As we get new information we'll keep you up to date here in our eNews and with announcements on Sundays. The City of Clearwater approved the replat of the property last year and the sale of the property was completed in January. The construction fencing was ordered to come down until a new traffic study is done; the prescribed car-counting phase has been completed by the company assigned to do the study and now we await updated drawings and another approval by the City of Clearwater. (We have more parking space for a while!) Permitting for the new construction should follow soon after the new traffic study is approved by the City, all in divine order.
Meantime, join us at 11:00 AM on Sunday mornings in person or by livestream!

Our Unity Family is delighted and grateful for the generous gift by UCC Member, Ed Marinacci of eight beautiful new sconces for the planned Unity Chapel (about the same size as our current Sanctuary) to be built for us in the coming months!
We are thrilled with these stylish sconces, that happen to go
beautifully with the three chandeliers (pictured below) we are envisioning for the peaked
ceiling in that beautiful space.
Anyone who wants to make a special
contribution to the purchase of the chandeliers can do so at any time.
The chandeliers are now available at the cost of about $550
each.
We give thanks in advance that the funds are now manifesting to
illuminate our Unity Chapel! |

This Sunday: Who We Become - Sue Riley
|
|
|
Highlights inspired by “Who You Become” by Sue Riley and Jana Stanfield:
We keep our eyes on the prize, but don’t fret if we stray,
because the most important thing is who we become along the way.
It’s how we love, how we live, how we laugh, how we give.
Yes, the most important thing is who we become along the way.

If you haven't heard Sue present a Sunday lesson before, you're in for a real treat! Sue is in demand at churches all over the country as a speaker and musician. We are so blessed to have Sue with us!

We don't have a mask mandate at UCC. However, because UCC is pro-children and pro-families, we are encouraging vaccination for those who are eligible and asking folks to wear masks when near others indoors.
We are pausing our Pre-K childcare and nursery for the time being, in the interest of safety and well-being for all. We will all get through this together. |
|
| For now, let's do fist or elbow bumps and Namaste instead of hugs! |

New Class: The Universe is Calling with The Rev Judy Tafelski
|
|
Tuesdays
7:00 PM
Zoom
Join Associate Minister, Judy Tafelski, for another inspiring class based on Eric Butterworth's book, The Universe is Calling.
From the Publisher:
In his much-beloved classic, The Universe is Calling, Eric Butterworth, Unity minister and acclaimed author of Discover the Power Within You, offers
a non-theological, non-ritualistic guide to prayer for contemporary
seekers of guidance, wholeness, and self-regulation. The call of the
universe, Butterworth explains, is the call to, “take charge of your
life, to release your imprisoned splendor.” His spiritually liberating
wisdom is powerful and inspiring, and it will lead readers to a truer
and stronger connection with the divine.
All are welcome to join the class!

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 |
|
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!

Board Member & President of Hospitality, Deb Larkin is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.

“Step by step, thought added to thought, spiritual emotion added to spiritual emotion — eventually the transformation is complete. It does not come in a day, but every high impulse, every pure thought, every upward desire adds to the exaltation and gradual personification of the divine in man and to the transformation of the human. The "old man" is constantly brought into subjection, and his deeds forever put off, as the "new man" appears” (Charles Fillmore, Atom-Smashing Power of Mind). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“STEP BY STEP, THOUGHT BY THOUGHT, SPIRITUAL EMOTION TO SPIRITUAL EMOTION, I AM IN THE WONDERFUL PROCESS OF BECOMING!"
THANK YOU, GOD! |
