This week : What does it mean to stay open in a time of intensity? How can we stay open to others while navigating fear and conflict? This week, our Youth help us explore how cultivating collaboration, and vulnerability can lead to greater strength and connection.
(Monthly summary:) This month we explore the significance of fear and fury (anger) in our spiritual development. Anger as a Force for Change explores how we can honor our anger and still choose love as we consider change. Fierce Clarity: When Fear Becomes a Compass encourages us to see fear as a means of moving toward clarity rather than confusion. Brave Choices calls us to the courage to choose love in challenging situations. Turning Conflict into Connection encourages us to build bridges instead of walls. Finally, Building an Open and Collaborative Environment brings the theme together by looking at how to stay open amid a fear response.Book Recommendation: Brown, Brené. “Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.”
Our weekly Sunday Service explores ideas from many faith traditions and how to live practically as a spiritual person in today's world. We are based on the Science of Mind, (not related to Scientology) the work of Ernest Holmes, one of the best known New Thought teachers and writers of the 20th century. We have music, meditation, talk, and a youth program. We are an open and affirming community for all. We begin with a 15 minute meditation at 10:30. The service, beginning at 11, consists of an opening prayer, meditation, music, talk, and an invitation to support this community. In addition to being in-person, we livestream to YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgO1a71-xK5o8JL8vMaPbYA
