Sunday Service Topics at Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living
2026 Theme: Life by Design
September Theme: Choosing Your Future
What if the future isn’t something that simply happens to us, but something we participate in creating? Every day, we are shaping what comes next through our intentions, our vision, our choices, and the thoughts we repeatedly entertain. We may not control everything that happens in life, but we have far more creative influence than we sometimes realize.
Throughout September, we’ll explore Choosing Your Future. A practical spiritual journey from living with intention to creating a life of vision, making conscious choices, and moving beyond wistful wishing into the power of right thinking. Together, we’ll discover how to bring greater awareness to the present so we can more consciously create the future we are designing. The future is not fixed, it is created by us every day, one thought, one action at a time.
If you’re ready to stop living by default and start living by design, plan to be with us all month and begin living your life by design.
Sunday, September 6th: Designing with Intention with Rev Jill Clements
Are you living by design or simply reacting to whatever comes your way? Intention is the first step in creating a life that reflects who you are becoming. We’ll explore how bringing greater awareness to our thoughts, choices, and daily lives can move us from autopilot to living on purpose. Live Music with Jennifer Sheets.
Sunday, September 13th: Creating From the Inside Out with Rev Jill Clements
What if your future begins today with a Vision of what’s possible? A Vision is more than a goal, it’s an inner awareness of the life we want to experience and express. We’ll discover how connecting with our deepest desires and spiritual possibilities can give direction and energy to the life we are designing.
Sunday, September 20th: The Gift of Beginning Again with Guest Speaker Maggie Rintala, RScP
What if every breath is an invitation to choose again? Beginning isn't reserved for the new year or the perfect Monday, it's offered to us fresh in every moment we consciously choose it. We'll explore how the smallest choice, made right where we are, awakens the same wisdom that first taught us to breathe, to rise, and to begin. Come discover the freedom of choosing your life anew, one conscious moment at a time.
Sunday, September 27th: Wistful Wishing with Guest Speaker Rachel Sartori, RScP
How many times have you wished upon a birthday candle, hoping some lofty dream will burst into reality as soon as you open your eyes? Or looked back on photos from before and wistfully longed to be there? These practices need not be in vain but rather anchored in right thinking so they can collaborate as vital parts of the journey towards inner freedom. Let's own our power to create the lives we most desire!
