What’s Love Got to Do With It?


As Reverend Ruth Barnhart notes, “It is said that God is Love.  Here we say that we are love.  So what are we to do about all those other feelings that creep in?  How do we become more loving,  or are we meant to just rid ourselves of all that is not love?  In the world of so much division and hatefulness, where is all this divine love? ❤️

The Celebration of the Sacred


Reverend Ruth Barnhart notes, “December is a month rich with spiritual celebrations, Advent and Christmas, Hanukkah, the pagan celebration of Yule on the Winter Solstice; a time that calls many to prayer, feasts and fasts.  But if the Divine is ever present, how do we distinguish between that which is sacred and profane and what about all the mundane of life in-between the holidays?” ❤️

It’s All Sacred Ground

As Sylvia Gilmour notes, “I see reverence, in our theme for December, as a personal spiritual practice that recognizes and honors the presence of the sacred in everything.  It is deep respect accompanied by active engagement with what we cherish.  We’ll enjoy a poetic exploration of the mystery and wonder of choosing love for ALL of life.”
