We Are So Grateful!
Construction Update
The new church site has been cleared of debris and overgrown vegetation and the construction fence is ordered and should be in place the middle of January.

Contractor, Bill Botelho is now reaching out to subcontractors for bids and scheduling.

We are deeply grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition.  We're very glad to welcome old friends and new friends on Sundays on our home campus.

Our beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and divine timing and we are ready to receive it!
This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Happy New You
Lyrics to “Who You Really Are” Richard Mekdeci, Sage & Sue Riley

“I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are!

Oh, I know who you’re here to be – I see it in your eyes:
A light for the world to see – I know who you’re here to be….

Oh, I know who you really are – I see it in your eyes.
Oh, you are a shining star – I know who you really are.

I now release the limits of the past and let my light shine in this bright New Year.
Last Sunday's Shining Words:

“Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (Jn. 4:34-5).

I’m letting go of holding on. God is my Shepherd. I shall not want. I’m letting go of holding on, seeking first the kingdom of God.

New Year's Day Mini Retreat with Daniel Nahmod
New Year's Day
1:00-3:30 PM
Zoom

Through inspiring songs and stories, provocative questions, quiet time for contemplation, and opportunities for sharing, you'll take a compassionate, clarifying look at the year that's just ended... and develop an intentional, conscious vision for the year that's just begun.

Who have you become, and what have you accomplished? What dreams have come true, and what dreams remain unfulfilled? What goals might you set? What version of you do you want to see?

Take some peaceful, openhearted time to say goodbye to the old, and invite the new, together with a kind and supportive (and confidential) small group. What better way to ring in the new year?

EFT - Tapping Group
Tuesdays
6:30 PM
Zoom
 
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!

PRAYER ..."is communion with God.... This communion is an attitude of mind and heart that lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the Source of every good and perfect thing..." (Myrtle Fillmore's Healing Letters).

We invite you to join us for a half hour of contemplative guided prayer time. The service is live streamed to our Facebook page so no need to log in to Zoom. You will not be on camera and can use this quiet time to observe or just listen to this peaceful meditation. Prayer brings beautiful changes.

Healing Thought # 249
“‘Happy new you.’ In other words, today, if you become the kind of person you desire to be, and envision that as yourself, and look forward from that consciousness, then you’re going forward in a Happy New Year consciousness and things are going to unfold in a marvelous way, much better than you’ve ever known” (Eric Butterworth, Unity of New York City, 1978).
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:

“I GIVE THANKS IN ADVANCE AS I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MARVELOUS WAY THIS NEW YEAR IS SURE TO UNFOLD!”

THANK YOU, GOD!
