We have felt "deep in the weeds" (see picture below) as we seek to fulfill the dense requirements of the City of Clearwater for our project, but we are finding our way. As you can see, we have proceeded with clearing and mowing our lot to make way for the next steps and the construction fence has been repaired.
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 - The Place Where God Shows Up |
|
Highlights:
From “I Am the Place where God Shows Up” by Eddie Watkins, Jr.:
“There is no spot where God is not.
I am not alone and there is nothing I have to do on my own.
I am the place where God lives and breathes and has Its being.
I am the place, you are the place, we are the place where God shows up.” |
|
Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace” (John 1:16).
“All is good, all is well.… It’s all good, I can tell. In this place, this loving place, all is grace.” |

Don’t Miss Simon Lasky the Next Two Sundays at UCC! Aug 17 & 24 |
|
|
British jazz pianist/composer, Simon Lasky, has received major awards for his music in the U.S. and the U.K., including a 2018 “British Composer Award, two 2024 Creative Loafing “Best of The Bay Awards,” a 2025 “Palladium Creative Fellowship” and regular endorsements from the International Society of Jazz Arrangers & Composers; his music has been selected for many high profile presentations.
The three albums featuring Simon as leader showcase dozens of compositions for jazz ensembles. His music has been performed in London’s Barbican Hall and Wigmore Hall and broadcast extensively on BBC radio and NPR. He has performed and recorded with leading jazz artists from the U.S. and European jazz scenes.
Simon relocated from London, England to Tampa, Florida in 2018 on the receipt of a Fellowship to study jazz composition at the University of South Florida with multiple GRAMMY nominated big band composer, Chuck Owen. Simon has performed in New York City jazz clubs, Florida jazz festivals, and he has led his Tampa Bay based jazz group in sold-out concerts throughout South and Central Florida. In demand as a soloist and a lecturer, Simon has also been an Adjunct Faculty Music Professor at the University of South Florida and Hillsborough Community College. Simon was recommended to us by the wonderful Rebecca Zapen, violinist extraordinaire and Music Director at Unity of St. Petersburg; Rebecca, has played for many events at Congregation Beth Shalom, our beloved friends and interfaith partners who kindly sheltered our UCC Sunday services most weeks for many months of our wanderings over the past two years. Our beloved Sue Riley reached out to Rebecca, who is Music Director at Unity of St. Petersburg – which, interestingly, was the Church that invited Leddy to Florida in 1979! We believe that there are no accidents and we are brought together in Unity by divine appointment.
Please know that we feel truly blessed, to say, with all our hearts, “Welcome, Simon!”

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
Teach Us to Pray was written by Charles Fillmore (Cofounder of the Unity Movement) and his second wife, Cora (a leader in Silent Unity and in Unity's Correspondence School and a beloved teacher of prayer). Cora Fillmore contributed a large number of the affirmations, lesson plans, and instructional chapters in this volume. As we follow the lessons together, we see that prayer is not begging, but aligning our thoughts with God's ideas. Leddy has compiled a unique series of twelve prayer services, embodying the essence of each of the twelve chapters of this fascinating study.
Join Leddy and experience the deep thoughts of Charles and Cora Fillmore every Wednesday evening through October.
Come, let us pray together! |

| "God is in you, as the ocean is in a wave. You can see it as a great breaker on the ocean where the surf riders ride these giant waves graciously, with poise and beautiful expression into the shore. There’s no way that you can be separated from God just as the wave cannot be separated from the ocean. The wave is the ocean expressing as a wave and you are the activity of God expressing as you .... Knowing this, we would not say that God is 'nowhere.' If you can be still and know, you will find that God is now here" -- Eric Butterworth, Unity of NYC lecture, 1975. |

|
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:
GOD IS NOW HERE -- MIGHTY IN THE MIDST OF ME, LIKE THE OCEAN IS IN A WAVE, EXPRESSING AS INFINITE LIFE AND DIVINE ENERGY.
