Untangling the Old Testament: Adam and Eve—The Beginning

We will unpack the creation stories in the Bible and see what Adam and Eve - the archetypes of human beings in the early stages of spirituality - really have to teach us.

Awakening to Love

What was the real miracle of Jesus’ birth?  Is that really the moment “love came down” to the earth?  Or was the love here all along, but the child who grew into the man Jesus grew to fully realize that love within himself?  Jesus tells us that “The Father” and “the Kingdom” are not somewhere far away, but among us, within us. Let this joyous Christmas Celebration service awaken you to the limitless Love within you!

Awakening to Peace

We sing of peace on earth this time of year. Does it really exist? We will explore personal & planetary peace (and any lack thereof) through the story of King Herod around the birth of Jesus, and find our personal roadblocks to peace, as well as our gateways to it.

Awakening to Wonder

2000 years ago, Mary & Joseph set out on a journey, Mary knowing she was “expecting,” but not knowing what to expect, and Joseph confused but trusting and waiting for what was to be revealed.  As we celebrate Christmas, many of us have expectations and preconceived notions that could limit the joy of the season, unless we are fully awake to the wonder of what if- and what is.

Forgiveness: The Key to Freedom

We all know that forgiveness is an important aspect of the spiritual path.  Holding on to past hurts, anger, grudges can block us from fully experiencing the joys of life.  We seem to know we SHOULD forgive, and sometimes even want to—but we don’t always know how.  Let’s explore what it takes to truly practice forgiveness and experience the amazing freedom of letting go.

Make Room for Grace: How to Receive More Good

Our belief in Love, Oneness, and the basic goodness of the universe should lead us all to experiencing abundant life.  So if we are not—WHY not?  In other words, “If Spirit is a good giver, why am I not receiving?”  This week we’ll explore the roadblocks that can get in the way of our receiving and living life in rich abundance.

Hatitude of Gratitude w/ Rev. Janet Ellis

Prosperity: What is it?

The ways we define it helps determine how (or if) we experience it.  We often ignore our prosperity in some areas of life because we feel lacking in others.  This week we will talk about how we define “prosperity” vs. “poverty,”  “abundant life” vs. simply surviving.  Then we will explore how gratitude can lead us to expanding our capacity to recognize, experience, and enjoy prosperity.

Samhain and All Hallows: Lessons from the Pagans

The celebrations of the Autumnal equinox is as old and rich as the autumn itself. Pagans (of the Nature religions) believed that the coming of winter meant the thinning of the veil between life and death.  This was to be celebrated not feared.  Many of our modern holiday celebrations—from Dia De Los Muertos to Halloween parties have their beginnings in these ancient rites, and have spiritual significance to us today.
