The word we've been given is that the steel for the foundation and footings will be delivered this Friday!
We remain very grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of
love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition.
We are very glad to welcome old friends and new friends on Sundays on our
home campus. Watch this space as we give thanks together that God is clearing the way for us to go forward.
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 - A House Built on Love |
|
Highlights:
Inspired by lyrics by David Roth to his song, "I Stand for Love," adapted (text in purple) for our Annual Meeting 2-22-26 with permission from the songwriter.
I stand for love, I stand for peace, I stand for joy and for release,
For what is beautiful and true. I stand for hope. I stand for you.
We stand for Truth that sets us free. I stand for you; you stand for me.
Then let us build a house of prayer to welcome friends from everywhere.
At last, the time is now at hand to live the Truth we understand,
To build a church on love that's real, we build on faith as strong as steel.
Where we will stand for love and peace, we’ll stand for joy and for release,
For what is beautiful and true. We'll stand for hope; we'll stand with you.
For what is beautiful and true,
We stand for hope; we stand for you.
* Happy Birthday Leddy! |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
"This is now we recognize the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of falsehood…. If we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us" (I Jn 4:6-12).
It's worth it all to experience the freedom that an open heart can bring when I choose more love. |

Our UCC Annual Membership Meeting will be held right after the service (about 12:15 PM) on Sunday, Feb. 22 at Discovery Academy.

All of our sitting elected Board Members voluntarily stayed in place to provide consistency through the construction of our new Church Home. Therefore, Board Officers will stay in place this year and we expect to resume regular annual election of Board officers in February, 2027, one year hence, when our Nominating Committee shall have chosen two more Voting Members as new candidates for our Board.
Our UCC Board of Directors:
Co-Presidents of Leadership Development: Pat Warren (also Volunteers on our Tech Team and Accounting Review Team) and Grant Dansby (also volunteering on our Music Team);
President of Prosperity (Treasurer): Mary Ann Westmark;
President of Communications (Secretary): Nancy Simmons;
President of Service: June Gobern;
President of Hospitality: Randy Jenkins;
and Sr. Minister, Leddy Hammock.

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!
