Sunday Service Topics at Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living
2025 Theme: Intentional Living
November Theme:
Awakening to Grace
As we approach the end of another year, with shorter days and the bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Yet, this same season invites us to pause, breathe, and count our blessings.
This month, we’ll turn our attention to Grace, the quiet presence of Divine Love that guides, sustains, and blesses us in every moment. Together, we will explore how grace shows up in our lives, how we can open more fully to it, and how thanksgiving expands our awareness of all that we already have.
Let this month be an invitation to rest in grace, to live in gratitude, and to awaken to the divine blessings that surround us always.
Sunday, November 2nd: The Grace of Allowing with Rev Jill Clements

Sunday, November 23rd: Permission Granted: How to Live Intentionally with Thanksgiving with Rachel Sartori, RScP
No one wakes up and says, “Today I want to be miserable and ungrateful!” Yet so many of us move through our days with a low-level of misery and disappointment that things aren’t different. We try to be grateful, but it may come out lack-luster or tied to fear that a shoe is waiting to drop. So how can we live intentionally with Thanksgiving? Join Rachel in discovering an unexpected key that will unlock your ability to receive and celebrate the inherent Good of Life!
Sunday, November 30th: Thanksgiving Every Day: Living from Thank You with Rev Jill Clements
When we live from thankfulness rather than for it, life becomes an ongoing prayer of gratitude. We’ll close our series with an invitation to carry a thankful heart into every day, awakening to the grace that is ever-present.
