Hippo Birdie Two Ewe Charles Fillmore
If we look at nature, it seems as though most every life form has a sense of purpose. Not consciously perhaps, but life does continue to march forward — always creating, always birthing, always evolving, and therefore, always questioning. It was Charles Fillmore’s birthday August 22, so, together with guest speaker Rev. Kelly Isola, let’s meet the “man behind the curtain". What do you give a man who has everything on his birthday? We shall give him the gift of honoring his commitment to evolutionary thinking and challenging some conventional wisdom.
Join us as we welcome Rev. Kelly Isola for an inspiring message, and enjoy beautiful music and the opportunity to spend time with friends and loved ones.
The Jewish New Year: Reflection, Repentance, Return.
The Jewish High Holy Days are a time of looking inward, assessing our behavior, and doing the work of Teshuvah: or making amends for mistakes we've made during the past year. Cantor Sheri Allen will focus on how the holidays of Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the day of Atonement) differ from our secular New Year's celebrations, and how the traditions and rituals surrounding these "Days of Awe" create meaningful memories, inspire internal growth and change, and help us to set new goals in the year to come.
Join us for an enriching message, beautiful music, and friendly fellowship.
My Inner Critic
Meet my inner critic… maybe you have one too! This presentation is about identifying the inner critic and what to do about it. Self-awareness and self-compassion are key. What is self-compassion? How do we do it? Why is it important in your spiritual journey?
Join us on Sunday for an inspiring message and music, and enjoy food & fellowship at our Second Sunday Potluck after service.
Be Excellent to Each Other
In the Christian bible, we learn that Jesus gave only two commandments: 1) Love God and 2) Love Your Neighbor as Yourself. Regarding loving our neighbor, it’s easy to be kind and hospitable to those who think and behave like us, isn’t it? Those are usually our good friends whom we have chosen, often because they believe as we do about many aspects of life. It is considerably harder to be fond of those who appear to be in total opposition to our values and desires.
Join us this Sunday as we look at Scripture and other sources for important guidance in expanding our concept of neighbor.
How Things Can (Finally) Go Our Way
Have you ever asked yourself why things do not always go the way we planned? Have you looked for reasons why and tended to find fault in yourself or others? What if it is no one's fault at all? Preceding our Sacred Water Ceremony, Rev. Jean-Marie will talk about some of the most misunderstood spiritual ideas that lead us to believe that we are anything but perfect, causing us to stand in our own way rather than going with the flow, giving us an opportunity to forgive and let go what no longer serves us on our spiritual path. Join us for this special 5th Sunday service to participate in a brand-new ceremony. Enjoy some inspiring music and great fellowship after service. You deserve it.
Taming the Spiritual Basket Case
Have you ever wondered why, despite learning so many different ways to be spiritual, we might still end up overwhelmed? After recognizing the value of our spiritual legacy over the past couple of weeks, we are now entering the practical side of bringing forth such legacy in our daily lives. Join us this Sunday for another uplifting and practical message, accompanied by exciting music, and followed by meaningful fellowship.
Leaving a (Spiritual) Legacy – Part II
Building upon last week's message, Rev. Jean-Marie will explore the deeper meaning of the Book of Job and how it applies to leaving a spiritual legacy in the here and now. What can we learn from Job's lamentations, his friends advice, the unexpected revelations of Elihu (the inner voice), and God's response?
Join us this Sunday as we embrace our true Legacy for everyone to treasure, accompanied by uplifting music, and meaningful fellowship.
Leaving a (Spiritual) Legacy – Part I
Have you ever wondered what about the legacy you will leave to this world? Is it something you plan for the future or do you realize the opportunity to do so in the here and now? Join us this Sunday to consider the possibility for all of us to leave our spiritual legacy as we are rather than waiting for some future point in time. In other words, what legacy are you leaving already for the Goodness of All?
Our talented music team will treat us to their Goodness with wonderful performances of songs by Daniel Nahmod, and following our service, we have opportunities to dig deeper into the message, serve our community, and share a meal and fellowship with others.
