Lesson Title: - Room for Grace
|
|
On Sundays We've Started Streaming at 10:45 To See If We Can Get a Little Headstart on the Church Internet Traffic
|

This weeks lesson 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.

Requested from this Past Sunday: Leddy's Adaptation of The Prayer of St Francis
|
|
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace on earth.
Where there is scarcity, let me sow security;
Where there is desolation, restoration;
Where there is woe, wisdom;
Where there is futility, fertility;
Where there is deprivation, distribution;
And where there is waste, well-being.
O Divine Master, grant that we may
not so much seek to consume as to console,
to ruin as to renew,
to withhold as to share willingly.
For it is in good stewardship that we see the deserts bloom,
and it is in mindfulness that we express our true dominion.
In practicing peace, let us inherit the earth
and tenderly preserve it for generations yet to come.
Amen. |

This Week's Kind Words from Linda Ciston
|
|
"I recharge when I attend and watch online (but in person is better).
Will miss the camaraderie but looking forward to the reopening and to the lessons that Leddy and others will give." |

In recent week's a frequent question has been: "what's the best way to send an offering to the church?"
We're checking mail every day, so checks sent through the mail are fine as are checks sent from your bank's online bill pay.
If you feel led you might consider setting up an automatic recurring donation. This can be done through your banks 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. The fees are a small percentage (3&-4%) of the total donation, however there is an option to cover fees that you may select if you feel so inclined. Every little bit helps and we're grateful if you decide to turn that option on.

UCC & The Prosperity Principles
|
|
There's also some info there about this little guy.
Please
notice that from the time when the Unity work began in Clearwater in
1941 through the present, through changes and challenges of many kinds, our Church has neither sent out financial appeals nor issued pledges. According to our faith, it is being done.
UCC is much more than just a building. It is a spiritual consciousness!
We intend to go on, though that will no doubt take intentional effort
to create new ways of being together and continuing to live out the
mission and ministry of our beloved community.
Thank
you for your commitment and generous support for UCC – during these
challenging times and always. We see you serenely sheltered and richly
prospered in every beautiful way! |

Mary Quintero Shares Her Art with Us

"Grace is forgiveness on a grand scale. Last night I painted this. It's Grace.
When the walls are closing in, and chaos abounds Grace comes pouring in and wipes the slate clean. Puts out the fires and brings light back into the darkened places of our awareness." -- Mary Quintero
Also, look for Mary and daughter Sophia in the incredible new video from Daniel Nahmod and Nimo Patel.

| “GRACE -- Good will; favor; disposition to show mercy; aid from God in the process of regeneration . . . . ‘Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17); that is, the real saving, redeeming, transforming power came to man[kind] through the work that Jesus did in establishing for the race a new and higher consciousness in the earth. We can enter into this consciousness by faith in Him and by means of the inner spirit of the law that He taught and practiced.” – Charles Fillmore, The Revealing Word. |
