We
are so grateful that CBS & TBI have graciously welcomed us to
present our Sunday services there. Meantime, the Discovery Academy has
remodeled our former sanctuary and will welcome us to use it on Sunday
mornings, once they receive their certificate of occupancy.

We recently got word from Principal Akbaba that he has reason to expect the partial certificate of occupancy for the Discovery Academy soon (by the end of April or May) whereupon we should be able to open the gates of our former worship space & bring our Sunday services back to the campus. Watch our eNews for updates!
We look forward to the City’s green light for approval of our construction permits so we can begin to build our new Church home.
We will never forget the kindness of our dear neighbors at Congregation Beth Shalom, which has been such a welcoming House of Peace for Unity and at the lovely Temple B’nai Israel, who also have graciously hosted us, as well as the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater on several occasions.
We'll be at TBI again this Easter Sunday.
The path has certainly been long & challenging, but we have held together & we’ll finish strong!
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 glad to welcome new friends on Sundays!
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it! |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Rise |
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Rise” by Faith Rivera - We rise as one! :
I close my eyes, I open my heart. I take a deep breath, let the healing start.
I lift my hands. I plant my feet. I let love in, I feel the beat that’s calling us to rise!
I ready my soul. I clear my mind. I’m here and now in present time.
I feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
No turning back, onward to Promised Land!
We feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.
Love’s calling out my name. Love’s calling – that’s why we came! Rise up!
Reach for the sky! Going up high, Love is alive. We’re bringing the light! |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Let everything that has breath give praise to the LORD! Hallelujah!“ (Ps. 150”6).
Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today! |

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!
