Wednesday Evening Service

January’s theme is Spiritual Living. That’s what we are all doing, isn’t it? Finding our way, living life and loving it! As we move into 2017, there is a lot happening in our country and in our world. Exploring our spiritual values is good preparation for whatever we face as individuals and as a community. The good news is we have a built-in guidance system that serves us well if we let It. How will you use it? The possibilities are endless and amazing! This Wednesday, January 18 , Rev Janet Tobin is speaking at the evening service; her topic is “God Lives in Me.” Come to the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa at  7 pm , and plan on staying a bit after the service for light snacks and conversations with others in our community. See you  on Wednesday !

This sign hangs in my office, a gift several years ago from my daughter.  "Things to do today, inhale, exhale, inhale, ahhhh."  The days I remember to follow Buddha's advice, there is a spaciousness and freedom that I don't experience when I am busily checking items off my to-do list, nonstop. This Wednesday I'll talk a bit about the practice of breathing, pausing, and its role in Spiritual living.  The service begins at 7 pm, with snacks afterwards.  Please join us, all are welcome.

Rev.  Kim Kaiser launches our Wednesday evening services in 2017.  Our theme for the year -- one that many centers in our movement are also choosing to use -- is values-based spiritual living.  This month the focus is what values-based spiritual living is and how we embody it.  In the coming months, we'll explore specific values like inclusivity, transformation and integrity. All are welcome to this evening service.  And as the new year begins, we invite you to reflect on what your values are and how you bring them alive in your life. The service begins at 7 pm, with music by Christopher Fritzsche.  There are also light snacks following the service to encourage you to stay a bit and talk with others.

As 2016 comes to a close, we are given the opportunity to assess how the year has unfolded for us. How did your understanding of life and your relationship to Spirit evolve? Have you paused and asked yourself what is true, really true for you? This  coming Wednesday , December 28, Rev Janet Tobin speaks to the topic, The Mind of Truth” and invites us into a reflection on our year.  Come to the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa at  7 pm , and plan on staying a bit after the service for light snacks and conversations with others in our community.   If you are reading along with us in   The Science of Mind,  Wednesday’s   reading is on pages 495 and 496. See you   on Wednesday !

"What the healer does is to mentally uncover and reveal the Truth of Being, that God is in and through every person, and that this Indwelling Presence is already perfect.  We separate the belief from the believer and reveal that which needs no healing." What do these words from the Science of Mind  textbook (418.3) mean? How might they make a difference in your life?  Join Rev. Kim Kaiser this Wednesday evening as he explores this core teaching of the Science of Mind.  The service begins at 7 pm with time for light snacks and fellowship afterwards.  All are welcome.

Join Rev. Joyce Duffala, Christopher Fritzsche, and members of our Grief and Loss Support Ministry as we honor those who have made their transition in the last 12 months.  Their names will be read from the Remembrance Book during the service and you may bring flowers, photographs, or other mementos to place on the community altar. If you would like to add the name of a loved one who has passed on since December 2015, please call the Center for Spiritual Living no later than 8 pm on Tuesday, December 6, 2016.  That number is (707) 546-4543. The Remembrance Service begins at 7 pm in the sanctuary.  All are welcome.

This Wednesday evening, Rev. Kim Kaiser is our speaker.  Many are wondering whether the world has responded to us or to everyone else but us.  The problem may be in the response we are looking for rather than the one that is being given.  Come and find out more. All are welcome to this evening service which starts at 7 pm.  And you may want to begin with a bit of centering silence and prayer in the Meditation Chapel upstairs, 6:30 to 6:50 pm.
