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 - Spirit on the Move
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Spirit Move!” by Denise Rosier:
There is no holding back the power in this room right now,
Rising up as a force of love so high it can’t come down.
Every soul is a soul on fire Burning bright with the Light of Life
Here we are open wide; there’s no place we can hide
Like a river deep and, rolling out like a mighty flood,
Love’s filling every heart and pouring out of us.
Feel it breaking down the walls, building everybody up.
It’s taking over now; there’s no way it can stop.
Spirit move everything. Spirit move in the space between. Spirit move. |
|
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
Love’s calling out my name. Love’s calling – that’s why we came!
Rise up! Love is alive. We rise as one! |

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!

“The same transcendent spirit that moved through Jesus Christ moves in and through each one of us. The living Christ spirit inspires and blesses each one of us. Jesus, who lived historically, out-pictured the spirit of Christ that lives in us….a strong positive consciousness …. He practiced the presence and power of God until his atmosphere was entirely charged with vital, living, eternal ideas. Let this transcendent, victorious spirit, which was in Christ Jesus, rise up in you now and be with you forever” (May Rowland, Director of Silent Unity for 55 years). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“THE LIVING CHRIST SPIRIT THAT MOVED THROUGH JESUS NOW MOVES THROUGH ME TO BLESS MY WORLD.”
