"A Child Would Know" by Leddy Hammock
"How would you know?" a child was asked, "If while you were at play,
With several children, new to you, you heard a whisper say:
'One of these is the Holy child, the Christ Child, come again,
To see if you would recognize your wise and gentle Friend--
Who might appear as boy or girl, with unexpected looks,
With hair and skin and clothes unlike the Christ Child seen in books.'
The child was still a moment, then looked up and smiled to say:
"Of course I'd know the Holy Child. I'd know that right away.
The way that Child treats others, taking turns and playing fair;
The way the Child is kind and good--I'd know that anywhere.
The way the Child would make me feel--I'd be so glad to show
The Christ Child on the playground--
someone any child would know." |
|
|
| Since Christmas Eve & New Year’s Eve will be hosted by our friends Congregation Beth Shalom, our serene and meaningful holiday services will be presented at the morning service. Please bring friends and families, for all are welcome! |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was” (Mt. 2:9).
Let Truth, love, and healing shine in all our faces. |

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!

"A great idea of what Christmas symbolizes is the rebirth of light into the world, awakening people to their own dynamic potential. At the time of the Winter Solstice is that point where the sun is farthest away from the earth and there are more hours of darkness than any other time of the year .... In the time of our greatest darkness, in the midst of our troubles and tribulations ... we open our consciousness to a celebration, a new light" (Eric Butterworth, NYC Unity, ca. 1975). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"LET US BEHOLD THE LIGHT OF DIVINE POTENTIAL SHINING WITHIN OTHERS AND ALSO LET OUR OWN LIGHT SHINE TO ILLUMINE OUR WORLD WITH PEACE."
