Things may seem a little quiet leading up to our February 19th steel delivery. If we get any other news before then, we'll share it here.
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 - Fearless Year |
|
Highlights:
Lyrics from “If I Were Brave” by Jana Stanfield:
I am brave!
What would I do if I knew that I could not fail? If I believed, would the wind always fill up my sail?
If I were brave I’d walk the razor’s edge where fools and dreamer’s dare to tread,
And never lose faith, even when losing my way. What step would I take today, if I were brave?
What would I do today if I were brave? What if we’re all meant to do what we secretly dream? … Like the mighty oak sleeps in the heart of a seed, are there miracles in you and me?
If I refuse to listen to the voice of fear, would the voice of courage whisper in my ear?
What would I do today if I were brave? I am brave! |

UCC Folks and others had a great time at Temple B'nai Israel this past Sunday. We enjoyed lunch, friendship and making toys for shelter animals to enjoy! |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope” (Jer.29:11-12).
I’ve come to love the mystery. The Grand Design is with us all along, a last goodbye, a newborn’s song and, in the end, we all belong to the Grand Design. |

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 Spiritual Treatment |
|
Wednesdays
7:00-7:30 PM
Our
Wed evening Prayer Services in the New Year from Jan. 7 until Ash
Wednesday will be based on the classic Unity text, Beginning Again: A
Guide To Taking A New Hold On Life, a self-help book by Frank B. Whitney
that aims to guide readers through the process of starting over and
rebuilding their lives. The book offers practical advice and exercises
to help readers identify their goals and create a plan to achieve them.
It also covers topics such as overcoming fear, building self-confidence,
and dealing with setbacks. With a focus on personal growth and
empowerment, Beginning Again is a helpful resource for anyone looking to
make positive changes.
Frank B. Whitney was the first Editor of Unity's Daily Word magazine, which was first published in July of 1924 and circulated continuously to the present day, treasured by people of many faiths, the world over. Beginning with the first issue on July 1, 1924, Whitney wrote nearly all the messages and many of the poems in the issues for the first 14 years of its existence, until his passing in 1938. Whitney’s obituary in the Kansas City Star recalled, “The editor carried into his writings and work for the Unity School of Christianity a natural buoyancy and optimism.” |

| "Our religion is constantly unfolding new possibilities, new powers, and new beauties; we are on the way to a great outpouring of spiritual development. We have not realized what a wonderful religion we have. It is filled with possibilities, and these possibilities are made known to us in mind and spirit. But we need more courage to develop these possibilities. We need more initiative. We need more awareness of this divine power in us and when we awaken to the spiritual man [or woman], which every one of us has within us, we shall see that through spiritual unfoldment all good things are possible of accomplishment, as Jesus promised…. 'Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not' (Isaiah 35:4) (Charles Fillmore, "The World Calls to Courage" in Keep a True Lent). |
