This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Love Cover Me
|
|
Highlights:
From lyrics to “Love Cover Me” words & music by Gary Lynn Floyd & Danny Miller:
Love cover me, I will not be shaken. I will not be moved. Love cover me, may my heart awaken.… Love cover me. Love, I invite you to open up this heart of mine.
As time has unfolded me, it has revealed to me life's nothing less than sublime. With every thought I make.… may I be gracious and kind. Love, I invite you to open up this heart of mine
Kindness wash over me.... Right every wrong, cause me to see love over hatred. Guide me to be faithful and strong. Love cover me ….
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….
*Leddy after the construction site blessing with Rev Amy Kindred from UU Clearwater and Bhante Dhammawansha from Dhamma Wheel Meditation Society

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (I. Cor. 13:13).
It’s the best part of being alive. That’s what love is. |

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.

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!

“My love is my attunement with the cosmic flow. The great need is not just to be loved but to be love. I am created in and of love. Love is my nature, the essence of my being. I am the very activity of love in expression. I have within me all the love in the universe…. Seeing with love creates an environment where people feel secure” (Unity author and minister, Eric Butterworth, at Unity of NYC circa 1975). |

OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
“LOVE LIFTS ME UP IN THE POWER OF FAITH AND COVERS ME WITH ITS PROTECTING PRESENCE.”
THANK YOU, GOD! |
