“3 Paths to Acceptance”
Reverend Tanya comments, “We will explore 3 areas of acceptance: self-acceptance, other acceptance and Gods’ acceptance. In collaboration with master song writer, Danny Barca, who will sum up each focus with one of his original songs. Look forward to a great Sunday Celebration experience.” ❤️
“Exploring Acceptance”
Reverend Tanya comments, “It has been said that the state of acceptance is one of the highest forms of consciousness possible. The serenity prayer encourages us to accept the things we cannot change and to have the courage to change the things we can, using wisdom to know the difference. This talk will explore the concept of acceptance.” ❤️
“Enough Already”
Reverend Ruth Barnhart comments, “We are approaching approaching the one year mark of being ‘sheltered in place’. How do we embrace life wholeheartedly if we can’t even embrace our families? Where do we find our love and joy? Stay tuned…” ❤️
Pieces of the ONE
Licensed Spiritual Practitioner Jade Aldrich speaks on the topic “Wholeheartedness.” Jade invites us each to consider the opportunity to discover deeper love for Self, Others, and God within the heartbreak we experience as human beings. Join her talk and guided meditation for encouragement in your life exactly where you are… ❤️
The Romantic Notion of Unconditional Love
Ron Nadeau says, “It is Valentines Day. It’s all about Love of Course. ONLY LOVE”
Wholeheartedness
Reverend Tanya comments, “What is it to be whole hearted? It is said that the heartbeat of the Universe is at the center of every living soul and the Presence of God within us waits patiently for our recognition. What would life be like if we believed that there is in the heart of every person, an open door toward the eternal and through that open door the messages of Divine Wisdom can come?”
Reverend Tanya comments, “Every year our MCSL membership is asked to attend our annual membership meeting. At our Membership meeting, we will celebrate last year’s accomplishments, review board actions and look forward to the future events! By attending you assist us to maintain our non-profit status by forming a quorum to vote on the board actions of 2020 and discuss the board actions proposed for 2021 and give feedback to our MCSL Board of Trustees. In this way you help maintain our life-transforming mission.”
“No Where to Go, Nothing to Do”
Reverend Ruth comments, “It’s a new year and people are ready for change. The resolutions have been made, intentions set, vision boards created. Now what? How do we start over and create a better life? Or do we? A new take on the new year.”
Ron Nadeau comments, “We are in a time of turmoil and transformation ~ It is time to awaken the dreamer, to wake-up to the dream of wholeness ~ in this talk we shall explore dissolving the old dream structures by living the dream vision of our true nature.”
In this heart-talk on New Beginnings, Carolyne Cathey encourages us, saying: “Let’s look at New Beginnings from a bigger perspective as we’re starting a new year and creating a strong fresh start into our beautiful New Year through practices that include self love, compassion and gratitude. Shed layers of the old and join us on this talk with a special guided meditation for setting an intention for 2021 to be magical, healing and fun!

Rev Tanya comments: “Come join us in our Christmas Celebration honoring the Christ Light. Rainah Dancing Waters will grace us with 3 beautiful songs as we will light 3 candles- to honor the Trinity: The Divine Light Itself, the Christ Light Within and the Spirit of Truth Itself.”
Rev Tanya comments: “Today we will light candles together and celebrate the returning of the Light at this Winter Solstice Celebration. Danny Barca will help us celebrate with his uplifting music as we leave the increasing darkness behind and move steadily forward into greater Light and lightness...”
Rev Ruth comments: “We spend a lot of time finding, improving, or just proving ourselves. How do we actually answer the ancient question ‘who am I?’. This is the key to claiming and expressing our gifts in the world.”
Ron Nadeau comments: “The purpose of this talk is to recognize the Nature Reality and gain Access your inner knowing. It is through personal experience that we come to knowing ~ not from theory and concept. There will be time allotted for inquiry”
Reverend Tanya comments: “One of the best spiritual tools for uplifting the spirit and acknowledging the presence of Spirit is making a gratitude list. Giving thanks is a consciousness which expresses our complete acceptance and receptivity of our good ~ that which is already present and already ours ~ so that we receive the fullness of the gifts of life.
Eric Butterworth writes that thanksgiving is not just a reactionary emotion, it is a causative energy. God doesn’t “need” our thanks, but it does make a difference to us. It is a state of consciousness that keeps us in tune with the Divine flow.”
“I give thanks and I’m filled with appreciation, for the gifts I receive from life, every moment.”
Reverend Ruth comments: “It is said that change is the only constant. We depend on it when we are praying for a healing or to have a greater or new experience. At the same time, we look to life to be consistent and to remain as it is, when we are enjoying what is before us.
When we are struggling, it so often feels like we are unable to see or even believe in change. So what is our role in this process of transitions? How do we bring them about or just deal with them as they unfold? ”
Sylvia comments: “Times of transition bring opportunities for breakdown or breakthrough. Of the many spiritual principles that guide and support us through these episodes, one of the most potent is staying present in the moment. Join me for a journey exploring intentional transformation.”
Love Melting Into Love
Sally Wells comments: “We are continually in transitions of one kind or another, it is part of life right? And it is also all part of God! The unfolding of ourselves is a Divine process... and as such we are fully supported and loved exactly as we are right now. It is this realization of Grace that transforms our experience of life’s transitions and lovingly guides us home to love”.
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will conduct a special CandleLighting Ceremony, in honor of the Day of the Dead, for all who have transitioned from this earth life. Death brings up this question- “What is eternal and what is temporary?” Humans have wrestled with the meaning of death from the time we were able to contemplate such things. In this season, a Celtic Druid celebration, a holiday called Sadheim, has spread throughout the Western world- we call it All Souls Day, the day of the dead. This is a holy day that acknowledges and speaks to a very deep part of our collective consciousness.
