This Sunday @ UCC:
Time to Heal - Leddy Hammock
|
|
I accept my healing through whatever means, whether it happens instantly or takes however long it takes.
I am in the healing mode, right now!
No matter how long I have suffered, I know that I have enough faith to reach out and accept my healing.
No matter how helpless I feel or long I have felt this way, I am ready to be set free.
No more waiting for permission. It is time for me to claim my healing. |
| Don't Be Late this Sunday!
|
| Clocks spring forward this Sunday, so get to bed early and don't be late for (or miss!) church!
We'll be looking for you!

Wed, Mar 16 - Apr 20
7:30 PM
Café
Are you curious about the Bible? Is the Bible opinion or Truth? What do you believe? Was Daniel really in the lion’s den? Did Noah build an ark?
To explore answers to these questions and more, join The Reverend Grace DeBella for a new class titled, “In the Beginning…”
This Old Testament study is based on the belief of Unity Co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, that the Bible is to be individually interpreted and personally applied. We will use the text, Let There Be Light by Elizabeth Sand Turner (who served Unity as educational director of the ministerial school and who ministered in Unity churches in both Tennessee and Florida). Turner is best known as the author of the trilogy of books that metaphysically (allegorically) interprets the Bible: Let There Be Light (1954), Your Hope of Glory (1959) and Be Ye Transformed (1969). (Additional handouts will be made available.)
Everyone is welcome to join in our journey us as we get in shape spiritually, renew our minds, and explore how our Bible helps us answer, “What do I believe?” Love offerings are appreciated, but no one is turned away on account of funds.
The class fulfills the Bible requirement for those seeking Prayer Chaplaincy!
To be perfectly centered for the class, plan to attend the Wednesday evening Prayer and Meditation Service at 7:00!

| | | | | Heart of the House: Trina Anderson
|
|  |
In 1994, a job transfer brought Florida native Trina Anderson to Clearwater or Tampa from Atlanta where she had worked with Xerox. Following another transfer request to Dallas in 2001, she chose to change employment and stay in Florida. Her parents live in the Cape Canaveral area. There, her mother attends Unity, and in late 1998, Trina consulted the yellow pages looking for a Unity church. She has been a regular attendee at UCC ever since.
Born in New Smyrna, Trina graduated from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green with a degree in Spanish and History. In her sophomore year, summer study in Madrid enriched her fluency in Spanish. Throughout her employment history, Trina has seldom experienced the opportunity to apply the focus of her majors. One exception, perhaps the favorite of all the positions she’s held, occurred after she married her college boyfriend and moved with him to Lafayette, LA, where a job offer awaited him. It was there, where she lived for eight years, that she loved her work as a social worker for the state of Louisiana.

| | | The Gulf Oil Spill happened in April of 2010.
Slightly more than a year after, we found it necessary, as did the UU Church across the street, to return to one Sunday service after having had two services each Sunday for more than 30 years.
A few years ago, our Board of Directors at that time advised that a claim regarding BP Oil be filed with an attorney.
We do not know if there will be any results of that claim or not. But at this time, we are asking that if anyone here has been a supporter of this ministry for more than five years, and feels that his/her attendance, contributions, were impacted because his or her own finances were impacted, directly or indirectly, by the Gulf Oil Spill, s/he should definitely share the personal account with me or Russ in person, on the phone, or by mail or email asap.

| | Welcoming our UU Neighbors
|
| When our Church building burned in 2003, the UU Church across the street welcomed us to use their space for two years during our restoration.
So, when they asked us if we could share our parking space with their folks now, naturally, we said YES!
UU welcomed Unity; Unity welcomes UU! Let’s grow together! |
| | | A women at a prayer meeting where divine love was being affirmed became convinced that a great healing had taken place among the group members. “From that night on she had a completely different feeling about the situation. She felt peaceful and harmonious. She quietly gave thanks that divine understanding had been established and that divine love had helped the previous misunderstanding and hostility. Some weeks later, though no outer change had come, she felt led to contact her friends again. This time, instead of rebuffing her, they reacted as though nothing had ever been wrong between them. The previous cordiality, understanding, and friendship were reestablished and continue even now.”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
DIVINE LOVE NOW BRINGS HARMONY AND PEACE TO ALL MY RELATIONSHIPS.
THANK YOU, GOD!
