We should start seeing more activity on the site very soon! This week our signs (pictured above) will be moved out front so passersby will see them!
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! |

Highlights:
Lyrics from “Sweeping Up My Own Side of the Street” by Sue Riley & Melinda Wood Allen:
“Taking time to stop and smell the roses on the way, planting what I want to see,
pruning what’s not serving me, tending my own garden every day.
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Every step I take just moves me closer to my dreams.
Your grass might be a brighter green. That’s for you, not for me. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
Not gonna be the one to cast a stone. Won’t point a finger at your faults, got plenty of my own.
‘Cause, when I toss that judgment thing, it comes back like a boomerang.
I’m sweeping up my own side of the street, clearing out the clutter, pulling up the weeds, finding out it’s quite enough just taking care of my own stuff, sweeping up my own side of the street.” |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet they seemed to him like a few days because of his love for her” (Genesis 29:20).
The deeper the river, the greater the trust and the more that we’re rising above. We won’t be falling at all, we’ll be rising in love. |

Inasmuch
as two of our dear Board Members (Ed Marinacci, whose new Church family
at Unity of Greenville, SC, has been invited to be a candidate to their
Board Board and Sam Derrera (who is healing from a shoulder

both asked to be released at this time, with great appreciation, we
accept and
know they continue to cheer us on. Since UCC is going through special
conditions as we build our new Church Home, our Co-Presidents, Grant
Dansby (Music Team) and Pat Warren (Tech Team) have graciously
agreed to continue to serve an extra year, effective immediately. The
Board has unanimously agreed that both Grant and Pat remain in their
offices and that Mary Ann Westmark be named as our President of
Prosperity (Treasurer) and Nancy Simmons as our President of
Communications
(Secretary) for this year. We welcome them1lcomeion; a quorum agreed. We bid loving farewell to Sam Derrera and to Ed Marinacci as we joyfully
welcome our two new Board Members next month, Randy Jenkins and June Gobern-Ray
and will appoint them next month as Presidents of Hospitality and Service. |

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. |

“To observe Lent according to the spirit rather than the letter we must fast from criticism and condemnation and feast in brotherly love; fast from false beliefs in sickness and weakness and feast on the Truth of God's omnipresent, perfect life; fast from false beliefs in lack and limitation and feast on the Truth of God's bountiful good will…. One of the most valuable ways of observing the Lenten season is to fast from (loose and let go) the belief that [people] or nations can stand in the way of God's good will for [all]. Now is the time to affirm the power of the Christ Spirit indwelling in all [people] everywhere and influencing their thoughts, words, and actions to work for the good of the whole.… When we withdraw our attention, interest, and support from the false and the unworthy, this is true fasting. When we give that same attention, interest, and support to the enduring good, we are feasting on the things of the Spirit, and this is true prayer. When we have truly fasted in the Christ way, we have increased our ability to respond to God's good will” (Georgiana Tree West, foreword to Keep a True Lent by Charles Fillmore). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“I FAST FROM CRITICISM AND BLAME AND I FEAST ON THE TRUTH OF GOD’S BOUNTIFUL GOOD WILL FOR ALL.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
