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: Dell deChant - Letting Go
|
|
Lyrics from “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci & Mario Freidel:
“I let go of the feelings that feed on lack and greed. I let go of the reasons keeping me in need. I let go of the fear that there's never enough. And I stop holding on, to what is not love.
We breathe in, we breathe out. It's all give and take. They're one with each other, for all of goodness' sake.
The loaves and the fishes were blessed, then released and barely enough, turned into a feast …. I’m letting go of holding on, seeking first the kingdom of God.
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. |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled” (Lk. 1:45).
“Show me how to be a child of Peace.” |

“After hearing the king, they went on their way; and
behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went on ahead of them until
it came to a stop over the place where the Child was to be found. When they saw
the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” [Matthew 2:9-10]
“The star that pointed the way for the Wise Men to find
Jesus was in the east. It symbolizes our inner conviction of our divine
sonship.” [Metaphysical Bible Dictionary] “The star symbolizes intuition; the
wise men were guided by intuition.” [Fillmore Study Bible, The New Testament]
In our faith and practice, let us find comfort in
connection, guidance in our deep listening, and a peace that takes hold from
within and radiates to the world. Joy to the world!
Merry Christmas and Love to all at UCC,

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. |

King George VI's 1939 Christmas speech concluded from a quote from Minnie Louise Haskins' poem, "God Knows" --
"And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown! And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put thine hand into the hand of God. That shall be to thee better than life and safer than a known way." |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
"I STAND NOW AT THE GATE OF A NEW LIFE, PLACING MY HAND
INTO THE HAND OF GOD."
