EVERYDAY BLESSING

During the month of November Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy will help us move toward becoming centered and balanced before the busy holiday season gets into full swing.  

They will focus on the idea that giving and receiving blessings has the power to enrich our lives and bring deep meaning to living in the Universe.  

They will help us see that every single event in life can become an opportunity for a silent "Yes, thank you."

They will invite us to enter into the practice of extending sincere, benevolent blessings from the bottom of our hearts.  

They will remind us that the antidote to judgment is blessing; replacing every single thought of judgment with blessing fills the experience with love.  

David Spangler writes in his beautiful book Blessing: The Art and the Practice "Blessing is not a technique we perform but a presence we embody.  It is not an act we do to someone or something, but a relationship we form with them that enables us all to be embraced in the presence of an unobstructed world."

Please join us every week for an hour of inspiration, music, message and meditation.  This is a perfect time of the year to set an intention to enter into the holiday season in a spirit of thanksgiving, gratitude, peace and love.

Everyone is invited and included.  

Come as you are.  As you are is perfect.
 
In addition to Sundays at The Chapel there are many opportunities at Common Ground each week to grow in awareness.  Be sure to check out our busy calendar for the most up-to-date listing.
