June Theme: How Life Responds to Us
The Science of Mind teaches that our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations shape our experience of life. As Ernest Holmes often reminded us, life responds to us according to the tendency of the thoughts and beliefs we hold. This month, we will explore the relationship between our inner world and our outer experience and discover the creative power we possess to influence the direction of our lives.
Each of us carries beliefs, assumptions, and habits of thought that direct our relationships, finances, health, and creative expression. When one area of life feels out of alignment, the invitation is to become more conscious of the ideas we are living from rather than to assign blame to ourselves or others.
Through this series, you'll discover practical spiritual principles for shifting your thinking, expanding your awareness, and creating greater harmony, prosperity, and fulfillment.
Join us each Sunday in June and discover how changing your think can change your experience of life.
Sunday, June 7th: When Yes Changes Everything with Rev Jill Clements
Commitment is more than a decision. It is an energy that shapes our experience of life. You may have heard the saying, "When we say Yes to the Universe, the Universe says Yes to us." That "Yes" is commitment. We'll explore the power of commitment, how it creates a field of possibility around us, and how strengthening our commitment can help us move from intention to living our lives by design. Join us as we discover how commitment- and follow through - work in partnership with the creative process of life. Live Music with Sally Jo Bannow.
Sunday, June 14th: Beyond Why: Creating What's Next with Rev Jill Clements
When something is not working in our lives, our first instinct is often to ask, Why did this happen? What caused it? While understanding can be valuable, dwelling on causes can keep us focused on the very conditions we want to change. Through the lens of the creative process, we'll discover how to shift our attention from circumstances to possibilities, from conditions to creation, and from asking why to consciously choosing what's next. Join us as we learn to let go of why and set new and life-affirming causes into motion. It's Flag Day!
Sunday, June 21st: Hello?… Is It working? with Guest Speaker Rev Lee Hite
We will explore the moments when we feel like life is NOT working for us, and also when it IS. No doubt there are moments of uncertainty, fear and anxiety as we walk this path of growth. Times when affirmative Prayer, Spiritual Mind Treatment, affirmations and the like all appear to be failing us; but are they really? Join us as Rev. Lee Hite returns to share his insight into how it works, and the moments when it appears NOT to be working. Summer Solstice, Father’s Day.
Sunday, June 28th: Connected By Design with Rev Jill Clements
What if separation is only an illusion? The Science of Mind & Spirit teaches us that we are expressions of one Life, connected to each other and to Spirit in ways we often overlook. We’ll explore the spiritual truth of oneness, discover why we are Connected by Design, and learn how living from that awareness can bring greater harmony, compassion, and meaning to our lives.
