Release and Let Go - Rev Dr Bob Deen

 Ignorance stays with us until the day of enlightenment, until our vision toward the Spirit broadens and casts out the image of a no longer useful littleness…. The will should hold it in place until the creative genius of the inner life transforms the image of limitation and transmutes it into liberty, under law. – SOM p. 418.4

Week’s Affirmation: The more I release, the more Good I experience.

Journey to Freedom - Rev Jackie Dougherty

The person who’s thought is the most God-like – that is the truest, the highest, the most noble, the most complete, the most peaceful – will be the best healer. 

Week’s Affirmation: Love acts through me and the Law of Love frees us all. 

Living in the Question: A High Idea - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Through spiritual discernment, we see that we have within us a power which is greater than anything we shall ever contact; a power that can overcome every obstacle in our experience. – SOM p. 146.2

Week’s Affirmation: My life is the embodiment of Spirit’s highest idea of Itself as me. 

Infinite Connections - Rev. Dr. Bob Deen

We are to view ourselves each in the other and behold God in all. When we realize love as the great harmony, then we shall sing the praise of God. Ernest Holmes, Creative Ideas 

Week’s Affirmation: I am in the Circle of Love which includes and binds all together in everlasting Unity. 

The Infinite Invisible - Rev Dr Bob Deen

In going within, we do not turn to our own spirituality, our own goodness, or our own strength, or our own knowledge. We go within to unleash the Infinite Invisible. 

Week’s Affirmation: With trust, joy and delight, I let God be God in me. 

A Clean Slate - Rev Dr. Bob Deen

When in thought, in contemplation, in imagination, in inward feeling, we consciously return to the Source of our being, the Divine pattern which already exists springs forth into newness of manifestation. Ernest Holmes, Living the SOM 

 

Week’s Affirmation: I am open to the promise of a clean slate which every moment holds. 

Looking Above - Rev D.r Bob Deen

We never forget that behind (and above!) it all is God. As we advance through our year and continue allowing the evolutionary impulse of Spirit to work through us and our communities, we do so remembering and committing to upward journey of Divine Unfoldment. 

 

Week’s Affirmation: I allow the Divine to unfold through me. 

Looking Ahead - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Having taken stock, we’re ready to plan our journey and look to where it is that we want to go. What possibilities lie beyond the horizon? Where are the growing edges in ourselves, our communities, and our movement? We set our intentions and set to the work of moving forward. 

Week’s Affirmation: I am the ever-evolving living embodiment of Love. 

Here and Now - Rev Cynthia McCarthy

As we begin our journey through the year, we take a moment to take stock of where we are as we plan the route. Using spiritual practice and present moment awareness, we take a genuine and deep look at where we are right now: in ourselves, our communities, and our movement. 
This Week’s Affirmation: I now use the Power within to experience the Good that God is. 

Grounding Beyond the Beginning - Rev Dr Bob Deen

We remember the foundational principles upon which our faith is built. We honor all of the many traditions which Science of Mind has used as springboards, and delve into the deep truth behind all of these teachings: all is one, and always has been. 
Week’s Affirmation: Today, I am forever one with all Life.
