Unity Construction Updates in weekly eNews and Sundays:
We give thanks in advance for wonderful outcomes for all concerned as the construction plans begin to gain momentum on campus.
Soon the fence on the east side of the building by the café entrance will be moved to the back of the building to free up parking spaces along that side of the church.
We're so very grateful for everyone's patience with parking, etc as we go through this process!
Our neighbors at the Dhamma Wheel Meditation Society continue so cheerfully to loan us their water through a hose to run UCC's plumbing until ours is fixed (see the red arrows, above). We've been assured that the water lines should be fixed this week and we give thanks in advance.
Let's show our appreciation to DWMS by contributing household paper goods and cleaning supplies and paper goods in our lobby to be given to our wonderful neighbors by Sat. Nov. 19, the day of their Robing Day (see below). Thanks!
Thanks to the faithfulness of so many loving folks, we see our Church lovingly sustained through the autumn months while new beginnings take form.
Love and light, Leddy & Russ and Everyone at UCC!

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Room for Grace |
|
Inspired by “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley):
When I stumble, I won’t be defeated, since I make room for grace.
I stop resisting. I make room for grace.
I just step aside, open up a space, and make room for grace.
Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace. |
|
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words: “Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:1-5).
Perfect answers take form as I keep a good and grateful attitude. |

We don't have a mask mandate at UCC. In the meantime, we encourage vaccination for those who are eligible and we're grateful when folks kindly wear masks when near others indoors for now.
We look forward to reforming an exciting, magnetic Nursery and Pre-K and a fun, welcoming Fellowship gathering time in the beautiful new space when our new facility is ready. As always, we believe we will will all get through this together.

|
| For now, let's do fist or elbow bumps and Namaste instead of hugs! |

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 will begin 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 |
|
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!

Thursdays 12:00 PM Zoom
Let's get together and chat!
Co-president of our Board, Deb Larkin, is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.

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.

Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

"Grace received ... brings speedily, the 'outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.' Quickly, in perfect ways, it finishes unfinished facts.... Don't 'face the facts.' Face Grace" (Chrichton Russ Boatright, Unity Minister in 1948, The Master Key to Every Kingdom). |