The Joys and Burdens of Freedom
True freedom often seems hard to come by, almost like a rare commodity. Sometimes, it brings us joy. Other times, it feels like a burden we must carry. This Sunday, we will learn more about the joys and burdens we may carry when considering our spiritual freedoms and how we can successfully alleviate any challenges we might experience in feeling truly free.
Join us for a meaningful service, beautiful music, and the opportunity to fellowship in celebration of our freedom.
Stump the Minister
Join us for another fun Stump the Minister Sunday, where Rev. Jean-Marie will sweat it out while trying to answer congregant questions he's never seen. Do you have a heart-felt and meaningful question about your spirituality and how it is applied to your life? There's still time to ask a question!
We'll also enjoy beautiful music brought to us by our amazing music team, as well as the opportunity to come together in fellowship after service. See you there!
Walking the Balance Beam
Creating a well-balanced life is very important, and yet, it can be difficult. It is not uncommon to find oneself overloaded at times, even pouring all our energy into one or two areas of life while neglecting other essential aspects. We’ll explore holistic ways to build and maintain a harmonious balance in life and affirm the Wholeness we truly are.
Join us for this journey, accompanied by wonderful music, and heart-warming fellowship after service.
The Soul of Money – Part 2
Continuing our journey in exploring the soul of money based on the equally titled book by Lynne Twist, we'll dive deeper into the downfalls and opportunities surrounded by the idea of expressing our soul's desire through the money we have available to us.
Join us for an inspiring and uplifting exploration of what so often is the cause for much pain and concern, accompanied by wonderful music, and heart-warming fellowship after service.
Coming to Your Senses: How to Connect with the Wisdom of the Earth
Rev. Dr. Ahriana Platten talks to trees, listens to rivers, and experiences nature as a wise teacher. This Sunday, she’ll share how she's been guided by plants, animals and other living things, and she’ll explain how we can use our senses to connect fully with the spirit of the Divine in all its forms.
Join us for an inspiring message, uplifting music, and connect with our community in fellowship.
The Soul of Money
Have you ever asked yourself why, when it comes to matters of money, our spirituality seems to dissipate rather quickly? Inspired by the book "The Soul of Money," we will begin a journey into the heart and soul of why our attachment to monetary things are hindering our spiritual growth and so much more.
Join us as we explore this important topic, then grab some lunch and come back to enjoy our Spring Concert!
He Is Risen! Now What? (Part 2 of 2)
Building upon last Sunday's message on how spiritual growth toward enlightenment or awakening is a matter of continued reflection, we will navigate the idea of living a life in Divine Perfection by chopping wood and carrying water within the flawed world we often perceive.
Join us for a revealing contemplation of our own spiritual journey while enjoying some inspiring music and great fellowship after service.
He Is Risen! Now What? (Part 1 of 2)
Have you ever asked yourself what came after the resurrection? And, if anything, how would that apply in your life today? This Sunday, we'll discuss the ins and outs of continued spiritual growth after realizing that what seems to be the ultimate goal may just be another invitation to move forward and upward more than ever.
Join us for an inspiring message designed to help you determine what's next in your spiritual journey, and enjoy beautiful music while gathering with friendly faces.
The Jewish Passover Seder: Reliving the Exodus from Egypt
This Sunday, we welcome a special guest speaker, Cantor Sheri Allen of Congregation Beth Shalom in Arlington, TX.
Cantor Sheri will describe how the commandment to observe the holiday of Passover given in the Torah (5 Books of Moses) transformed into the Passover Seder that Jewish families have been observing for generations. Come take a deep dive into the Hagaddah, or special book that retells this story through the blessing and eating of special symbolic foods, the singing of prayers and songs, and the asking of many questions!
Join us for this unique opportunity to learn about this important Jewish tradition, deepening our own spiritual understanding in the process.
Claiming Your Soulful Spirit
Sometimes, it can be challenging to navigate the differences between one's body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit/Spirit. How much of each is relevant in our daily lives? Can we learn something useful by knowing the difference and appropriately apply our Wholeness to any situation. Does all of this matter anyway?
This Sunday, we'll explore one of the deeper questions that many of us may have come to ask ourselves and see if we can apply it usefully in whatever is going on in our lives and the world.
Join us for an inspiring message, beautiful music, and the opportunity to connect with other souls in loving fellowship.
