This Sunday @ UCC:
Lesson Title: Stable Christmas
|
|
Stables, by Peter Mayer
In Bethlehem a manger waits, long ago and so today,
Where hatred-weary people pray Love will come and lay there.
And so do countless stables stand in hearts as harsh as desert lands,
Rough shelters in the wind and sand, so Love will come and stay there –.
Love that opens fists of hate, heaps of gold on beggars’ plates,
Love that shows a kindly face to enemies and strangers.
And walls of stables tremble so when winds of fear and judgment blow.
For a stable hopes in Love alone and knows that Love’s the answer.
Oh, Love, the prophets’ only word, the only lesson left to learn,
The only end of heaven’s work, and the only road that goes there —
Love that sees with mercy’s eyes, holds its arms out open wide,
Threads its loom with separate lives and weaves them all together.
So, may the lamps of stables glow brightly lit that light may go
for miles in the darkness, so Love will find its way there. |

All Unity Folks are welcome to take part!
Step aside from the hectic season for an evening of togetherness. A time shared with all our family is a beautiful way to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Eve candle lighting services at Unity are a time of family and community, and a beautiful way to remember the true meaning of Christmas — that Christ is born anew in you.
The service begins with our music ministry and ends as we leave in silence, centered in the true spirit of Christmas!
See you on Christmas Eve as we share the light together! |

Located on the north side of the Sanctuary there are two walkways to the labyrinth. The walkways are laid with beautiful brick pavers that can be engraved in honor or remembrance of loved ones.
There is also a special walk, called the Rainbow Bridge, near Peace Pond for memorializing beloved pets.
Purchase an engraved brick to . . .

An engraved brick in Unity Church of Clearwater’s Prayer Walk is a beautiful expression of remembrance and your legacy here is LOVE!
A love offering of $75 is requested per brick.

| | | FRANKINCENSE – GIFT OF THE MASTER TEACHER
“Jesus Christ was the Master Teacher of prosperity. His entire life demonstrated His interest in the subject. Even at His birth the Wise Men [Magi] from the East blessed Him with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These rich gifts symbolized the rich attitudes that we all have to give and receive.
Gold is a precious metal, symbolic of prosperity and plenty . . .
Frankincense is a gum that is burned as an incense. It produces a pleasant aroma, a pleasant atmosphere. Whenever you do anything to produce pleasantness and beauty, either for yourself or for others, you are giving the Wise Mens’ gift of frankincense. If, for instance, you view some area that [could use] greater beauty, quietly affirm for it: ‘You are now blessed with pleasantness and beauty, in the name of Jesus Christ.’
A news reporter began to study Truth; and as she trained her mind to dwell more and more upon the goodness of God and [hu]man[kind], she began to desire beautiful surroundings. Realizing this to be her divine heritage as a child of God, she began to bless the building in which she worked. For months she daily affirmed for the walls, furnishings, and equipment in this building: ‘You are now blessed with pleasantness and beauty, in the name of Jesus Christ.’
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
