Hi all. Dr. Pat here. My talk for Sunday, September 27, is “I See You.” Remember the movie from a few years ago, called Avatar? Their greeting to each other was, “I see you,” meaning “I see your true essence in this moment.” During the current situation in the world, how wonderful it would be if we took the time to truly “see” one another. Join me for a meaningful discussion on improving our “seeing.” Join us for our morning meditation, led newly licensed practitioner Fran Watson, at 10:00 am, then our always incredible music, with Amy Bishop, Oliver Miguel […]

Hi all. The talk title for Sunday, September 13, is “Who’s Running the Show?” In these times that can be described as tumultuous, does it sometimes seem like the world around us is a little, or a lot, out-of-control? Political, social and perhaps personal upheaval may have us feeling unsettled and wondering who’s in charge – who’s running this show, anyway? Join Rev. Marjorie Contenti to hear inspiration on change in the face of seeming chaos, and be reminded who’s really in charge of your life. Join us for our morning meditation, led Rev.

Hi all. Dr. Pat here. My talk for Sunday, September 7, is “Prayer Changes Things.” I am aware that the word “prayer” might conjure up some old negativity for some people. But I had an experience last Sunday that proved to me, once and for all, that prayer changes things. Just maybe not the things you think… Join us for our morning meditation, led my practitioner Amy Bishop, at 10:00 am, then our always incredible music, with the CCSL band, will start right at 10:30.

Hi all. Dr. Pat here. My talk on Sunday, August 30, is “We Are One.” Probably the most fundamental aspect of our teaching is that we are all equal and part of each other — regardless of religion, education, race, gender, nationality, or sexual preference. At the same time, each of us is a unique expression of the Divine and here to live our individual lives in our own way. (It may sound like a contradiction, but it isn’t.) Join me for our Pride celebration, where everyone’s unique gifts, talents, and expressions are acknowledged and recognized. Plus, we have a […]

Hi all. Dr. Pat here. My talk title for Sunday, August 23, is, “I Have a Choice.” In challenging times like what we are experiencing, it sometimes feels as if we don’t have a lot of choices. For “free thinking” people like us, it can be difficult. Yet, the fact is, we always have a choice… It’s one of the most basic of spiritual truths. The morning meditation at 10:00 will be provided by Rev. Marjorie Contenti. And our always incredible music, with Amy and the gang, will start right at 10:30.

Hi all. Dr. Pat here. My talk for Sunday, August 9, is “I Don’t Wanna!” Sometimes, when we are presented with a practice or suggestion that would be good for us, our initial reaction is to say, “I don’t wanna.” And yet, when we do it, things change for the better.

Hi all. The talk title for Sunday, July 26, is “I Am a Part of IT.” In order for us to belong, we have to learn that it is not happening on a whim, but rather, by a Law that is set in motion by each individual. Therefore, can we look at what is happening right now as the best thing that ever happened to us? Join Rev. Monika Krammer as she explores the path from fear to Love, in an orderly but somewhat messy way. Plus, practitioner Amy Bishop will be providing the meditation, in addition […]
