EXPERIENCING LIFE'S JOURNEY AT ITS BEST
HEARTS & HANDS
Common Ground is pleased to support Church of the Foothills, an Emergency Shelter Host Congregation, working together with Family Promise to house and meet the needs of homeless families with children in Orange County.

On Sunday evening, October 30, Common Ground's Outreach team will prepare and serve dinner to the three families who will be spending the night on the church campus.

This Outreach project is an opportunity to help support the vision of Family Promise, which believes that no child should have to sleep in a car, in a park, or under a bridge, and that every family deserves a chance to be whole and have a roof over their head.  

Interested in participating?  Contact us at info@embracehumanity.com

SOUL TRUTH

During the month of October Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy invite us to join them in a series of talks that will help us remember that Soul Truth is always available when we allow ourselves to enter its field without fear.

They will encourage us to open to the direct experience of a sense of wonder and freedom.

Each week they will introduce a new topic and tools to help us fully embrace our human walk in the world; moving in the direction of being fully present in gratitude and love as the truth of our soul's journey.  

They will challenge us to consider that the aim of human life is to know our Soul Truth consciously and to live the calm, fearless, and selflessly loving life that arises from that knowing.  

This is a perfect talk topic to take us into the season of transition from summer to winter.  Get prepared for the coming holiday season and turning of the wheel into a new year.

These are complex times.  Living in tune with Soul Truth that is balanced, peaceful, reverent, joyful, and simple is possible.  Set that intention now.  Cultivate the capacity to thrive through the many changes in your own life and the complex world.

Please join us every week for an hour of inspiration, music, message and meditation.

Everyone is invited and included.  

Come as you are.  As you are is perfect.
