Unity Construction Update:
We
continue to affirm that the remodeling of the present building and
the construction of the new classroom building for the Discovery Academy and
also the construction of our new Church home by Peace Pond, are progressing for the highest good of all concerned.
Please
be with us in prayer as we work to facilitate the envisioned outcome. UCC's expert attorneys feel we
have a binding
agreement in place with Southcrest Developers to build our facility
for the amount we were assured would provide our new Church Home according
to the plans that were mutually approved last Spring. We continue to
affirm that our good cannot be withheld from us and we see our new
building taking form in divine order and
timing.
We
are deeply grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of
love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition.
We are so glad to welcome a growing congregation of
friends on Sunday mornings!
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it!
Love and light, Leddy and all our UCC Family!

From the words of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together....
With this faith, we will be able . . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.... Let freedom ring!” |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Thus the word of the LORD came to me: ... I will lead you forth .... prepare yourself, be ready ...” (Ez. 38:1-7).
“Get ready, my soul. I’m divin’ in. Get ready, my soul. I’m divin’ in - to the deepest kind of love, to the sweetest kind of life. Get ready, get ready, my soul." |

Beautiful painting by longtime Unity member, well-known local artist, June Harben, whose work we love and admire. This painting illustrates the powerful thought, "Get ready, my soul, I'm divin' in . . . ." |

WINGS Book Study Group with The Rev Cynthia Mackey |
|
Tuesdays
12:00 PM Zoom
WINGS is our daytime Truth Book Study Group and is led by our UCC Minister of Education, The Reverend Cynthia Mackey.
The group includes men and women and there's always great discussion!
Make new friends, share ideas and explore Unity teachings in a supportive, positive environment!
WINGS is doing an in-depth look study of Frances Foulks’ classic New Thought book, Effectual Prayer
Frances
W. Foulks takes the reader through eight steps of prayer–from what
makes prayer effectual to actually living in the consciousness of the
Christ.
This is a timeless book, so while writing style differs
from what the contemporary reader may expect, it is like remembering
your grandmother’s advice when faced with a current problem.
Rev.
Foulks’ observations are astonishingly simple but not simplistic. In
commenting on how we ourselves limit our capacity to receive an answer
to our prayers, she says: “The answer desired when the prayer is offered
may never be manifested, for as long as we are seeking things, our
desires change with the fashions, and there is no perfect pattern for
substance to follow.”
Join WINGS for this comprehensive class and learn how to pray effectually!
Attending the WINGS group can earn credit toward becoming a UCC Prayer Chaplain. Please check with Cynthia for more info.
All are welcome to join in!

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 with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
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!
