The Inseparability of Love and Forgiveness – November 24, 2024

Loving greetings and joyous Thanksgiving wishes to you and your loved ones as you celebrate all the blessings in your lives. And please know that your presence in our spiritual family is to me a gift for which I am so deeply grateful.

Life’s journey is clearly multifaceted, interwoven as it is with pairs of opposites such as joys and sorrows. By giving ourselves quiet time for prayer and reflection, we gratefully discover that even within our challenges there is potential for inner growth. When such gratitude fills our heart, we feel what true prayer is, what Spirit’s unconditional love is. And that is why our theme of the month is “Gratitude: An Unconditional Quality of Consciousness.”

The November 24, 2024 topic is The Inseparability of Love and Forgiveness. The question is not about deserving or not deserving forgiveness; the question is about whether or not we have sufficient love in our hearts to forgive both ourselves and others. When we withhold forgiveness we simultaneously withhold love. The more readily we forgive, the more we express the quality of divine love within us. As the adage goes, “To err is human, to forgive is divine.”

This knowing causes us to bend a knee in profound gratitude, to know why it is said that “Thank you” is the most complete prayer.

It All Begins with Gratitude – October 27, 2024

Loving greetings to you all, and Shanah Tovah to all of our Jewish brothers and sisters.

Throughout the years that we met in person, October was traditionally celebrated as “Friendship Month.” My invitation is for us to continue in the spirit of that friendship-centered tradition as together we celebrate our monthly theme, “Share the Love, Share the Light, Share the Wealth.” I feel that our virtual connection is as equally connected and meaningful as when meeting face-to-face. You are all my friends, and I trust that you all know I am truly your friend.

The October 27, 2024 topic is It All Begins with Gratitude. Today will begin by giving thanks for the blessing we share as a family of spiritual individuals who support one another in looking within to release the false belief of inner poverty by affirmatively agreeing that we are fully equipped with all that is needed to live life abundantly in all of its expressions.

How Open Are You to Receiving? – October 6, 2024

Loving greetings to you all, and Shanah Tovah to all of our Jewish brothers and sisters.

Discernment and Discipline = Demonstration

Loving greetings and welcome to September’s Sunday services when we will dive deeply into this month’s theme, “Living from a Heart of Happiness.” As the Dali Lama wisely reminds us, “Happiness is determined more by one’s state of mind than by external events.” Together, we will expand our inner understanding that happiness is not an outer achievement but rather an organic expression of our True Nature.

The September 29, 2024 topic is Discernment and Discipline = Demonstration. The word “discipline” can cause us to recoil a bit. However, maintaining a disciplined mind is what returns our attention to our inner intentions over and over again, thus empowering the demonstrations for which we pray. It returns us to a discerning, faith-filled state of consciousness attuned to our highest good.

The Fusion of Expectation and Experience – September 22, 2024

Loving greetings and welcome to September’s Sunday services when we will dive deeply into this month’s theme, “Living from a Heart of Happiness.” As the Dali Lama wisely reminds us, “Happiness is determined more by one’s state of mind than by external events.” Together, we will expand our inner understanding that happiness is not an outer achievement but rather an organic expression of our True Nature.

The September 22, 2024 topic is The Fusion of Expectation and Experience. When we make an affirmation, we want to believe in our expectation of its fulfillment. And yet, if we’re honest, there are times when we’re not quite convinced of our worthiness to receive the good we affirm for ourselves. Join us today and discover how to create a mental equivalent between expectation, experience, and the demonstration that awaits us.
