The Perfection in This Very Moment
Each of us is a divine time traveler. Just as seasons change, so do we experience inner seasonal changes as we move through our life’s journey measured by this thing called “time.” One human measurement of time is referred to as past, present, and future, whereas Spirit’s measurement is timeless time. Our September theme, “The Perfection in This Very Moment,” embraces both, as you will see each Sunday when we delve into the importance of being intimate and honest during our moment-by-moment inner and outer journey.
Richest blessings,
Rev. Pam

Sunday Topics: 11:00 AM
September 02 Blessing the Past that Got You to the Present – Rev. Pam
Looking back over our past with the wisdom of hindsight, it’s easy to wonder at some of the choices we made. But for the heart and spirit, well, it knows that every single step we took got us to our spiritual path and practice. So how about it—let’s bend a knee of unconditional gratitude to our past and to ourselves in the Now moment of our lives. We deserve it!
September 09 Shine On! – Rev. Pam
The Sufi poet Hafiz wrote, “I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” Let’s stop hiding Spirit’s luminous light within us under that proverbial bushel and dare to radiate out its essence of love, wisdom, peace, joy, compassion, creativity, and playfulness in all aspects of our lives. Today, we’ll amplify our wattage!
September 16 Present Moment, Miraculous Moment – Rev. Pam
To be awake in the present moment is to consciously realize the wonder of being alive, the miraculous in all that it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. Can there be a greater miracle than to live from a state of consciousness that recognizes the essence of Spirit in all that exists—from the humble blade of grass to the human being capable of enlightenment?
September 23 Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow – Rev. Pam
Every day is an opportunity to meet ourselves anew, to come into a deeper intimacy with ourselves as an individualized expression of Spirit than we did yesterday, and tomorrow more deeply than today. It all begins with greeting ourselves each morning by claiming our divine identity and, as we go through our day, consciously bringing our awareness back to that Home within.
September 30 Energy: Spirit’s Connective Tissue – Rev. Pam
Spirit’s energy enlivens your being. It is the connective tissue that unites you with Source, with the cosmos and all other beings. It is the co-creative energy that has been implanted within you and sets in motion the fulfillment of your dreams. The present holds the future, and as we practice being present in the moment, our dreams fulfill themselves according to the Cosmic Clock.
