How's Your Image? Is It Divine? Wednesday Evening Service May 11, 7 pm

How clearly do you reflect your Divine Self?

In the words of a friend, this Wednesday evening's Science of Mind textbook reading (195.5-197.4) reading "made my eyes cross and my brain hurt". It is a dense reading, but not impenetrable.

The section titles may help clarify the text. The first section is labeled "We Are Allowed to Choose". The Divine Image, the perfection of our life, is within all of us, is our essence, always. We choose to be aware of this underlying Perfect Life, or not, but we cannot destroy it.

And the second section reminds us that "Man Re-enacts God". We individualize the outer expression of ourselves by the thoughts we choose, the effect (more or less depending on our awareness) of group mind, and our environment. The most powerful and creative of these is our thought. The more we recognize the underlying I AM and choose to align with that perfection, the more it shows up in, as, and through our life.

That's the Cliff Notes version. Please join me, Rev. Tara Steele, in looking more deeply at this powerful topic on Wednesday evening, May 11, at 7 pm. Our spiritual gathering is blessed by Chris Fritzsche's exquisite musical presence and all are welcome to join us for light snacks after the service.

Your Friend Within - New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

For much of my life I went it alone. I thought I had to do everything myself, that there was nobody who was willing to help me. This was a challenging way to approach my life--and it was a difficult path, it turns out, I didn't need to follow. In our experiential New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service (try saying that three times fast!), I'll share with you a spiritual concept that I wish I knew when I was determined to go it alone: how we can nurture a relationship with what Ernest Holmes calls "The Friend Within," that aspect of our spiritual existence that is available to us 24/7 as our coach and best friend. Tonight will be filled with music, we will set intentions, and we will connect with our Friend Within so that we might have all the love and support needed to bring that intention to life. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Center at 7pm. -Russ

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes with Edward Viljoen, January 19 2025

This Sunday, I’ll explore the theme, “It Flows.” I’ve been reflecting on the power that moves through all things, including each of us. Life’s creative power, like the electricity that lights our homes, is always present. Yet, it requires our active participation to flow into the world. Flipping the switch is an act of awareness and intention, and it’s a choice we make every day—whether to direct this energy toward creating, healing, and helping. Together, we’ll consider three key ideas: Awareness is the Key to Using Creative Energy Life’s creative power responds to our awareness. By becoming mindful of our thoughts, we unlock the ability to direct this energy where it’s needed most. Tuning Into the Creative Flow This power doesn’t discriminate; it’s available to all. What sets us apart is how we engage with it. Simple daily practices can help us align with this flow and tap into its limitless possibilities. The Power of Dominant Thoughts What we focus on consistently shapes our e...

"Oneness" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

#1 - Oneness Spirit (whatever we choose to call the infinite “something”) is the source of all that is, and Spirit is all that is. Everything is made of Spirit and is a unique expression of The Infinite. What is Oneness? We hear this word quite a bit at the Center, but what does it really mean, and how is it useful in my life? These are just some of the questions we will answer in tonight's Wednesday Evening Service as we embark upon our journey exploring the ten core concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit. Join us at 7pm for music, freshly baked bread and tea, and an inviting community where we will learn all about Oneness. See you soon! -Russ
