RESET AND RELAX
Soul Time
During the month of JANUARY Reverend
Glenda and Reverend Judy invite us to join them in spiritual community as the brand new year gets underway.
While on the surface it seems to be a dormant month, January is actually when many of us take time to relax and reset intentions for the coming year.
Typically we look to start new things and release what no longer works well in our lives.
As with nature itself, we are called to rest, to watch and wait. This is actually an active process of opening space for 'soul time'.
During the month we will work toward seeing what matters most to us in life; to discover the purposes we have come here to live from.
Relaxing into this quiet time of reflection provides a stable place to be as we look out into the shifting landscape of our lives to uncover the blueprints for action that will carry us forward in the days and months ahead.
'Soul time' helps remind us of what is important in a way that empowers us to step into a field of creative potential.
Rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, and reflection taken in small, sweet steps, one at a time, helps create profound change and shifts our whole life to a new level.
This is a perfect talk series for anyone who is ready and willing to live an examined life and focus attention on what's meaningful and worthwhile.
Common Ground is an open accepting spiritual community where everyone is welcome.
Please join us for inspirational messages at Common Ground each Sunday at 10:30 am.

TITHING 2014
May All That We Give and All The We Receive Be Blessed and Multiplied. As We Give, So Shall We Receive ~ Common Ground is truly blessed and in turn becomes a blessing in the world
Common Ground
reaches out to the global community through our
spiritual
practice of conscious giving.
Giving back
to the
world
is an important aspect of our mission and
vision. A
balanced integral approach is reflected in
conscious
selection of 501c3 qualified programs and
institutions
to which Common Ground provides tithes each
month.
Recipients of Common Ground 2013
tithes
include:
IONS
(Institute of
Noetic Sciences), advancing the science of
consciousness and human experience to serve
individual and collective transformation; Kiva,
empowering people to lift themselves out of
poverty;
Project
HOPE School, (Homeless
Outreach Program in Education), helping
children without permanent homes transition
into the mainstream educational system;
Walking
Shield, helping to improve the
quality of life for American Indian families;
, The Humane Society of Dover-Stewart County, a not-for-profit organization rescuing abused, abandoned and neglected animals and placing them into good homes, Mercy House Fare Share Program, providing bus passes for homeless men, women and children in search of a better life, and The Avielle Foundation, a non-profit foundation created by the parents of a child victim of the Sandy Hook killings, aiming to support and protect vulnerable loved ones and to strengthen communities through brain health initiatives and community engagement.
The organizations to
which
Common Ground tithes are meaningful programs
where people from the spiritual community and
its
friends are already serving with heart and
hand, and
supporting with time and treasure.
