This Sunday's Late Service
October 6, 2013
10:30am-11:30am 
"The Spiritual Call"
with guest, William Meader
People who are guided by their souls are destined to bring spiritual light to humanity. Around the world, spiritually minded people are responding to The Call to transform the human condition. Such people are change agents in support of the Soul of Humanity and its evolution. Yet, at times, various internal obstacles hinder them from truly rising to their soul's calling. In this talk, William Meader will examine the nature of The Call as it manifests within human consciousness. In addition, he will discuss how the personality (lower-self) tends to block the soul's intention, and what can be done to overcome this tendency. |
This Sunday's
Kids With Spirit Program 
October 6, 2013
This week: The Circle of
Protection
We will expand our understanding of the circle of protection by explore our energy bodies. ~~~
NEXT WEEK (Oct. 13): The children will be in the service to participate with the blessing of the animals. Bring your pet, if your pet would enjoy coming, or bring a photo to have blessed. ~~~
Last week we talked about the circle of protection surrounding the physical body and how it can help in our daily lives. Then, in groups of 3 or 4, one lay on the floor while others placed stones (from direction of the one laying down) at the edge of the energy body. A moment of pause was done to feel what it is like to be in this circle of protection.
2013-2014 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

Blessing of the Animals
"Finding Peace"
with
Sage Lewis
In every moment, we have choices--choices that will bring us closer to peace or closer to suffering. Sage will explore how the animals are such wonderful teachers of finding peace, and how they can teach us to move through suffering with grace and ease. A Blessing of the Animals will take place at the end of this service. All pets are welcome if you think they would enjoy the experience.
Photos are welcome for living and deceased pets

Last Sunday's Service
September 29, 2013
"The Christ Mystery and
the Human Ego"
with
James Ulness
Due to technological issues, the recording for this service did not capture enough of the service to warrant putting it in the newsletter. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
James Ulness spoke about these urgent times filled with conflict throughout the world, noting religion contributes more than its share to the rising tension. Many people within the different religions are playing out a variation of school-yard taunting behavior. "My dad is stronger than your dad" is substituted with "My Lord is better or truer than your Lord." James asks would a deeper understanding of the Christ Mystery and the human ego lead to greater peace and harmony? He helped us take the time to reflect. I ask, "what is mine to do?" and "from what and where is my intention coming forth?" "Is it about me or is it for 'Higher Good'?"

"The Path of Souls:
Journey to Ascension"
Fri. Oct. 11 7pm-10pm $30
Sat. Oct. 12 10am-6pm $175
for both Fri. & Sat. $225
Early bird for both $195
To register or for questions: Call community member Anita Collodoro 952-221-6372 or click here to email. This is a soul empowerment workshop. "New Age" ascension material tends to "candy coat" what ascension is really. This will bring out the core issues and help the participant to really understand the importance of focusing on developing our light body or "future self". This workshop will help you see the light body with clarity so that you can connect with its energy.
William Henry is an expert in symbolism like Robert Langdon in the Divinci Code. To learn more, link up with an article The Edge magazine published in their Sept. 2013 edition click here.

Kevin's Crusade
Kevin Pollari has been living with the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) for 38 months after being diagnosed with only 18-30 months to live. He currently has a lung capacity of 35% and lives with the slow progression of the disease. While he has slowed its progress, unfortunately, his positive attitude alone does not seem enough to conquer this whole body disease.
Kevin and his family and friends are working together to save Kevin's life and to make a difference in the lives of others who have ALS by helping Kevin utilize a new stem cell and gene therapy to stop the progression of the ALS and increase his vit ality and quality of life. (Click here to link with information about the therapy.)
Kevin wants to make a difference. You can make a difference, but time is of the essence.
Act now. Click here. Learn more about Kevin's crusade and donate today. They are about half-way to their goal.
