Wednesday Evening Service with Dr. Edward Viljoen

Wednesday Evening Service with Dr. Edward Viljoen – New Location Tonight!

Join us for our evening service This Wednesday, October 2, at Congregation Shomrei Torah (2600 Bennett Valley Road, Santa Rosa, CA 95404) from 7:00 to 7:45 p.m.

New Location

Our usual location at the Center is being used for the High Holy Days celebration, so we’re gathering at this new spot for one night only.

The Cathars of France

Dr. Edward Viljoen, who recently returned from a European vacation, will lead the evening with a fascinating discussion about how we form our personal beliefs about life. He’ll share stories from his travels through Southern France, including his time in the land of the Cathars—a Christian sect from the 12th to 14th century whose beliefs stood in stark contrast to the dominant church of their time. Their tragic history raises powerful questions about what happens when deeply held beliefs are challenged.

How do you respond when your beliefs are questioned?

In this casual, engaging setting, Dr. Edward will guide us in reflecting on how we came to our own beliefs, how we respond when those beliefs are questioned, and how we interact with others who see the world differently. It promises to be a thought-provoking evening that encourages us to explore what we hold as true and to open our hearts and minds to expanding those beliefs.

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to think deeply and connect with others on a meaningful level.

Tonight’s service is from 7:00 to 7:45 pm at Congregation Shomrei Torah.

See you soon.

"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

This Is Who We Are - Cosmic Consciousness

What does it mean to be Spirit? What does it mean to really feel our spiritual nature, to know that we are a part of the infinite? Spirit is present in all creation. Each person experiences the wholeness of Spirit to the degree that they recognize and accept it within themselves. Tonight, in our final Wednesday Evening Service exploring the Ten Core Concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit, we will explore how we can better recognize the Spirit within us by cultivating Cosmic Consciousness. 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
