June 25th, 2023 - Talk About Joy

Finding joy of life doesn't mean that we will not have hardship, as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that in no bulls rather than in bitters. This is adapted from Archbishop Tutu and Dalai XIV, the book of Joy. In James 1:2 supports this as we read:  My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy. This Sunday we'll look into finding establishing joy in the midst of this world.

June 18th, 2023 - The Secret of the Holy Moment

A Course in Miracles describes the “holy instant” as an "interval in time" where we completely open ourselves to the presence of the Holy Spirit, becoming receptive to the awareness of love's presence. In this “holy instant,” peace, love and transformative miracles become possible in our lives. The purpose of ACIM is to help us “remove the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence”. The “holy instant” is where we experience the accomplishment of that purpose. Is there a teachable strategy to experiencing the “holy instant”? A secret we can employ to practice?  The answer is yes. But, the secret strategy may surprise you.

May 28th, 2023 - Is it New Age or New Thought?

Let’s take an introductory romp through New Age, New Thought, Unity, A Course in Miracles, and Abraham! Yes, I know, that is a lot to explore … and I got this.

May 21st, 2023 - The Protection of Spirit

As the Easter season has completed its cycle, let’s review the mystical movement from Palm Sunday to Pentecost Sunday as we prepare ourselves for the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Matthew Fox says “Whether the story of the Good Samaritan or the teaching that others, especially the needy, are other Christs, it is clear that Jesus’ teaching is indeed trying to stretch our meaning and practice of love and compassion.

May 14th, 2023 - Nothing Gets Left Undone

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we bless all of the people in our lives who have nurtured and cared for us.  The gifts of the mother are expressed in visibly active ways, including encouragement, the sharing of wisdom, and guidance.  As powerful and necessary as these activities are, we can also experience the divine feminine in ways of being, such as allowing, non-interference, and acceptance.  As we trust and allow the divine feminine to express itself as us, we embody a generosity of spirit that comes with the realization that nothing gets left undone.

May 7th, 2023- Open Yourself Up for a Closer Look

April 30th, 2023 - K.I.S.S. and Tell

 I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Don’t kiss and tell”, well in another context that may be appropriate.  However, when it comes to practicing principles that are intended to improve the quality of our lives wouldn’t you want to tell everyone!  This week we will explore how one principle and four practices can improve our lives in such a way that we will want to tell everyone so that we live in a world truly meant for everyone!”  With Rev. Maggie Alderman

April 23rd, 2023 - Synergy – Making a Difference

Synergy is the combination of two or more elements working together to create a result that is greater than the sum of their individual parts. When we approach life with a synergistic mindset, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities for growth and transformation. By working together and leveraging our unique strengths, we can make a positive impact on the world and achieve far more than we ever could alone.  With Rev. Sondra Von Gullenband.
