Greetings!
I want to challenge you today to get out
of your comfort zone. You have so much
incredible potential on the inside. God

probably don't know anything about.

August's archetype: Visionary
"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."

EARLY SERVICE
Wags and Worship: A Celebration of All Beings  with Laura D'Ambrosio We celebrated together honoring all life with our friends-old and new, along with our pets-present and away. What a fun way to be in community and connect with all life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LATE SERVICE
"From Shattered Dreams to Reasonable Hope: The Intersection of Losses and the Future Story"
with guest speaker Ted Bowman
Ted proposed for us to look at grief from a different perspective. Look beyond the big event into what lies underneath, the reality of shattered dreams. What does this mean for the person grieving? How can one best support? Are you able to sit on the grief bench along side rather than stand "over there"? Listen to this message to better understand the grief in your life and to gain perspective how to support the grief of another. Click here.

Thank you for your patience.
July 27, 2014, School Sunday is now posted!
"Love That Moves the Stars" with Rev. Ron Moor Click here to listen.
The message Ron shared: When I open to love and "marry" myself, I accept my opposites and bring them to compliment. As I engage this union with myself in my daily interactions with others and this materialistic world, my love becomes most potent. Believing and acting in the knowing I am to be honored and I am sacred, my love can best change the world. Being aware that my words to others and myself are food. What am I feeding myself and those around me? I am reminded that using intentional language/communication is vital.
Thank you for your understanding. I appreciate your waiting. Sincerely, Shannon
