Each week we'll endeavor to keep you up to date here in our eNews and with announcements on Sundays.
This past week barriers were installed to protect the trees that are being kept. The City of Clearwater arborist was on site inspecting the work and offered a few suggestions that are being implemented. After one more inspection this week it's expected that the site development permit will be approved.
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 healthy new trees will be planted to replace the ones that had to be displaced. In the fullness of time, there will be a way for interested folks to donate plantings for our new gardens.

This Sunday: How to Walk on Water
|
|
|
Lyric/poem inspired by “Leap of Faith” by Sue Riley (words by Sue Riley and Leddy Hammock):
Long before the morning, not yet light enough to see,
Darkest before the dawning, Your love can still find me.
When the wind’s against my vessel and the seas are tempest-tossed,
I see You walking on the water. I hear You calling me across to make a leap of faith.
Well, You know that I have been wandering—uncertain choices I’ve made
And that always gets me to wondering. You tell me, “Don’t be afraid!”
I’ll find the faith to believe, when the winds are too strong,
That You hold onto me, when I can’t hold on.
When the deep is dark beneath me and the waves leap high and rough
You stretch out Your hand to reach me, when my faith’s not enough.
I know I can change my thinking and turn my life around,
For, when I felt like I was sinking, I heard, “Why did you look down? Take a leap of faith!” |

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!

If you feel led you might consider setting up an automatic recurring donation. This can be done through your bank's bill pay or on the Church's donation form.
We've also been asked about the processing fees the church has to pay when the online form is used. The fees are a small percentage (3&-4%) of the total donation, however there is an option to cover fees that you may select if you feel so inclined. Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

“Peter started to walk on the water in spiritual faith, but when he saw the effects of the wind, he was afraid and began to sink. Then the ‘I AM’ Presence (Jesus) gave its hand of spiritual power, the wind ceased, and there was no longer any doubt of faith's ability to rise above the negative consciousness” (Charles Fillmore, Twelve Powers.) |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I RISE FAITHFULLY ABOVE DOUBT JUST AS THE DISCIPLE PETER WALKED CONFIDENTLY ACROSS THE WATERS, BY HOLDING FAST TO THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
