Dr. Pat’s talk for Sunday, February 22, is “New Wineskins.” If this reminds you of a bible story, that’s because it is. But fear not!

We conclude our series on the basics of the Science of Mind on Sunday, February 1, with “How To Use It.” The answer to “how to use it,” is actually super simple…but maybe not so easy. It could be answered in one simple sentence…but you’ll have to come to the Centre or watch the lovestream to find out what it is! This series continues to be an excellent lead-in to…

We continue our series on the basics of the teaching on Sunday, January 25, with “What It Does.” The “It” we are talking about is the Life Force Energy that expresses through every thing and every one.

This Sunday, January 18, we continue our series of talks on the basics of our teaching with “The Way It Works.” The “It” we are talking about is the Universal Law of Cause and Effect…and the bottom line is, it works for us by working through us. So we can either choose to work with it, or against it. Either way…it works. Join us as we learn how to work…

Dr. Pat’s talk for Sunday, January 11, is “The Thing Itself.” Traditionally, Centers for Spiritual Living will base the talks in January on the first four chapters of the Science of Mind text.

Our own Amy Bishop will be doing the Sunday celebration on Sunday, December 28, with a special end of the year Taize‘ service. If you are familiar with Taize‘, you know you’re in for a treat.

Dr. Pat’s talk title for Sunday, December 14, is “I Wonder Why.” As we head into the busy holiday season (often with family), we may find ourselves on both sides of judgment conundrum (passing it and feeling it).

Marjorie Contenti, will begin at 10:00 AM and…

Dr. Pat’s talk title for Sunday, November 30, is, “Hell In a Handbasket?” There seem to be a lot of people who feel as if the world is spinning out of control or going to “hell in a handbasket.” From some perspectives, it sure appears to be true. However, as the only thinkers in our minds, we can choose a different perspective, which gives way to a different experience. Our…

Dr. Pat’s talk title for Sunday, November 23, is, “What We Resist, Part Two.” If that sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because Amy Bishop used a similar title a few months ago, based on the phrase, “What we resist, persists.” Dr. Pat will share her own resistance stories and the subsequent lessons that accompanied them. Our meditation, facilitated by practitioner Lucille Worone, begins at 10:00 am, and our Sunday Celebration starts…

Dr. Pat’s talk for Sunday, November 16, is “The Road Ahead.” Sometimes in spiritual circles, we surrender to Spirit to such a degree that we relinquish our personal responsibility. We say things like, “I handed it all over to God.” However, when we truly understand that we are CO-creating with the Divine, we realize we must participate fully, not just go along for the ride. The morning meditation begins at…

Dr. Pat’s talk title for Sunday, November 9, is “Ignited by the Infinite.” She will be sharing a new understanding of a deeply passionate, yet somewhat over-looked, idea about relating to the Infinite.

This Sunday, November 2, Dr. Pat will give the talk she planned to give about F.E.A.R. We all know acronyms for the word fear – some funny, some naughty, and some inspiring.
