Posted in Sunday Talk.

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 in harmony with it…it’ll change your life! This series is an excellent lead-in to a NEW Foundations course coming in February! Check the website and newsletter for more information on […]

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! (More details soon) Our morning meditation, facilitated by licensed practitioner, Lucille […]

Sunday Talk – “Taize’ Service. Music, Message & Contemplation”

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.

Posted in Sunday Talk.

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. Check our website or newsletter for upcoming events, including an Amy Bishop Christmas Concert and Special Holiday Celebration on December 21!

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. We have two new programs starting this week, including weekly Monday night meditation (see link further down in this email) and Wednesday in-person Grief Group, facilitated by […]

Sunday Talk – “The Road Ahead”

Posted on November 10, 2025November 10, 2025

Posted in Sunday Talk.

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 10:00 am mountain, and the Sunday Celebration starts promptly at 10:30! We have lots of new programs and activities coming up, including a Christmas Concert!
