Construction Update
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 Rise Again
Lyrics from “You Are the Light” by Denise Rosier:

“You change dust into gardens, pieces into peace, tears into fountains, chains into release.

You are doubt into action, vision renewed, perfect creation unfolding in view.

You hold all of heaven inside you, no matter what you go through and, if your dreams burn down to ashes, you rise again!

You are the Light—the Light of God, the power of prayer lifted up! Every breath testifies—You are the Light!”
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!

The Reverend Cynthia and the WINGS group are studying Lessons in Truth, which can be taken for credit in our UCC Prayer Chaplaincy program as well as for personal enrichment.

Lessons in Truth, by Dr. H. Emilie Cady, is considered Unity’s primary textbook, together with the Bible. It has proven to be of great value to Truth students at all levels of spiritual unfoldment.

EFT - Tapping Group
Tuesdays
1:30 PM
Zoom
 
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!
 
To Join:
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!

Table Talk Thursday

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.

Healing Thought # 107
“Resurrection is accomplished by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit. Every time we rise to the realization of eternal, indwelling life, making union with the Father-Mind, the resurrection of Jesus takes place within us. All thoughts of limitation and inevitable obedience to material law are left in the tomb of materiality” (Charles Fillmore, Keep a True Lent).
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
 
"IN UNITY WITH CHRIST I REALIZE THAT I AM RESURRECTED INTO THE LIFE, LIGHT, AND POWER OF GOD."
 
THANK YOU, GOD!
