Our contractor, Bill, is getting the area prepped for our Groundbreaking Ceremony after the service this Sunday, February 16!
Please plan to attend and invite others for this special day!
Bill has decided on a concrete company and is ordering the steel needed for the job.
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 - Groundbreaking in Our Heartland |
|
Highlights:
“Living in My Heartland” by Sue Riley and Claudia Carawan
I’m gonna make a new start, lead with my heart, I’ve never felt so sure.
I’m gonna follow where I’m called, it may not be the easy road,
Because I’ve finally found my home, living in my heartland. |
|
Now I like those quiet days, I love the peaceful pace,
It’s now what I call home.
Sometimes the road less traveled, feels like the real frontier
But when I’m true to who I am, the path is free and clear.
I’ve finally found my home, living in my heartland.”

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
In the shadow of your wings will I take refuge. . . (Ps 57:1).
“Love cover me, light any darkness. Love cover me, right every wrong. Cause me to see love over hatred. Guide me to be faithful and strong. Love cover me.” |

It's Time to Order Hamantaschen |

Our friends at Congregation Beth Shalom are having their incredibly delicious fundraiser and are taking orders for homemade Hamantaschen.
Many UCC folks placed an order last year and enjoyed them, so they've invited us to take part and place orders again this year.
Orders should be placed by the end of the month and will be ready for pickup after March 13.
You can bring your order form to church on Sunday or email it to russ@unityofclearwater.org. When they're ready, we'll get them from CBS and have them at church for you to pick up.
Checks should be made out to: CBS Sisterhood |

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. |

“Concentrate on your heart, and you will break through to realms of feeling and knowing that allow you to see far beyond the confines of mental processes, to place power behind thoughts and prayers, to encounter spiritual experience directly rather than constantly feel removed from it. Whatever you are doing, try to do it with your heart and you will see big changes in your results. The heart is an exciting ride to almost anywhere within the spiritual realms” (Robert L. Marshall, Unity Minister in The Inner Core). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“AS A SPIRITUAL SEEKER, I AM GROUNDBREAKING IN MY HEARTLAND AND BUILDING NEW EXPRESSIONS OF GOD’S LOVE AND LIGHT WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART.”
