View this email online if it doesn't display correctly This Sunday @ UCC: Joy Rising - Leddy Hammock When you think of Jesus, do you mentally “see” Him sad and suffering? Pictures of Jesus smiling or laughing are fairly new in worldwide Christian culture. Most people have gotten used to a serious, somber Savior. Yet, for the first three centuries of Christianity, Jesus was most often portrayed as serene, young, happy Good Shepherd. Only twice do the writers of the Gospels mention that ‘Jesus wept.” What if that is because the gentle Master was most often so full of joy that He smiled and laughed easily. When you think of the real Jesus, how do you see Him? Come, share that joy rising in your heart here at Unity on Easter morning! Class: In the Beginning.... Wed, Mar 16 - Apr 20 7:30 PM Café Are you curious about the Bible? Is the Bible opinion or Truth? What do you believe? Was Daniel really in the lion’s den? Did Noah build an ark? To explore answers to these questions and more, join The Reverend Grace DeBella for a new class titled, “In the Beginning…” This Old Testament study is based on the belief of Unity Co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, that the Bible is to be individually interpreted and personally applied. Everyone is welcome to join in our journey us as we get in shape spiritually, renew our minds, and explore how our Bible helps us answer, “What do I believe?” Love offerings are appreciated, but no one is turned away on account of funds. The class fulfills the Bible requirement for those seeking Prayer Chaplaincy! To be perfectly centered for the class, plan to attend the Wednesday evening Prayer and Meditation Service at 7:00!

Slightly more than a year after, we found it necessary, as did the UU Church across the street, to return to one Sunday service after having had two services each Sunday for more than 30 years. A few years ago, our Board of Directors at that time advised that a claim regarding BP Oil be filed with an attorney. We do not know if there will be any results of that claim or not. But at this time, we are asking that if anyone here has been a supporter of this ministry for more than five years, and feels that his/her attendance, contributions, were impacted because his or her own finances were impacted, directly or indirectly, by the Gulf Oil Spill, s/he should definitely share the personal account with me or Russ in person, on the phone, or by mail or email asap. info@unityofclearwater.org - russ@unityofclearwater.org - 727-531-0992 Prosperit-E-mail # 327 “A world-renowned sociologist once conducted research studies at Harvard University on the power of love. Under his direction, a staff of scientists studied the subject of love. Their findings were that love, like other good things, can be produced deliberately by human beings. They stated that there is no reason why we cannot learn to generate love as we do other natural forces. Thus there is no reason for you to feel disillusioned or disappointed if love has seemingly let you down or passed you by. Those who bitterly declare that their lives are without love are mistakenly looking to someone or something outside themselves for love. Begin realizing now that love is first within you and can be released through your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. As you begin developing love from within outward, you are truly proving your method to be spiritual, scientific, and satisfying. You no longer feel at the mercy of people, situations, and conditions. You become master of your world and free from hurt, fear, disappointment, and disillusionment.” (Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966] Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation: THROUGH THE POWER OF LOVE, I ENJOY LIFE, UNHURT, UNAFRAID, UNDAUNTED, FOR I AM HAPPY, AND FREE.
