Wednesday Evening Service

3rd Wednesday WE BELIEVE the ultimate goal of life to be  a complete freedom from all discord of every nature,  and that this goal is sure to be attained by all. Life is a process of unfolding and expansion. As we learn and grow, the limitations of our previous experience and beliefs drop away and we remember and reveal more and more of who we really are and what we really belong to. Join Dr. Kim Kaiser as he leads a discussion of the unfolding of a life free from discord. All are welcome to this one-hour class in Waggoner Hall, North Wing. The class begins at 7 pm. Room 11 next door provides a quiet space for meditation from 6:15 to 6:50 pm. Love offerings are gratefully received.

The Science of Mind teaching has several phrases that we often use in talking about our beliefs. One of those is "whole, perfect, and complete."  What does that mean? How does it land in us when we hear it? Dr. Kim and Rev. Ruth will briefly share their experience of the phrase. Then they will welcome your questions, comments, and experiences. This free program begins at 7 pm in the sanctuary. All are welcome.

Over the summer, we have explored Jo Marchant's commentary on the role of the mind in our physical well being. This Wednesday, Dr. Kim Kaiser brings all the threads together as we conclude this book and get ready for the class on "Conscious Parenting" with Susan Robinson, RScP, starting in September. Everyone is welcome to attend this free Wednesday night class, no matter how many Wednesday evenings you have come over the summer. Class begins at 7 pm. The meditation room is open at 6:15 pm if you would like to sit in the stillness before class begins.

He discusses "How to Use It", based on the fourth chapter of the Science of Mind textbook. Central to Dr. Holmes' teaching is the importance of not just knowing the material but applying it to one's life. As he says, let's not "indulge in too much theory and too little practice". Our free Wednesday Night Wisdom class begins promptly at 7 pm in the sanctuary. All are welcome, even if you have never attended another class. For those who wish to center in stillness before class, the meditation room upstairs is open from 6:15 pm to just before class.

Wednesday Night Wisdom begins at 7 pm in the sanctuary where all are welcome.  The meditation room upstairs opens at 6:15 before class.  We are now recording the class, beginning with the second class.  CDs are available for sale in the bookstore.  As always, your love offerings are gratefully received.

This week the class focuses on how "The Thing Itself" (one name for Spirit, God, Creator ... ) works, how we can align and co-create by tapping into Its infinite wisdom and possibilities. All are welcome -- if you missed last week's class, come anyway.  We'll have copies of Dr. Edward's adaption of our textbook's first four chapters, The Science of Mind for Beginners available.  Class begins promptly at 7 pm in the sanctuary.  The meditation room upstairs from the social hall is open from 6:15 to 6:50 for those who wish to sit in silence before class.

Have you wondered about the teachings of Science of Mind and how to apply them in your life? There is a great opportunity to explore these and other questions in the New Year.  In celebration of 100 years of Science of Mind, short free classes are being offered most Wednesday nights of the year. Dr. Kim Kaiser begins with a four-week class on the heart of Science of Mind, based on the first four chapters of the Science of Mind textbook.  The classes meet in the sanctuary from 7 to 8 pm.  Dr. Edward Viljoen follows in February with an 11-week class focused on Ernest Holmes' book It's Up to You.  All are welcome.  There are no prerequisites or fees although love offerings will be gratefully received.  See you in class!

Nick Scheerbart, www.unsplash.com This month's spiritual value is "Integrity".  Integrity begins within, knowing what matters to us, knowing  the Truth of what we are.  And then, perhaps, we notice where who and what we are is different than our experience in the world.  When and how do we speak truth to error?  Dr. Kim Kaiser explores this topic on Wednesday evening. Our Wednesday evening service begins at 7 pm in Waggoner Hall, North Wing.  Room 11 is open as a meditation hall at 6:30 if you would like to sit in stillness before the service.  All are welcome to the service and to the snacks and conversation that follow.

Here's what Dr. Kim has to say about his talk on Wednesday: "The original theme of this talk was about how love is being able to be defenseless and open when in the presence of another person. The theme has shifted to making it possible for someone to be defenseless around you." Come learn more on Wednesday evening, starting at 7 pm, in Room 10, North Wing.  Christopher Fritzsche provides his music in support of the service. All are welcome to the service as well as to the light snacks and conversation that follow.

Add caption One of the most important elements of service is taking care of ourselves so that we are able to serve others.  This Wednesday, Dr. Kim explores this key aspect of our month's topic, "Community Service". Join him in our new location, Room 10, North Wing, and discover how your care for yourself ripples out into the world.  The service begins at 7 pm, with music by Christopher Fritzsche.

This special Wednesday Evening Service includes the induction of our newest practitioners, with Dr, Edward Viljoen and Rev, Joyce Duffala participating.  Dr. Kim Kaiser's keynote talk explores how we are called  into an active love relationship with our world and all who are in it.  This is a call to be what you really are, Spirit's instrument on earth. A reception will follow the service in the Social Hall, and all attendees are invited.
