Revitalize Your Spirit this Wednesday with Rev. Russ Legear

Are you in need of a midweek mental boost? Ready to unwind, connect, and expand your consciousness? Look no further! Our Wednesday Evening Service is the perfect sanctuary for those seeking solace, inspiration, and an intellectual feast for the mind. Every week, we come together to enjoy freshly baked bread, cookies, and soothing tea, all served in the warm embrace of our art-lined social hall.

An Oasis of Comfort and Insight

Imagine sinking into plush couches or settling into cozy chairs, surrounded by captivating artwork that sparks thought and contemplation. Our community space is designed to be your oasis of comfort, where you can unwind, engage, and reflect at your own pace. The ambiance is inviting and casual, setting the stage for open hearts and open minds to converge.

Guided by Vision and Values

At the heart of our Wednesday Evening Service is a loose but intentional structure that draws inspiration from Global Vision, spiritual values, and our themes of the month. This fusion of ancient wisdom and contemporary insights creates a rich tapestry of learning and growth. It's an opportunity to explore, discuss, and challenge your understanding while embracing the unity of shared values.

This Week's Speaker: Rev. Russ Legear

Rev. Russ boasts an impressive background, with a Master's Degree in Consciousness Studies and a Certificate in Ministerial Education from the esteemed Holmes Institute in Golden, CO. As if that's not enough, he also holds a Bachelor of Letters and Science degree from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh.

Rev. Russ isn't just a scholar; he's a catalyst for transformation. As one of the founders of Cityside Spiritual Community in Chicago, he has breathed life into the teachings of New Thought, sharing his insights and wisdom through impactful classes and talks. With a passion for the Science of Mind teachings, Rev. Russ is committed to evolving and expanding New Thought through experimentation, practice, and an insatiable curiosity.

A Fusion of Knowledge and Wonder

What sets Rev. Russ apart is his ability to seamlessly blend modern psychology, philosophy, and discoveries from neuroscience into his teachings. His talks are a dynamic synthesis of age-old wisdom and cutting-edge insights, creating a unique perspective that resonates with both seasoned seekers and those new to this journey of self-discovery.

Beyond the Pulpit

But Rev. Russ is not confined to the pulpit. You might find him strumming a mean tune on his electric guitar when he's not guiding others through New Thought principles. He's also an avid adventurer, often disappearing into the wild on off-the-beaten-path trails, connecting with the universe in its purest form.

Join Us This Wednesday!

Rev. Russ Legear joined our ministerial team in July 2021, bringing fresh energy and profound wisdom to our spiritual community. Don't miss the chance to be in the presence of this captivating speaker as he delves into this week's theme. Mark your calendars for this Wednesday's Evening Service – a sanctuary for your soul, a playground for your mind, and an invitation to transform your week.

We look forward to sharing in this enlightening experience with you at 7 pm at the Center

You Determine Your Welfare - Special Wednesday "Pulpit-Swap" Service with Dr. Edward and Rev. Russ

By
The idea that you determine your welfare speaks to the Science of Mind idea that well-being grows from the choices we make in thought, practice, and community.  Using the book "Basic Ideas of Science of Mind" as our guide, our Wednesday evenings have been exploring the use of our mind, emotions, and actions, to contribute to our spiritual welfare. This Wednesday, join Dr. Edward Viljoen and Rev. Russ Legear at a special location to continue the exploration.  Some context:  Each year our community makes space for our neighbors at the local synagogue to gather more fully for the High Holy Days. In addition to being a gesture of hospitality, it carries a deeper reminder that our welfare is shaped by the choices we make together.  We, in turn, hold our Wednesday Evening service in their beautiful synagogue and you're invited to join us. Science of Mind teaches that the Creative Power of Life responds to the quality of our consciousness, and through spiritual practice we ...

"Spirit Is An Artist" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

By
  Every breath we take, every new friend we make; the tallest snowy mountaintop to the darkest depths of the sea--all is an act of creation. In fact, because Spirit is all there is, that means that we, too, are endlessly creating. Whether we know it or not.  In tonight's Wednesday Evening Service, we continue our exploration of the Ten Core Concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit with the third--the creative nature of Spirit. We'll share in spiritual exercises designed to grow your awareness of your creative nature so you can tap into it to paint the life of your dreams. And all will be wrapped in an atmosphere of music, freshly baked bread, and loving community.  See you soon! -Russ

How To Be an Instrument for Peace - Wednesdays in July 2026

By
Peace rarely arrives as a single grand event. More my be built from small choices we make in how we listen, how we speak, and how we hold space for one another. This July, five voices from our community offer their own way into that practice, each bringing a different instrument to the symphony. We open the month with Discovering Your Peaceful Voice on July 1, with Dr. Edward Viljoen. Some obstacles to peaceful communication hide in plain sight, disguised as ordinary habits. This talk traces one path toward noticing them, and toward the voice that waits underneath. On July 8, Rev. Siota Belle leads us into Drumming To a Different Beat . There's a rhythm to peace that doesn't always match the pace the world moves at. This gathering explores what it means to find our own tempo, and to trust it even when it differs from the beat around us. July 15 brings Practicing Your Peace with Rev. Russ Legear. Peace as an idea can sound lovely. Peace as a daily practice asks something mo...
