Wednesday Evening Service

As we approach the final Wednesday Evening Service of 2023, I invite you to join us in a special gathering that promises to be both reflective and inspiring. The transition from one year to the next is a unique period . It's a time when we find ourselves in a delicate space between concluding the old and welcoming the new. This space is not just a temporal gap; it's a moment rich with potential and profound insight. However, navigating this transition can be challenging. Some of us might rush towards new beginnings without fully acknowledging and integrating the lessons of the past year. Others might find themselves clinging to the past, hesitant to step forward into the promising yet unknown future. Our service this Wednesday, led by Dr. Edward Viljoen, aims to explore this intriguing interlude. We'll discuss how to honor our past experiences while courageously embracing what lies ahead. This session is not just about bidding farewell to the old year but also about prepa...

As the winter solstice approaches, marking the longest night of the year, I invite you to join us for a unique pre-solstice service. This event, held in person at 7 pm on Wednesday, December 20th, is more than just a gathering; it's a celebration of light, hope, and renewal. The Roots of Our Celebrations The lavish festivities we associate with Christmas find their origins not in biblical teachings but in the deep-rooted traditions of the Winter Solstice. Long before the establishment of Christmas, these customs formed an integral part of a celebration that focused on the return of light during the darkest time of the year. Our service is more than a nod to these ancient practices; it's a reminder that true change requires a shift deeper than mere outward appearances. Like the Winter Solstice, our celebration is a time to reflect, to let go of the old, and to welcome the new with open hearts and minds. A Ceremony of Release and Renewal We will gather around a community tree, en...

Wednesday evenings, we gather as spiritual community, to learn, to connect, to share in spiritual practice.  This Wednesday, Rev. Tara invites us to consider what it means for us to "be in the flow", our flow, Spirit's flow, that one amazing Presence in every breath. The service begins at 7 pm, with musical inspiration from Sky Nelson.  All are welcome.

Like the wave that is a part of the ocean, so each of us is unique and in the Oneness of God.  Join Rev. Janet Tobin as she explores ways to recognize and embody the underlying All Good of Spirit. The talk is based upon a reading on vision from the Science of Mind  textbook, pages 229-231. The service begins at 7 pm at the Center for Spiritual Living, 2075 Occidental Road.  Conversation and light snacks follow the program.  All are welcome.

Have you been reading along with the weekly or daily readings in the Science of Mind  textbook?  I am finding it to be a lovely morning practice, sometimes leading into prayer or stillness, other times into questions and "What did Ernest mean by that?"  That's when I appreciate our Wednesday evening services that explore the day's reading. There is quite a range of topics for May, the month we focus on Spiritual Guidance and Personal Responsibility.  The service begins at 7 pm, in the sanctuary.  There is also meditation in Grinton Chapel at 6:30 pm for those of you who like to begin in this way. Here is our calendar, including the textbook reading for the day: May 4  - Rev. Janet Tobin - "Answered Prayer"  190.1-191.4 May 11  - Rev. Tara Steele -  "An Image of the Divine"  195.5 - 197.4 May 18  - Rev. Kim Kaiser - "How to Heal"  201.5 - 203.3 May 25 - Dr. Edward Viljoen - "Help through Prayer at a Distance"  ...
