Our building permit continues to move through the review process with the building department and we believe we should have their comments anytime now. 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.
Roadwork and clearing the church lot are continuing. Seeing progress each week!

| This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - There Are Moments |
|
Inspired by lyrics of the song There Are Moments, by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Harold Payne
The first breath of the morning whispers in my ear:
‘You've got it all inside you.’ I open my heart and it appears!
Even in an ordinary day in an ordinary life, there's beauty all around me when I look up to see it. I don’t want to miss the rainbows!
There are moments, there are moments, where magic happens unexpectedly.
There are moments, precious moments, where the wonder of the world is all I see. |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Enter the temple gates with praise, its courts with thanksgiving. Give thanks to God, bless his name; good indeed is the LORD, whose love endures forever, whose faithfulness lasts through every age” (Ps. 100).
May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit.
May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way.
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it.
May the light of love be with you every day. -David Roth, May the Light of Love

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!
