GrLinda Olivereetings,
Well, the cold is finally leaving Oklahoma, replaced by occasional pleasantly warm days. The trees are in bloom now. We seem to have more young adult does. It is very enjoyable to walk through the village, although I am walking slower because I am learning to walk without a cane.

This month we have our Showcase of Talents to interest you in Wellness, with the choice of two tracks of either Self-Discovery or Self-Love experiences. This will include interesting talks/discussions; three personal, private appointments; and two of our students will present their 90 min. papers as part of the completion of their required work.

Come and join us for this exciting week, which we have not presented in a very long time, and set-up appointment times with our honored staff.

Blessings,
Rev. Linda Oliver

Palm Sunday

"Working With Divine Will"
Rev. Peggy Eaton

Pamela RamsfieldIsn't Palm Sunday ironic? In the span of just a few short hours, Jesus, the Christ, went from hearing "loud Hosanna's" to hearing the pounding of nails. How about that for a transformational process?  And you think you have a bad day! We will explore the benefits and risks of following and working with Divine Will. Please ponder a time when you followed Divine Will. Come prepared to share with the group the benefits and risks you experienced in that process.

We will explore some of our deepest truths at this special time of remembrance and celebration of the accomplishment of Master Jesus.

"By Virtue of Thy Light"
Rev.
Tom Simota

Tom SimotaWe are charged to ignite a love to light the world, and this morning we will start by remembering those that tended the sacred flame that burned constantly in the temples -- yes, the Vestal Virgin. The Vestal Virgin is a representation of our conscience -- a symbol of that mystical point of Light within a Greater Light. By examining several of the virtues, we will glean wisdom to show us the ideal of life toward which we strive as Light Workers.

"Our Walk to Emmaus"
Rev. Steven Chase

Steve ChaseWalking the Spiritual Path is part of our life journey. On the road to Emmaus the disciples failed to recognize Master Jesus, just as we often do not see the Teacher in our midst. Today's message will focus on what walking to Emmaus can mean to us on our Path of Discipleship and what we are called to do once we reach the Village!
