Sunday Service Topics at Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living
2025 Theme: Intentional Living
July Theme:
Sizzling Summer Series - Sundays at the Movies
It’s once again time for our Sizzling Summer Series at Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living. Each summer as the Arizona temps increase, we cool off with the movies, exploring Science of Mind themes and topics as seen through the eyes of modern-day films.
Ernest Holmes loved Hollywood and in a nod to his legacy, we’ll be following our theme of the year and enjoying movies about purpose, intention and freedom. Plan to join us all month for Sunday at the Movies!
Each Sunday in July beginning at 11:30 at the Center, we’ll be showing the film of the day after service. We’ll provide popcorn and drinks, and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks, sack lunch or snacks to share if you would like. There are also sandwich and pizza restaurants adjacent to our parking lot for take-out. See you at the movies!
Sunday, July 6th: Dancing Through Life with Rev Jill Clements
Mamma Mia! may seem like a fun, sun-soaked musical filled with ABBA hits and island escapades, but beneath the catchy tunes lies a powerful spiritual journey about love, identity, forgiveness, and freedom.
We’ll explore the power of choice, the illusion of the past and the freedom found in forgiveness as we learn to dance between the known and unknown, the past and present, and the head and the heart. Letting Spirit lead the way, we’ll discover our own rhythm.
Sunday, July 13th: The Long Game with Rev Jill Clements
Rev Jill Today’s film is about perseverance, vision, and heart. More than just a story of underdogs and golf, The Long Game reminds us of what’s possible when intention is clear, faith is strong, and purpose leads the way.
Using Science of Mind principles, we’ll explore how intention isn’t just wishful thinking, it’s a spiritual force that, when aligned with belief and action, can move mountains. Whether you're in the middle of your own “long game” or seeking clarity on what’s next, we’ll reignite your trust in the process and discover ways to stay focused on your greater good. When Spirit is your caddy, the course ahead is always Divine. Live Music with Jennifer Sheets.
Sunday, July 20th: Awakening the Greatest Within with Rev. Jill Clements
The Greatest Showman is a spiritual metaphor about discovering your divine uniqueness, following the call of your heart, and learning that true success comes from authenticity, love, and self-acceptance. We’ll explore how P.T. Barnum’s journey mirrors our own spiritual path and learn to recognize the Divine in all, heal false beliefs that our worth depends on others and reclaim our power to live with intention, love and integrity. Join us as we discover that we are each The Greatest Showman of our own lives.
Sunday, July 27th: Inner Stellar with Guest Speaker, Rev Jeffrey Hargis
As we complete our Summer Movies series, we’ll see a film about a former NASA pilot who leaves his family to join a last-chance mission through a wormhole in search of a new home for humankind.
From a Science of Mind perspective, this film is less about rockets than it is about consciousness: the urge to explore, the revelation of time as a construct, and the discovery that Love is a dimension more fundamental than space-time itself.
