The Bible Timeline Study
Each week there is some recommended readings to be done before we meet. **Please see the attached schedule for this week's readings.**
The Bible Timeline® study program takes you on a guided journey through salvation history. Presenter Jeff Cavins will show you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and will give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture.
The Bible Timeline will teach you how to read and understand the entire Bible and introduce you to the wonderful narrative of Scripture in a way that will transform your life.
The online material can be bought online through the link below (optional). However, each session we can share copies for you to have discussion questions in class and reading guideline for the next session.

Sacred Geometry workshop
Everything in the universe is created through letters, numbers, and sound; which then creates shapes and patterns. The world around us is a blueprint of how the universe grows and communicates. From the growth of plants, the proportions of our body, to artwork, and the sounds of music, it is everywhere. We call the study and understanding of this language Sacred Geometry.
Sacred Geometry looks at these patterns and proportions as an expression of the Divine. In studying these geometric patterns and vibrational energies, one comes to more of an understanding of the language of the universe, and how to work with these shapes and patterns to support them in life.
In this class, you will learn how to:
1. Awaken and invoke the 3 primary keys of sacred geometry within your being
2. Connect yourself with your higher self using these 3 sacred keys
3. Have a greater awareness of the how sacred geometry is working with you in your life
4. Activate, seal, and protect your physical space from outside energetic forces
5. Create a temple space for healing, meditation, worship

Please stay for light refreshments afterward.

**Benefits**
* learn to go inside yourself to discover the source of all Truth
* meet a God-Realized spiritual teacher who also functions, by invitation, as an inner spiritual guide to help discover your own inner truth
Spiritual teachers from an ancient lineage walk among us today—Adepts who have mastered the spiritual laws of life, embodying them in thought, word, and deed. Teachers of the highest order.
These are the ECK Masters.
Chief among them is the Mᴀʜᴀɴᴛᴀ, the Living ECK Master. As an inner and outer spiritual teacher, his role is to awaken the God-knowledge already within you.
This discussion, following an earlier online and in-person ECK Light and Sound Service, features a pre-recorded talk by Sri Doug Kunin, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, followed by facilitated breakout discussions.
*It’s the same eternal mission for every Living ECK Master: to awaken the God-knowledge already within the human heart. To help people become aware of who they really are – Soul, a unique, eternal, divine spark of God.*
**\~ Sri Doug Kunin**, Spiritual Leader of Eckankar
This series of discussions enables you to meet with like-minded and like-hearted spiritually oriented co-learners who want to raise their spiritual IQ, not only to access higher states of positivity and balance, but also to add tools to their spiritual toolkit that help them function with more love, grace and service in daily life.
*Eckankar already has students in 120 countries. While many people may not know about us, we have a global presence. Eckankar is not here to convert anyone. We honour individual choice and belief. Do the ECK tools and techniques help you find truth? Only you can decide.*
*But even as a wide variety of our digital communications are expanding Eckankar’s worldwide presence, it’s not about the quantity of people we reach, but the quality of connection.*
*Eckankar is only as good as its ability to help people connect with the divine principle. Are we able to do that in a way anyone can understand and apply? That’s key.*
**\~ Sri Doug Kunin,** Spiritual Leader of Eckankar

"Creative people who cherish the gift of life often slip into the secret chambers of the creative mind. Their solutions are well-rounded, more sensible than those of people who rely solely upon reason as their mainstay. Gratitude unseals fountains of creativity, because a grateful person is relaxed. This allows him to take stock of these circumstances with an objective mind. A creative person often gets three-dimensional answers to his problems."
—Harold Klemp, *The Language of Soul*, p. 66

Columbus: A Study In Psalms--Psalm 3 and 4
Most people would agree that a great night's sleep is one of the sweetest experiences in life. Crawling into a wonderfully comfortable bed, drifting off to peaceful slumber, and awaking, feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for the day is a gift everyone welcomes. Unfortunately, nights of perfect sleep and restfulness can seem scarce. Particularly, during the truly hard times in life, good sleep can seem an impossibility.
The ancient shepherd-crowned-king, David, knew more than the average person about the challenge of getting a good night's sleep in the midst of being falsely maligned, hunted by enemies, and attacked by those who wanted him dead. He understood the terror of running for his life, and having thousands call for his death. What was his answer? Where could a man on the run find peace? What hope was there for a person in such circumstances?
David's hope and peace were found in the One Who he knew was Perfect Truth, Justice, Mercy, and Grace, the God Who had delivered His people before and Who would do so again, and again, and again. Because of God's provision David twice details that even in the midst of his enemies, he would "lie down and sleep, and wake again."
Psalm 3 and 4 point us to the hope in which those who follow after the Lord can be confident--that from the Lord comes deliverance. Join us at **6:30 pm, Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**, and be encouraged from God's Word!

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
