Pain Pushes Until the Vision Pulls - Rev. Robert Brzezinski

Pain acts as a pushing force that compels us to address discomfort or challenges, while the vision of a desired outcome serves as a pulling force that inspires us to move forward and make positive changes in our lives. By recognizing the interplay between pain and vision, we can harness their combined influence to propel personal growth, resilience, and well-being.

Will I Be My Valentine? - Rev Dr Jerry Troyer

It is said that “love isn’t what you say; love is what you do.” Consider that for ourselves as well as others. That doing might make us uncomfortable: changing anything, even if it is for the better; standing in our truth; saying YES and even saying NO.

We want to be comfy, warm and fuzzy. Sometimes it works. But sometimes it doesn’t. The comfy starts to be not so comfy. And the still small voice slowly gets louder until it becomes “divine discontent.” This can happen in our work, our relationships, and our day to day experiences. Just going along to get along doesn’t allow us to lead wholehearted lives.

The divine discontent keeps tapping us on the shoulder, pulling our sleeve, reminding us in a loving but more and more forceful way that our lives could be different and better if we were willing to step into our greater good.

Wednesday is Valentine’s Day, when we remember and honor the experience of LOVE–for others but also for ourselves. How important it is to stand in integrity with ourselves.

Divine Discomfort , Rev. Jean Bell

You have the power to consciously shape your experience of change. Embrace it as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation, let being uncomfortable be your guide! Start today and unlock your true potential for a fulfilling and joyous life!

A Grand Rising: Feeling Good - Rev. Kathy Mastroianni

Serving as an example of love and light in the world feels so good!  

Rev. Kathy Mastroianni will share the positive and timeless wisdom and history of Dr. Ernest Holmes from the Science of Mind Archives with us, along with resources to access it. 

As we bring the energy of “A Grand Rising” into the rest of the year, let’s remember that our voices matter. Collectively, we are changing the world.   

 

 

It’s a New Life - Rev. Kathleen Sibley

In every moment we have the opportunity to start life all over again. However, it’ll be the same as the old life if we don’t try some new things. When we look at new life in the world, it’s adorable and precious but also usually pretty wobbly and clumsy. Are you willing to try something new in order to create a new life, even if you have to be as graceful as a new puppy learning to walk while you do so? We will talk about the Creative Process and how we need to continually learn from our experiences in order to create Newness.

Root and reboot, becoming readiness strong - Rev Dr Shari Sorbo

As we begin to settle into a new year let’s root and reboot by deepening our connection to the One Source in back of all life and become readiness strong by uncovering our Soul Contract through Love and Gratitude.

New Dawn: A Matter of Perspective - Rev Susan Zoller

2023 is complete; it evolved into 2024. Time seems linear to us, while in physics all time occurs simultaneously. Spiritually speaking, the present moment is all there is. Like our belief it’s a new year, nothing actually changed except our perspective. In life nothing changes until our perception does. Understanding this makes all the difference.

Resolved to be Whole - Rev Dr Raymont Anderson

Each year many of us declare our New Year Resolutions. Let’s switch it up this year by going deeper. When we resolve to live with and as wholeness, to live free from non-Life-Affirming attachments, to live wisely with humility, justly with compassion, lovingly with fidelity, and gratefully with generosity, only then can we take the needed actions that will create a World that works for ALL. Let us uphold this vision and daily renew it in our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions.

Embodying Christ Consciousness: Accepting the Gift - Rev Cynthia Paulsen

It’s Christmas Eve! The birth of Jesus is just the beginning of a story that serves as a powerful metaphor for our own spiritual evolvement. In this season of love, light, and gift-giving, let’s explore the gift of Christ Consciousness. What does the birth story tell us about our divine nature? In the “manger place” of our own heart, the inner Christ—God’s perfect idea of us—is waiting to be born!

WHOLLY HOLY NIGHT - Rev Cath DePalma

What better time of year to embrace our wholeness! Living in the world makes it easy for us to forget who we really are and who we came here to be. No matter what we think or feel, our spiritual truth is that we are always whole. This season let’s renew our covenant with ourselves by remembering who we are and consciously reconnecting with our inner beings. The gift has already been given. It’s up to us to enjoy it!
