Church of One Love

Many Paths, One Spirit

This is the tagline for our logo at COOL.  We speak a lot about Oneness and our awakening into the awareness of the One Spirit—the Spirit of Love.  But what are the “many paths?”  Does it mean the paths of the world’s major religions?  How can different religions or religious paths all lead to one place? How many paths are there?  How are they represented here, and how can we know when we’ve found the “right” one?

Divine Love, Through Me

Every week we begin our offering affirmation this way.  What does it mean to have Divine love flowing through us?  How can it bless and multiply?  How can giving something away be the very thing that draws more to us?  Let’s explore the idea of abundance consciousness.

Freedom From - Or Freedom To

It is easy to think of freedom in terms of what we are getting away from:  Freedom from enslavement, from prison, from dependence or being bound to another.  However, simply breaking free from what has been leaves us likely to perpetuate the same conditions from which we escaped unless we are aware and make conscious choices to move toward something new.   What do we want to be FREE to do and be?

You Were Created by God For Great Accomplishments w/ Special Guest Speaker Janet Ellis

We mentally know that we are hear to do great things, does our heart know and how willing are we to take actions to make it happen?

Gifts of the Father

Join us as we honor Father’s Day by learning about the blessings of the “Father Within,” the Divine Masculine, as well as the gifts we receive (often harder to see and appreciate) from the very human fathers and father figures in our lives.

We will also pay tribute to our newest national holiday: Juneteenth! with music and poetry. 

Love Matters

One of the basic teachings of New Thought is that “thoughts held in mind produce after their kind”-- the Law of Attraction in expression.  Is this a simplistic way of viewing the world and our place in it?  Does this mean the world is within our personal control?  What about when things go “wrong”?  Let’s discuss how “thoughts become things,” and –most important--how we can make our love “matter” in the world.

Mission: Possible; Vision: Clear

Each week we say aloud the mission and Vision statements for our beloved community.  Like all oft-repeated phrases, it can become rote and lose its meaning.  Join us in exploring the importance of these statements, our core purpose, and the spiritual values we hold dear at COOL. 

Memorial Day: Honoring the Pain of the Past

This holiday focuses on the men and women of the armed forces who have lost their lives in battle.  We will honor that commitment of life, and also honor whatever there is in our own lives that needs to remain unforgotten.  As we remember our painful pasts, our losses, struggles—we can see them anew as a vehicles of learning, as shining examples or dire warnings, as things that strengthen and bring us to gratitude, to forgiveness, to release…but not forgetfulness.
