We Are So Grateful! |
| | | | | So.... We've been working to satisfy the new site work that the building department is now requiring. As of this week we have two remaining items that must be completed for the building permit to be greenlighted. One is a field inspection that we're delighted to say we passed on Monday. The other is a simple change to the plans that will be uploaded as soon as the civil engineer has it completed. We trust this can be wrapped up this week, but if not, it will be days and not weeks to get us back on track.
We've created a new "construction updates" page on the UCC website that includes the terrific video of the site blessing and groundbreaking ceremony that Deb Frisch created, set to the awesome music of Sue Riley. The URL is: UnityOfClearwater.org/construction-updates
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 are 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 - Mother's Footprints |
|
Highlights:
Lyrics to “Ready, Willing, and Worthy” by Richard Mekdeci:
“I’m ready, willing, and worthy to open my heart and receive
All of the heavenly blessings there for me when I believe.
I’m ready, willing, and worthy, and that’s all I have to be,
‘cause when I’m ready, willing, and worthy, God is able to bless me.”
*Leddy, Sue Riley and Lydia Muar this past Sunday |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“Wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God” (Ruth 1:16).
The Mother side of God’s love shows us the path and helps us find our way, as if to say, ‘Walk in my footprints.’” |

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
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. |

"The word 'prodigal' ...has so many meanings.... (In) the parable of the Prodigal Son, (it can mean) "wasteful, reckless, extravagant, intemperate. That’s not what we have in mind today.... The word 'prodigal' also means lavish, generous, abundant, profuse, bounteous, limitless, boundless, affluent, luxuriant, inexhaustible.... We’re talking about abundance, affluence, lavish, generous, profuse manifestation of the universe as it is in support of us. Remember, you live in [spiritual] substance like the fish lives in water.... You can never be outside of it.... Open yourself in faith, receptivity, and love, in the spirit of service to the flow of substance in your life. Become alive to the prodigal universe. Give thanks that the universe will never let you down. There’s always support for you if you take time to accept it, to listen, to experience it.... You’re living in substance, which is limitless. The prodigal universe is lavish, generous, abundant, profuse, bounteous, inexhaustible, affluent, luxuriant, and it’s beautiful. So be it" (Eric Butterworth, "Living in the Prodigal Universe" Unity, NYC, ca. 1975). |
