And, We’re Still Together | Dr. Tracy Brown, RScP

This week, we are invited to celebrate both our unity and our diversity. Recognizing our divine connection often requires vulnerability and the courage to support one another as we share our truths. While we may not always agree, each challenge presents an opportunity to recognize our Oneness and recommit to Unity.

Free At Last: Releasing Ourselves from Bondage | Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer

You probably remember the quote, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last,” from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. The phrase was originally a line from an old spiritual, possibly the title of a song, and it represented the idea that slaves were finally free after death, as no one could own their soul. Dr. King used the phrase in his speech to signify hope and belief that one day, all people would be free from the constraints of injustice and oppression.

On Thursday, June 19th, also known as Juneteenth, we commemorate the day in 1865 when Major Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in the state of Texas to share the news of the Emancipation Proclamation, announcing the official end of the Civil War and freeing the slaves.

But in what areas of our lives are we not truly free, and instead live in bondage to old beliefs, stories, fears, resentments and regrets that keep us from expressing and experiencing all the good life has for us?

Join Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer for his talk on Sunday, June 15, remembering Father’s Day as well as Juneteenth

There is Room in my House | Rev. Dr. Harry Moses

Either consciously or unconsciously, everybody is setting the limits to what is unlimited good. As we make room in our heart for all the good in our life expands in every arena. 

In Living Color! | Rev Dr. Bob Deen

This week we celebrate the varieties of Human expression and experience. Just as the world around us is an explosion of color and variety, humans are no exception. Just as evolution in the world continues toward greater complexity, we humans are discovering the same trend. With the same enthusiasm that we greet a new variety of roses or species of frogs, we are called to embrace the newly discovered varieties of human experiences.  Oneness does not equal sameness, rather, it is present as all of its various expressions of life. 

Speak Up! Sing Out! | Rev. Kit Holmes

Standing firmly in and speaking clearly about the truth of who we are takes a lot of self-awareness and courage. This week, guest speaker and musical artist Rev.

Join us to learn how embracing our voice can pave the way for personal empowerment and collective progress.

A Modernized Mother’s Day Talk | Rev. Cynthia Paulsen

Whether we celebrate Mother’s Day or not, the creative process is continuously taking place all around us. New life springs forth; seeds sprout; babies are born; and ideas are made manifest. Let’s acknowledge the wholeness of life by exploring the sacred Divine Feminine. That’s a concept worth celebrating! 

The Paper Bag Princess | Rev Susan Zoller

Concept: The Biblical verse in Proverbs 23:7 states, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Accordingly, what do the events in our lives reveal about the contents of our hearts / consciousness? The moment we choose to think and believe differently is the moment that our experience begins to shift.

No Rest for the Weary: The Power of Regenerativity in Practice | Ms. Nerissa Street

In this talk, Nerissa Street speaks about the hidden barriers to activating the principle of Regenerativity in our lives and the surprising way to move forward with humor and grace.  

A New Way of Being | Rev. Dr. Ron Fox

Resurrection is not a one time event. We can resurrect our life any time we make the choice to live in a different way. As Meister Eckhart reminds us, “The birth of the divine son needs to take place in each of us.”
