September 11, 2013
Greetings!
Even through the darkest phase be it thick or thin,
Always someone marches brave here beneath my skin.
Constant craving has always been.
Maybe a great magnet pulls all souls toward the truth.
Or maybe it is life itself that feeds wisdom to its youth. ~ K.D. Lang and Ben Mink

This Sunday's Service
September 15, 2013
10:30am-11:30am
"Joy in the Morning"
with guest, Gloria Karpinski
Have you ever been through a dark time in your life when you felt relief was delayed? You may have feared relief was never to come, cried to the heavens, felt abandoned, forgetting this anguish is a passage not your identity or permanent. Then when things turn around, a breakthrough happens. Ah...relief. A Dawning of the Light happens once again and we remember it always comes.
Today, in the Dawning for our planet, we must remind ourselves (and each other) why we are here and focus on our purpose and intention. If we are not mindful, we can fall into the illusion chaos is permanent rather than a stage of transformation to tear down existing structures so in the rubble we can choose what to keep and what to discard. The Dawn is coming...and it will bring much joy.

This Sunday's
Kids With Spirit Program 
September 15, 2013
This week: The Real You
We will begin to explore "who I am". We will talk about spirit - the God within each of us and coming to Earth, choosing our parents and our circle of protection. We will be painting masks.
Theme: Living My Story
Mantra: If I want to know God, I must know myself; If I want to see God, I must see myself;
If I want to love God, I must love myself.
~ Nahko Bear, Medicine for the People

Next Sunday's Service
School Sunday
 September 22, 2013
"Materiality, Where Soul Comes
into Form"
with
Rev. Ron Moor
What is Soul? Does/can Soul take form? Try this definition: things are gathering places of Soul and have the purpose of creating a world in which life takes place. Some would say, the water bearer of Aquarius is pouring Soul substance into the world. They might also say, to perceive Soul in the world requires imagination, of the heart. Join us and we will seek to open into the imagination of our hearts that we might better see, and feel, the presence of Soul all around us. Luminous images and sacred chant will support the words and concepts this day.

 Last Sunday's Service
September 8, 2013
Growing Spirit Sunday
with Rev. Ron Moor
Don't pass up listening to this service. We began by blessing the new altar and the Kids With Spirit program. Then, reflections and information about growing and sustaining this community was shared. Ron asked the question: Is this a place where your soul wants to gather? Community member Carol McCormick shared a story. Ginny Cone, our Council of Stewards' Chairperson, shared an awareness regarding the shift of 2012 and a role Spirit United has in 2013 and beyond. Also, she shared her vision of you/we growing Spirit United with the 3 "T's" - time, talent and treasure. Rick Sholl, our treasurer, gave a financial report and explained the new option of direct deposit. And, Mary Louise Knutson and James Schattauer caressed our souls with beautiful music. Listen by clicking here. In community we transform personally and planetarily.

A Special Movie Night at Spirit United
"The Premise: It's Judgment Day
and the End Times"
A William Henry Film
Friday, September 13, 2013
7:00pm-8:30pm film
8:30pm-9:00pm discussion
Love donation suggested: $5
What most Christians, Jews and Muslims do not realize is that the popular conception of the Ark of the Covenant being a simple golden box is incomplete. Some speculate it was a weapon, a capacitor or power source, a container. They barely mention its complete parts, its secret history or its true capability.
As William Henry shows in his book, the Ark is actually one component of a larger, supernaturally powerful Judgment Day 'device'. Its content is a search for the Ark's missing pieces and its complete hidden function. The phenomena associated with this Device makes clear it is some form of otherworldly ascension tool. It has the capability of making a human holy on contact and transmuting flesh into light. With it, one can ascend and travel the stars. This is why it is the most coveted device of human history. This film is based on William Henry's book. Our community member, Anita Collodoro, is hosting this evening. Thank you.

"Doing Well While Doing Good"
with Gloria Karpinski 
Sunday, September 15, 2013
1:00pm to 5:00pm
Investment: $45
Register: Sign-up at church, print a registration form from the Spirit United website or call Joan Johnson at 612-378-3602.
The purpose for the workshop is to deepen understanding of time, money, energy and the resources in our work and in our lives. Even though we theorize about abundance, many of us need to reconcile deep ambivalence about desires for the good life with one's spiritual values. Sometimes making peace with teachings of renunciation as well as awareness of the needs on our planet seems hard to balance with the demands and choices of modern life. When is enough, enough? Many carry karmic memories of poverty; others equate godliness with lack; still others think wealth of all kinds indicates blessings from above. Part of the intention of this workshop is to face without blinking the hard questions that arise on this complex subject. The ultimate goal is for each of us to find our inner peace about all our resources and then consciously choose how we will use them.

The Matrix of Healing
Tuesdays, Oct. 1 - Dec. 11, 2013
(11 weeks)
$30 per week for total fee $330
or $300 if paid at first class
To be a healer, to be whole, we must first find our voice and be able to speak our truth compassionately. The 5th chakra, or throat center, opens us to the first "God Power" - sound silence and logos. As we develop this center, we learn to work within the "Matrix" of the physical and etheric bodies. We will learn to bring forth from within and from beyond, powerful sounds of healing. We will work with sounds we create using instruments like drums, rattles and bells. Then, we will combine these healing sounds with the "Matrix"hands-on energy technique as we grow our ability to be of service.

Jesus, the Three Marys and Sophia
with Ron Moor
 Thursdays, Oct. 3 - Dec. 19, 2013 (11 week Spiritual Foundations Course)
10:00am-noon
$30 per session - $330 total
or $300 if paid at first class
Register: Contact Ron by clicking here or calling 952-929-1559
Recently, popular books have eluded to Jesus working in partnership in his work bringing together the mystery of divine feminine and divine masculine. Rising up from more than 1700 years of suppression, the feminine trinity of the Three Marys is reappearing in this time of change and challenge. This knowledge or gnosis is desperately needed. In this course, we will walk a path of initiation through five
stages of spiritual unfoldment to achieve a new level of balance between Word and Wisdom. It will be experiential and include handouts and spiritual exercises.

Death, Dying and the Magic Beyond
with Sage Lewis and Glenda Houston
October 19, 2013
9:30am - 5:30pm
$125
In every moment we are dying small deaths - moving through fear and deeper into love. If we are able to fully embrace life, we can easily and gracefully embrace all of the small, medium and larger deaths that appear.
Sage and Glenda will facilitate safe and simple group and individual experiences that will give you a magical glimpse into the afterlife and allow you to connect more deeply with yourself, loved ones and Great Spirit.
