displaced. We are imagining our beautiful new church!

| This Sunday: How to Feed the Multitudes |
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Attitude of Gratitude” by Richard Mekdeci & Marshal Stern:
“I’ve got an attitude of gratitude …. I thank the universe for each new day ….
In any situation, time or place, my grateful heart creates a state of grace….
Now there’s not any place where I don’t see heaven’s blessings pouring down on me….
I’m finding pleasure in the simple things. It doesn’t matter what tomorrow brings….
…. It wasn’t until I gave up and got still, I could see all the gifts I’ve been given.”
“When Jesus fed the hungry multitude, He did it with a grateful attitude.
Although it looked like there was not enough, He thanked His Father for abundant love.” |

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!

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.

“Jesus fed the multitude from the substance idea in Divine Mind. The multitude numbered five thousand plus. The visible resources were five small loaves and two little fishes . . . . Jesus recognized the loaves and fishes as symbols of the abundance of omnipresence, the unfailing substance and rich ideas of increase. He did not allow the inadequate outer supply to blind His vision to realize God’s all-providing essence everywhere present and instantly available as [our] all sufficiency in all things.… He had faith in this all-providing resource, as well as faith that His thought and spoken word could accomplish what was necessary to feed the multitude…. The ‘breaking of bread’ signifies constant prayer and affirmation. Jesus’ keeping His attention on God as the source of the supply implies constant blessing” (Unity Correspondence School Annotations to Christian Healing, by Charles Fillmore, ca. 1950). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
”I HAVE FAITH IN THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALL-PROVIDING SUBSTANCE OF GOD TO MEET EVERY OUTER DEMAND.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
