The Return of Light - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Ac.cording to some counts, between Nov 1 and Jan 15 there are 27 holidays celebrated by seven of the world’s major religions. Where is something deep within the human consciousness that calls forward these celebrations. It is linked to the fact of shorter days and longer nights in the northern hemisphere of our planet. With solstice the light begins to return and consciously or not, we all experience the shift. On Sunday we will celebrate the return of light. You’re Invited

Unto us a Child is Born - Rev Dr Bob Deen

The story of the birth of life as a child in the manger is a story of the discovery of Life within each of us. Join us as we take a fresh look at the Christmas story and find a deeper individual significance for this season of celebration. You’re Invited.

 

The Vision for Your Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

This is a lofty sounding idea but whether we know it or not we all have a Vision. Our personal vision may change over time and it may also be many faceted at any moment. As the days grow shorter and the nights are longer, we are automatically biologically pulled into reflective and contemplative thought and self-awareness. It is a good time to consider the vision which pulls you forward into each day and guides you in your choices and vales. Today we will explore the concepts of vision and our individual relationship to a greater vision spurred by an inner calling to Life.

Living Joyfully through the Holidaze - Rev Dr Bob Deen

The holidays invoke joy and excitement sometimes mixed with depression, sadness, and dread. It is a time when our expectations of “how things should be” are measured against “how things really are.” This comparison leads people to joyful anticipation or frustration and disappointed; appreciations and gratitude or disappointment and sadness. Wherever you find yourself in this continuum, you have the power to bring greater Joy, Gratitude, and Love into your celebrations of this season. Join us as we explore ideas for the best holiday celebration ever. You’re Invited.

The Power of Grateful Receptivity - Rev Dr Bob Deen

We are constantly receiving from Life. We receive air when we breath, sustenance when we eat, love in relationships and goodness of all kinds. Expanding our ability to receive with gratitude and appreciation is one way to expand our experience of the goodness of life. Receptivity includes receiving gratitude from others in the circular exchange of giving and receiving.

Gratitude: The Practice - Rev Dr Bob Deen

A most simple and profound practice that will change your life quickly and in definitely measured ways is the Practice of Gratitude. More than just saying thank you, the practice of gratitude is a simple thing that can be practiced anytime and anywhere. It is the art and science of appreciating that value that we receive each day. By appreciating we expand our awareness of how much we are given and in doing so we expand what is offered. Gratitude is proven to change our brain chemistry, increase our happiness, our consciousness of prosperity, and create positive and meaningful relationships. Lets talk about this practice and take the month of November to build our Gratitude Muscles. You’re Invited.

You Are Enough! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Enough what? Enough love, enough power, enough goodness, enough right ideas to express a wonderful life of freedom and prosperity. For many people, freedom and prosperity are synonyms. Whether true for you or not, it is important to understand the meaning of prosperity for yourself. To be effective in creating your desired change, that meaning must come from fullness not lack, from the recognition of what we are all made of and what we can do.

Acceptance: the Key to Prosperous Living - Rev Dr Bob Deen

The first step in changing anything is accepting what is. Where prosperity is concerned that means acknowledging what we have, where we are in the larger scheme of things, and where we want to be. This may include understanding ideas and attitudes that are drawing things to us or pushing them away. It is the nature of Life to offer itself freely to its creation. For us, this means the opportunity to accept, receive, and celebrate what is offered.  You’re invited. 

A Bun Dance: Celebrating the Abundance of Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Tapping into the power of what is already ours, Abundance is all around us and showing up everywhere. Too often we get caught up in thinking we are missing something or must find a way to “get” abundance – while the real power is in recognizing and revealing the abundance that is bursting from our lives. Celebrate abundance everywhere… you’re invited.
