We Are So Grateful!
Construction Update
We're learning as we go and things are coming a bit more into focus as we move forward with construction. Here is what we expect in the next couple of weeks:

The first step will be grubbing the property (removing vegetation, roots, debris, etc). That’s on the schedule for July 15 provided the steel for the footings arrives on time. Once the grubbing is done the footings will be dug and after that the fill dirt will be brought in and graded. In the meantime the water meter will be put in and the temp power will be hooked up. Lots going on in the background and we should start seeing activity on the property in the next 2-3 weeks.

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 - We Share the Dream of Peace
Highlights:

Inspired by lyrics, “We Share the Dream of Peace” by Sue Riley, David Roth, & Jana Stanfield:

“My skin may be a diff’rent shade, my language not the same. I pray in different places, I call God by different names. My clothing may not be like yours, might stand out in a crowd.
But in universal Spirit, there are diff’rences allowed.

We have the precious present and our presence holds the key to a world that is more loving, as we share the dream of peace.

My arms embrace my children. I fall in love, I cry. I marvel at the sunset as another day goes by. But halfway ‘round the world, I know, your rain brings rainbows, too. Though we might seem so different, I am just the same as you.

Imagining the future, remembering the past. Together we can co-create a vision that will last.
Last Sunday's Shining Words:

“Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you” (Lk 6:38).

Pressed down, shaken together, running over, give it away!

EFT - Tapping Group
Tuesdays
6:30 PM
Zoom
 
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
Livestream only (UCC Facebook Page)

Jesus Christ Heals was written by Charles Fillmore, Cofounder of the Unity Movement, in 1936. Charles Fillmore truly stands out as a great American Mystic, so his writings are not always easily understood by Truth students who feel drawn to them. The best way is through the experience of prayer and meditation. Our Sr. Minister has created a unique series of twelve prayer services, embodying the essence of each of the twelve chapters of this fascinating volume.

Join Leddy and experience the deep thoughts of Charles Fillmore every Wednesday evening from May 21 through August.

Healing Thought # 275
“In every nation of the earth the seekers of the light are one. It makes no difference what creed or dogma they follow or what they call their faith. The prayers of all people, seeking the light, unite as a part of the great good of the world....We can become expressions of love and peace to the whole world. In the light of understanding there is but one world, one people, all children of God, children of light.” -- May Rowland, Director of Silent Unity, in the pamphlet, "The Seekers of the Light Are One," 1964.
OUR WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:

"I HAVE FAITH IN MANKIND. I KNOW THAT GOOD SHALL BE VICTORIOUS AND THAT NOTHING CAN DEFEAT IT. THE SEEKERS OF THE LIGHT ARE ONE."

THANK YOU, GOD!
