LESSONS ALONG THE WAY

March 10.2013

By: Karen Greer

 

Karen will be sharing parts of her life's journey - events that challenged her, inspired her and shook her to the core...events that assisted her in learning trust and being more hopeful and purposeful.

 

She shares her story not because she has "arrived" in her spiritual journey, but because she hopes it may be of benefit or reassurance or inspiration in some way to those in the community who are also seekers and perhaps have had similar experiences.  Join her as she shares her story.

 

Musical support provided by James Schattauer. 

 

The service will be followed by our Second Sunday Pot Luck.  Bring a dish to share and stay for community.

Last Sunday: (Second Service)
Gratitude and New Growth
ShannaMcCannSpeaking   By: Shanna McCann
 
Shanna told the story of the loss of her hair due to alopecia, and her healing journey into greater spiritual awareness and wholeness.    She spoke of developing her connection to source through a daily practice of gratitude and how grateful she is to Spirit United for the people who served to help her along the way.   Very happily, Shanna's spiritual growth has been accompanied by new hair growth as well, which is a testament to growth of all kinds possible through gratitude.      
 
Shanna is an inspiration. To hear the full service, click here

Last Sunday:  (Early Service)  
WAGS AND WORSHIP
By: Sage Lewis and James Schattauer
 
       Wagsand Worship  
Java, Sage's four-legged companion for twelve years,  transitioned on Saturday,  bringing to Sage a bitterwseet freedom from worry and also the realization of a deep and continued "connection" to her beloved friend.  The message on Sunday was about connection and how our animals teach us, if we listen, by requiring us to slow down and be present.  
  
This was a wonderful and moving "first service" for Spirit United.   If you missed it you can Click Here to listen
