“Push the Re-Set Button!”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will speak on the theme of Creativity/Creation. She comments, “It is a New Year - time to empty out the old and embrace the Now and all it’s possibilities. Let’s join together and push the re-set button. Refresh Your Self by Being Fully Present!” ❤️
“When New Year's resolutions turn into New Year's revolutions.”
George D'Amato has lovingly prepared a presentation titled "When New Year's resolutions turn into New Year's revolutions.” He will examine why some of our best intentions are not successful and how to use 'New Thought' to change this to outstanding results. ❤️
“Christmas Sunday Candlelighting Celebration ”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will Conduct the Christmas Candlelighting Ceremony, in which we light candles to honor the Christ Light Within us all and to celebrate the increasing of the Light on our earth. The candle represents the Oneness of all life and the Source of Creation, the flame represents the Divine Spark, the Infinite Self within all of us, the light represents the radiation of pure Spirit that dispels the darknes and illuminates our way. Come join us in honoring the Light within. ❤️
“As It Was In The Beginning”
Reverend Ruth Barnhart, will address these questions: “What is my responsibility to the world? Do I have a purpose? What is mine to do to ‘co-create a world that works for everyone? Or is it just myself I am here to heal or grow? Why can’t I…? How do I…?
These are just some of the questions I hear regularly. We will open to what it truly means to be a light-being.”
“Living from the Light Within”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower, will speak on the topic “Living from the Light Within”. She will explore what it means to work with the Inner Light and Wisdom that guides us to our greater Good. ❤️
“Light Workers”
George D'Amato, practitioner of the decade, will speak on the Topic "Light Workers". He will dive deeply into the realm of the Light Workers and examine the many types of light work, explaining how this all fits into 'New Thought'. ❤️
“Gratitude Tree Ceremony”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will conduct the Gratitude Tree Ceremony, where we write out on a little tag what we are grateful for and place it on our Gratitude Tree.
I think at least once a year it isn’t too much to ask ourselves to consider what it is in our lives that we wish to give thanks for - do you? Our theme for this month is Appreciation. I’ve been thinking about all the support and assistance our Center receives every day, given freely from the hearts and souls of our brothers and sisters. Our Center is a member run Center, comprised mostly of volunteers and a few people who get paid a small amount to do a great deal of service for us. I have found that when we give to an idea larger than ourselves, we receive more than we give, always. It appears we cannot out give the Universe!” ❤️
Reverend Ruth Barnhart will speak on our theme of Appreciation by asking: “How do we practice gratitude when our lives are full of challenges? Aren’t we just distracting ourselves or doing spiritual bypass? Let us explore the true power of appreciation; what it is, how and where to find it, and then what it really does?” ❤️
“Appreciation - It’s Place in Our Spiritual Lives.”
Long Time Practitioner George D'Amato will examine meanings and look at the place 'Appreciation' has in our daily spiritual life. Why is appreciation so important and to where does it lead us on this spiritual path? ❤️
“Day of the Dead Candlelighting Ceremony”
Reverend Tanya comments, “On this Sunday, we conduct the Day of the Dead Candlelighting ceremony. We will light a candle for those who have gone on before us and honor their lives and their contributions to our lives. This year we will also honor the 5 members of our Spiritual Ceremony who have died: Jack Gilmour, Gracie Fantulin, Terry Anderson, Marilynn Henes and Wysteria Owen.
“Standing in the Truth”
Sally Wells comments, “Surrendering to Truth is a powerful act. It takes great courage to stand in the center of the fire and not shrink back, knowing what is of God will remain.” ❤️
“Standing in the Truth”
Reverend Ruth Barnhart comments, “What do we mean by surrender? What are we letting go of exactly? Do we really believe that we are part of one life, held in its perfect embrace? Let's join together into the practice and see what we find, who and what is left when we give up for the One Presence.” ❤️
“Claiming My Hammock”
Practitioner Graduate, Sylvia Gilmour comments, “It’s been said that pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. When we resist what’s happening, life doesn’t flow smoothly. When we have the courage to surrender and accept what our present reality actually is, we can then release what isn’t—allowing us to find the serenity and strength to choose responsible action in each situation.” ❤️
“The Spiritual Magic of Surrender ”
Retired Licensed Practitioner, George D’Amato will examine what we surrender to, why we surrender and the inevitable results of this paradoxical choice. ❤️
“Take Nothing Personally, Take Everything Personally”
As Reverend Ruth Barnhart notes, “In this world with a global pandemic, global warming, global power struggles, social injustice, and financial inequity, it is easy to want to find someone to blame. How do we deal with personal angst and helplessness? Is it appropriate to just ignore it and try to enjoy our own private lives? What are we actually responsible for? Let us take a giant leap into accountability and see where we land.” ❤️
“Accountability in Song”
Join us in a musical Sunday as Reverend Tanya Wyldflower and musician Danny Barca team up to explore 4 areas of Accountability: Self Honesty, Choosing Responsibility, Listening to Higher Source and Recognizing our Unity with each other~ what we do affects each other. ❤️
“From Victimhood to Accountability and Beyond”
Retired Licensed Practitioner, George D’Amato, will examine how and why we come to believe that we are victims, and how that robs us of accountability. He will provide a workable solution to this common problem and show the path that leads to Oneness. ❤️
“Accounting for What?”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower notes: Our new theme for the month is Accountability. We approach this idea not as an obligation to be done because we are pressured to conform but as a sacred honor deeply needed by the All That Is ~ needed to meet the existential risks we are all facing today. The real question is ~ What is Yours to do? ❤️
“Perfect Moment, Perfect Day”
For a month we have been exploring thriving. So are you thriving now? What makes that so, or not? What do I need to do or who do I need to be to have a thriving life and to keep it thriving? ❤️
“New Thoughts on Thriving”
Would you like to receive the key to Thriving? Retired Licensed Practitioner, George D’Amato will present the irrefutable links between New Thought philosophy and thriving. If you would like the key - he will show you the link! ❤️
