Things may seem a little quiet leading up to our February 19th steel delivery. If we get any other news before then, we'll share it here.
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 - Truth Matters: More Love, Please! |
|
Highlights:
Lyrics from “Love Cover Me” by Gary Lynn Floyd
With every thought I make, every last breath I take,
May I be gracious and kind. Love, cover me.
Love, I invite you to open up this heart of mine.
Kindness wash over me. Love, cover me.
Love cover me, I will not be shaken.
Love cover me, may my heart awaken.
Love, cover me.
Love cover me, light any darkness, right every wrong.
Cause me to see love over hatred. Guide me to be faithful and strong.
Love, cover me.
* Pat Warren, Co-President of the UCC Board and the "Valentines" --Judy Fisher, Leddy Hammock, and Lydia Prayer Chaplain, Lydia Muar |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
God “You, who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty, say to the LORD, 'My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust'" (Ps 91:1-2).
Love, cover me, I will not be shaken. |

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
Our
Wed evening Prayer Services in the New Year from Jan. 7 until Ash
Wednesday will be based on the classic Unity text, Beginning Again: A
Guide To Taking A New Hold On Life, a self-help book by Frank B. Whitney
that aims to guide readers through the process of starting over and
rebuilding their lives. The book offers practical advice and exercises
to help readers identify their goals and create a plan to achieve them.
It also covers topics such as overcoming fear, building self-confidence,
and dealing with setbacks. With a focus on personal growth and
empowerment, Beginning Again is a helpful resource for anyone looking to
make positive changes.
Frank B. Whitney was the first Editor of Unity's Daily Word magazine, which was first published in July of 1924 and circulated continuously to the present day, treasured by people of many faiths, the world over. Beginning with the first issue on July 1, 1924, Whitney wrote nearly all the messages and many of the poems in the issues for the first 14 years of its existence, until his passing in 1938. Whitney’s obituary in the Kansas City Star recalled, “The editor carried into his writings and work for the Unity School of Christianity a natural buoyancy and optimism.” |

| "Now, science is delving into hidden things, and it is found that they all arise in and are sustained by universal principles that are open to all [people] who seek to know and apply them…. Popular religion does not attempt to harmonize its fundamental facts with the findings of science, and in its ignorance it fights science and thinks that science is destroying the faith of the people in things spiritual. Anyone who will search for the science in religion and the religion in science will find that they harmonize and prove each other. The point of unity is the Spirit-mind common to both." (Charles Fillmore, Christian Healing). |
