The Evidence of Things Believed In

The Evidence of Things Believed In - Tonight 7 pm

(Guess which is me?)

Tonight’s service message delves deep into the heart of personal conviction and understanding. At the heart of this evening's gathering, we will reflect upon the strength of our convictions and the evidence of those beliefs in our actions and daily lives.

We will explore the profound inquiries posed by thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer and consider the challenge of checking the palpable evidence of our beliefs in how we conduct ourselves through life’s peaks and troughs.

The centerpiece of the message will be the hypothetical scenario of articulating our beliefs in a mere fifteen minutes on national television. This exercise aims to clarify what we hold to be true, allowing us to align our lives more closely with these truths.

Rev. Russ Legear has kindly provided meditation music to aid us in our contemplation, while freshly baked bread, tea, and cookies will nourish us as we partake in the comforting embrace of community. The goal is to emerge with a clearer understanding of our convictions and to embrace the role of living out these truths authentically, serving as beacons to others by our example.

I am excited to share my current beliefs, a perspective born from a lifelong journey of introspection and discovery. It is an understanding that continues to evolve, influenced by myriad factors including the challenges and joys of my journey, the steadfastness of my meditation practice, and the ever-changing landscape of life itself.

I'll touch upon the nature of existence, the oneness that binds us, and the implications of our inherited creativity and power.

Everyone in the community is invited to join us for this evening of introspection, connection, and renewal. Come with an open heart and a curious mind, ready to partake in the challenge to develop clarity around your deepest held truths.

Tonight, 7 m, at the Center.

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
