"Meeting Our Fathers"
By Claudia Schmidt
                     
Claudia Schmidt

Many of us grow up with a father figure, but not necessarily a fleshed-out human being.  We need to make that deeper connection (and find our place in their lives) to complete ourselves.
  
Join us for this inspirational Father's Day Celebration through the music, poetry and message of Claudia Schmidt.

"School Sunday"
By
Rev. Ron Moor

Ron Speaking on Health

Opening to the presence of Soul, seeing the world through the eyes of Soul, creating our homes and our communities reflective of Soul, are crucial elements in the unleashing of imagination required in the birthing and the living of the new paradigm.  

 

Join us on June 23 as we continue our journey into the next paradigm that is emerging all around us and within us. With luminous images and sacred chant. Rev. Ron Moor

                       Living the New Paradigm 
               Where we Live: Home and Community.

"The Mystery of the Heart"

By: James Ulness
JamesUlness
We know very little about the true nature of the human heart.  Our knowledge arises only from materialistic science or an emotional standpoint.  However, the human heart, as Rudolf Steiner knew and taught, is both spiritual and physical, a place where body and soul come together.

Workshop: With Rev. Carolyn Cahill  
The Levels of Consciousness 
and the Wisdom of the Basic Self: 
An Introduction
Saturday, June 29, 2013, 10:00am-5:00pm
and
Sunday, June 30, 1:00pm-5:00pm

The World Soul, the Anima Mundi, has a new evolutionary call.  The very fabric of consciousness is changing.  There is great opportunity for rapid advancement, which also means that there is great opportunity for crisis.  We see it in the world around us, which means it is inevitable that it exists with us, to some degree or another.

We are both human and divine.  We are multi-dimensional beings.  Now is the time to understand more deeply our inner make-up so as to appropriately and responsibly utilize each level of consciousness.  Befriending and working effectively with the Basic Self (one's instinctual nature, and so much more) and understanding its relationship to our Conscious Self, Higher Self, and the Anima Mundi (World Soul) of which it is a part, is key to restoring harmony and balance, experiencing a renewed sense of well-being and authentic power, and the integration and synthesis of the Soul.  Carolyn's introduction to this work will include practices to release old memories and scars that block the full expression of the authentic inner self.

Investment: $75. Registration deadline: Sunday, June 23.

Bio: Carolyn Cahill was ordained through Sancta Sophia Seminary/Light of Christ Community Church, and served as Spirit United's Lead Minister from 2006-2009.  After spending 2 years as a Work/Scholar in Leadership Studies at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, Carolyn moved to Asheville, NC to serve as the Director of Outreach for the School for Esoteric Studies.  She is known as a dynamic and heartfelt leader and a thought-provoking communicator and teacher.
 
Guest Speaker:  Rev. Carolyn Cahill 
Sunday Service,  June 30      10:30-11:30am

"Everything's Calling Us Home" 

As pioneers of the emerging new paradigm, we claim responsibility for creating ever-more caring relationships with our selves, our communities and our earth.  Challenges are inevitable, and part of our service--and a source of strength and joy--can come through recognizing and remembering that such challenges are simply calling us deeper home...that is, calling us to remember that everything is a part of one Universal Consciousness.

As a former Lead Minister of Spirit United, Carolyn looks forward to being back and sharing some ideas for navigating our multi-dimensionality and the oft-chaotic path of paradigm-building, as well as sharing the joy of knowing we are all One.

How adventurous would life be, if you were "challenge free?"  If you had the perfect body, perfect self-esteem, everyone adored you, and you won the lottery every Sunday?

Not.

Now what if, painful as they may temporarily be, you could choose a life during which challenges might arise whenever your thinking needed expansion, on the sole condition that every one of them could be overcome no matter how daunting they may at first seem?

Everything makes you more,
   The Universe

Feed My Starving Children Update 

May 31, 2013, ended our year-long relationship with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) as our tithing partner. Each month we sent them a percentage of our monthly offerings. We donated $2,800 for the year which was enough to feed 35 children for an entire year!  

 

On Saturday, June 1st many Spirit United members and friends packaged meals at FMSC. We had fun and helped a most worthy organization fulfill their commitment to help those in need of a nutritious meal.
