Sunday Evenings At The Center

SUNDAY EVENING CONVERSATIONS “A place to commune, communicate, connect” Practitioner Maggie Cole “ Faith - How Much Do I Need? ” “No fear can remain where faith holds sway. Faith reunites us with the original, creative Spirit, the Divine Mind, which already exists at the center of our being. This kingdom of heaven, which is the kingdom of wholeness, is within." ~ Ernest Holmes “I desert fear and turn resolutely and joyously to faith, and swiftly into my experience comes the desired good. I give thanks that I am divine and that I know my divinity." ~ Ernest Holmes Most of us are familiar with this quote; “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove”. I don’t feel I have this much faith. Hence, I have some work to do. The question is how much do I need or better yet, do I already have it and am not using it, believing in it, trusting to use it in my life?

The approach of the new year invites us to recognize and celebrate ourselves, just the way we are. . Join Rev. Tara Steele for a time of reflection, prayer, and intention setting to polish our spiritual lenses. Everyone is welcome to this last Sunday evening service of 2019, at 7 pm in Waggoner Hall, North Wing.

SUNDAY EVENING CONVERSATIONS “A place to be seen, heard and valued” Practitioner Elias Owens “Finding Your Own Meaning to Holiday” "If we took a holiday Took some time to celebrate Just one day out of life It would be. . .so nice."  ~ Madonna - from ‘Holiday’ Whenever a Holiday or other special day on the calendar rolls around there are sure to be those who proclaim (and often with cynicism) their lack of observance.The reason may be religious, political, decrying commercialism, or just lack of interest. I love holidays. I love that people take time and energy to make certain times of the year special. We can give whatever meaning we want to these days and observe them in our own fashion. The conversation begins at 7 pm in Room 11, North Wing. All are welcome.

SUNDAY EVENING CONVERSATIONS “A place to be seen, heard and valued” Rev. Josephine Smith “The Power That Made the Body, Heals the Body” "The spiritual man needs no healing, health is an omnipresent reality, and when the obstructions that hinder healing are removed, it will be found that health was there all the time." ~ Ernest Holmes "The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly." ~ Buddha "Healing is the return of the memory of wholeness. Healing, health, whole and holy all mean inclusiveness. Body, mind, spirit, environment, relationships, social interactions are all one wholeness, and you're a part of that one wholeness." ~ Deepak Chopra What comes to mind when you hear this statement that the power that made the body, heals the body? Do you believe it? How do you know you need healing and what does it mean to be healed or cured? Teach your mind to listen
