Tonight with Dr. Edward and Rev. Russ: Embrace the New Year with Wisdom - Wednesday, December 27

By

As the year draws to a close, it's time to reflect and prepare for the changes that a new year brings. This December 27th, at 7 pm, we invite you to join our special Wednesday Evening Service at the Center, focusing on "The Space Between Endings and Beginnings." This service will provide insights and practices to help you navigate the transition into the new year with grace and wisdom.


# How to Embrace Change

Embracing change is about acknowledging the flow of life and being open to the new possibilities that come with each ending and beginning. Our upcoming service will explore several ways to do this effectively:

# Acknowledge Uncertainty

It's natural to feel unsure about what the future holds, but learning to accept and even welcome this uncertainty can open the door to unexpected opportunities and growth.

# Consider Feng Shui

Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging living spaces, can be a powerful tool in welcoming change. By aligning your environment with your intentions, you can create a supportive space for new beginnings.

# Consult the Oracle

For those who seek guidance beyond the physical, consulting oracles or spiritual tools can provide clarity and direction as you navigate the space between what was and what will be.

# Don’t Just Do Something; Sit There!

In our action-oriented society, it's often beneficial to pause and reflect. This service will encourage you to take a moment to sit with your thoughts and feelings about the past year and the year ahead.

# Practice Self-Care

Self-care is crucial during times of transition. We will discuss ways to nurture your body, mind, and spirit to ensure you're in the best position to embrace the new year.

# Question Common Sense Wisdom

Sometimes, the wisdom we take for granted needs reevaluation. We'll explore how questioning what we assume to be true can lead to deeper understanding and better decisions.

# Write a Letter to Yourself

Writing a letter to your future self is a powerful way to set intentions and articulate your hopes and dreams for the coming year. This exercise can be a meaningful part of your end-of-year ritual.

# Your Suggestions Go Here

This service is not just about imparting knowledge but also about inspiring you to generate your own creative responses to change.

Join Us for an Evening of Reflection and Preparation

Our Wednesday Evening Service is more than just a gathering; it's an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, gain new perspectives, and prepare yourself for the year ahead. Whether you're looking to find peace with the past, set intentions for the future, or simply seeking a moment of community and reflection, this service is for you.

Mark your calendars for December 27th at 7 pm and be part of a special evening dedicated to understanding and embracing the space between endings and beginnings. We look forward to seeing you there and embarking on this journey together into the new year.

What Do You Believe Now?

Dear Community, I just love this old photo of me and Music Director Christopher Fritzsche.  And, I love that I get to work with him at the Center. But that's not the point of this message.  :) I invite you to gather with me on Wednesday, November 8th at 7 p.m. for our Evening Service, where I'll talk about my own journey with Science of Mind, which began at a time when the world was less inundated with information. Today, with a deeper understanding of the nuances of human emotion, neurodiversity, social dynamics, and mental health, I find it enriching to revisit and question the ideas that initially drew me in. The concept that our thoughts have creative power prompted me to ask questions and seek out answers that were both invigorating and, at times, challenging. I've come to appreciate an approach that values evidence and personal growth over accepting ideas at face value. Our gathering is open to all, irrespective of individual beliefs about the divine. Instead, we fo

Tonight with Dr. Edward - Unlocking Inner Peace Through Spoken Chanting: A Journey into Meditation

By
Greetings! Today, I have the pleasure of sharing a transformative experience that has touched my life deeply and led me to discover the power of meditation. If you're someone who has ever struggled with the idea of meditation, you're not alone. I, too, was once perplexed by it until I learned that meditation takes various forms and doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all approach. My journey into meditation was a result of necessity, as I found myself in the role of a meditation teacher. This compelled me to explore different techniques and approaches that resonated with me and those I was guiding. One of the most impactful methods I encountered was chanting – a practice that has its roots in ancient spiritual traditions. Chanting, in my experience, is a profound way to engage in meditation. It aligns with the Science of Mind philosophy, which uses repeated affirmations to redirect the mind toward positive thoughts and beliefs. The great thinker Ernest Holmes emphasized the impo

Dr. Edward Viljoen at Wednesday Evening - Recovering from Betrayal: Lessons from Holy Wednesday

By
Betrayal can leave us reeling, lost in a sea of shattered trust and emotional turmoil. Yet, within the stories we've inherited, there are paths forward, lessons on resilience, and recovery that resonate through time. Holy Wednesday, often overshadowed by the more prominent days of Holy Week, offers profound insights into the nature of betrayal and the steps toward healing. Dr. Edward will talk about the story of betrayal, understanding its impact on our peace, and the steps we may take to heal from it. The Story of Betrayal Holy Wednesday marks a pivotal moment in the Easter narrative—the day Judas Iscariot chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act wasn't a mere transaction; it was a breach of deep, personal trust. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, had walked alongside Jesus, sharing in the journey, the teachings, and the miracles. His betrayal set in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, a cornerstone of the Easter story. Understanding the Impact B
