Our building permit continues to move through the review process with the building department and we believe we should have their comments in the next couple of weeks. We trust that any additional info they require will be minimal. Our contractor, Bill Botelho is working on securing bids so he can get right to work when the permit is issued.
The required road construction and parking lot paving has begun and is expected to take about seven weeks.

This Sunday: Carol Record - Still Yourself
|
|
Inspired by lyrics to “Still Yourself” by Richard Mekdeci and Mario Friedel
“Your path is true. There’s a guiding light that shines inside of you.”
“Still yourself. Still yourself. In the silence you will find your way.”
“Still yourself. Still yourself. Still yourself and heal yourself.
The strength you seek is just a breath away.”
“Strength flows from stillness like a fountain,
Like a mountain against the sky.” I am still and I am strong. |
|
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“He…said to the sea, ‘Hush, be still,’ And the wind died down and it became perfectly
calm” (Mt. 4:39).
Set adrift on this changing sea, I’m right where I’m supposed to be. |

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 with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
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!

“God is the ‘still small voice’ in every soul that heals and blesses and uplifts, and it is only through the soul that He is made manifest as perfect wholeness. . . . That ‘still small voice’ at the center of our being does not command what we shall be or what we shall do or not do. It is so gentle and still in its work that in the hurly-burly of life we overlook it entirely . . . . We must drop the complex and find the simplicity . . . before we can know God.” (Charles Fillmore, Jesus Christ Heals, p. 27-8). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.”
