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.

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. It is a great reminder for those who have been around, and a great beginning for our newer folks. We haven’t done it for a few years, so now is your chance to learn the basics (in a fun, interesting, relevant way). And it is an excellent lead-in to a NEW Foundations course coming in February!

Posted in Sunday Talk.

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. If you are not, think of it as a beautiful time of music, message, and contemplation. It is a wonderful way to end the year in sacredness and make room for the “what is to be.” The morning’s meditation, beginning at 10:00 a.m., will also be facilitated by Amy, who is a licensed practitioner with our Centre. The Sunday Celebration begins at 10:30.

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). This Sunday, we will discuss the importance of, as Ted Lasso taught us, “Being curious, not judgmental.” Our Sunday morning meditation, facilitated by Rev. Marjorie Contenti, will begin at 10:00 AM and our Sunday Celebration begins at 10:30 with Elevation!

Dr. Pat’s talk title for Sunday, December 7, is “Where Two or More are Gathered.” It’s an old biblical term about the power of shared belief, that is as active and important today as it was when it was written. As we approach the holidays, join us for a conversation on the power of community. Our meditation, facilitated by practitioner Valda Harris, begins at 10:00 am, and our Sunday Celebration starts promptly at 10:30.

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 meditation, facilitated by practitioner Lance Rath, begins at 10:00 am mountain, and our Sunday Celebration starts promptly at 10:30.

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 promptly at 10:30.
