Paradoxically speaking, on Wednesday at 7 pm

Dear Beloved Spiritual Community,

I'm delighted to extend an invitation to you for a unique midweek service dedicated to delving into the fascinating topic of paradoxes and their spiritual significance. Often, the most profound truths in spirituality exist in spaces that might seem contradictory or puzzling. This special service aims to explore these complex yet enlightening aspects that can deepen our understanding of the Divine.

Event Details:

Join us in the sanctuary at the Center from 7 to 7:45 pm for a mid-week spiritual boost. Enjoy music, prayer, spiritual practice, a message, and more. In-person only. The service is not broadcast or recorded.

We'll spend our time together in contemplation, discussion, and collective meditation aimed at embracing the enigmatic yet enriching realm of spiritual paradoxes. From ancient wisdom to modern teachings, the concept of paradox has been a cornerstone in understanding our connection to the Higher Power and the universe.

Why focus on paradoxes? Well, they challenge our conventional wisdom, inviting us to view our spiritual journeys from a different vantage point. They encourage us to surrender our need for linear understanding, making way for a more nuanced, interconnected view of spirituality.

All are welcome—whether you're a seasoned spiritual seeker or newly curious about these intriguing concepts. Feel free to bring your questions, your insights, and an open heart.

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

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

  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

"Living On a Prayer" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

  Whether he knew it or not, Bon Jovi was affirming a powerful prayer in his iconic song, "Living On a Prayer." One of the lyrics goes like this: We've got to hold on to what we've got Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love - well give it a shot   Whooah, we're half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin on a prayer Tonight in our continuing series exploring the ten core concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit, we will explore prayer--known as Spiritual Mind Treatment in the Science of Mind--and how we can use it to shift our mind from a focus on all that appears wrong, toward a focus on life that is rooted in compassion, love, and possibility.  See at the Center at 7pm! -Russ
