This Sunday @ UCC:
When It's Hard to Be Grateful - Leddy Hammock
|
|
(inspired by lyrics by Tim Burnaman):
I give thanks, even when I do not know what the future will be like:, even when I don’t understand why things can seem so difficult, even when I have to go in a new direction.
The more I give thanks, even when it’s hard to be grateful, the more blessings I see:
“Here and now, I am free. I go inside peacefully. Where I look, let there be blessings here for me. Blessings here I see.
Breathe in and out, soft and slow. At this time I let go. Where I look, let there be blessings here for me. Blessings here I see.
All on a journey on our way, different paths here today. Where I look, let there be blessings here for me. Blessings here I see.
Here and now, I am free I go inside peacefully. Where I look let there be blessings here for me. Blessings here I see.” |

| | Transgender Day of Remembrance Service
|
| Sun, Nov 20
12:00 PM
Sanctuary
This year again on November 20 (Sunday), on the International Transgendered Day of Remembrance -- as we have done every year on Nov. 20 for more than a decade, we will gather at noon here at Unity to read the names of all those who have been reported, the world over, to have lost their lives due to violence concerning their expression as transgendered.
All are welcome to this simple yet powerful gathering that will last about 20-30 minutes.
Many of these souls were "unidentified," yet we gather to make a statement together that their lives matter and together, we are affirming a wiser and kinder future for our world.
Join us as we remember and grow in understanding |

| | | | | November Heart of the House - Bob Preston
|
| In his long tenure as a member and volunteer at Unity Church of Clearwater, Bob Preston has amassed very meaningful recollections. He and his wife Dorothea, who made her transition on July 8, 2015, first came to UCC in 1972. Bob, with his son Rick, occupies last row left every Sunday morning.
Bob served on Unity’s Board of Directors three times. It was he who first encouraged Leddy Hammock to “put her hat in the ring” when the church was looking for a new minister. He fondly recalls seeing the success of his idea to construct a church addition for Sunday School rooms. Bob remembers, too, the influence of Associate Minister Mary Powell who would read Daily Word first as written and a second time, using the plural form of the first person pronoun. Bob still reads Daily Word that way, considering “we” more inclusive than “I.”

| | | SEE NO EVIL
“The description of evil doubles the appearance of evil. Whatever of evil you see in others, you are inviting into your own life in some form of negation. When you ‘run down’ someone else with your criticism and condemnation, you are opening the way for your own mind, body, or affairs to become ‘run down’ with ill health, unhappiness, confusion, or financial lack.”
(Catherine Ponder in The Prospering Power of Love [Unity School of Christianity, 1966]
Your Weekly Prosperity Affirmation:
I DOUBLE THE APPEARANCE OF WHOLENESS, HAPPINESS, CLARITY, AND PROSPERITY IN MY LIFE THROUGH PERSISTENT PRAISE.
THANK YOU, GOD!
