Sacred actism - a reflection of our inner values September's theme is "Service to the World".  On Sunday evenings in September, we'll look at what this means in Science of Mind as well as how another faith tradition, Judaism, integrates action in the world into their spiritual practice.  Here are our topics for the month -- we look forward to some lively and rich conversations.  Note that Rev. Tara's talks on September 4 and September 25 are based in part on Andrew Harvey's book, "The Hope - A Guide to Sacred Activism". Services begin at 7 pm, Room 10, North Wing.  All are welcome..

Tara Steele Sep. 11 “Bringing our authentic selves to the world – that’s service.” Maggie Cole, RScP Sep. 18 “Tikkun Olam – Repairing the World” An interfaith conversation with Rabbi Ted Feldman Sep. 25 Five ways to serve – what’s yours?

"My contribution is ..." Sunday evening service, August 7, 7 pm

From the Global Vision of the Centers for Spiritual Living - "We see a world which has renewed its emphasis on beauty, nature, and love through the resurgence of creativity, art, and aesthetics" Join Practitioner Maggie Cole this Sunday, August 7, as she explores the topic, “My Contribution is …”  What does each of us contribute to the manifestation of this vision? What is the contribution that we, as a spiritual community, are committed to?   Maggie reminds us of the lyrics to the Peace song, “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” This is an invitation to be accountable and to take responsibility to bring to our lives a renewed emphasis on the beauty, love and creativity that is in us and around us. Let it begin with us. Music: Calvin Johnson blesses us with his music, including his generosity in providing us with a mini concert prior to our service as he often does. All are welcome, the service begins at 7 pm in Room 10, North Wing.
