Good to Great to Grand - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

Our theme this month is Good to Great to Grand. Tonight we will explore goodness, and how shifting our focus to what is good, or positive, can be a simple yet powerful spiritual practice to help us reorient our spiritual center of gravity and find more balance in our lives.

Sometimes I find it easy to get caught up in all the things that appear wrong with the world. Doom scrolling on my phone, getting annoyed with traffic, frustrations with politics--all these things can add up and feel like a ball and chain around my soul. Making a practice out of actively seeking out the good in my life, then, is the antidote when I find myself focusing on everything I think is bad.

Tonight we will share in a two part spiritual practice to help us learn how we can choose where we place our focus in life, and allow that choice to embrace the good that is inherent in Spirit. I would love to see you at 7pm at the Center tonight. It will be GOOD!

See you soon,

-Russ

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

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...

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 ...

Ushering In a New Year - Special Wednesday Evening Service on January 7 with Rev. Russ

Every new year brings the opportunity to approach life with a fresh mind. That is exactly what we are going to do in this special Wednesday Evening Service--we are going to freshen our minds through the power of journaling. Pen and paper have the unique ability to take our thoughts and give them form. This is how the Creative Process works. We have a thought, it is acted upon by the Law of Mind according to our belief in that thought, and the thought then becomes tangible in our world. Join us on January 7 at 7 pm as we journal the night away, emptying the mental leftovers from 2025 and creating intentions to guide us through 2026. Best of all, you don't have to bring a journal if you don't have one, we will provide a mini-journal for you. Love, -Russ
