|
THIS SUNDAY  November 9, 2014
10:30am-11:30am "Homecoming"
with Rev. Ron Moor
The mystical journey of our living is first an expansion outward from wholeness into individuality. Then a conscious return as we respond to The Call. We learn to look beneath the surface of our experience to find energies of transmutation at work. We come "home" with an expanded awareness, and greater appreciation for the journey. On this Sunday before Veterans Day, we will honor the veteran in each of us that longs for home.

An Appointment Is Available.
SOUL PORTRAIT DRAWING
& READING
with Susan Van Sant
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Donation to SU $75 The reading takes approximately 45 minutes. One spot is now available for a reading. Act quickly. The spot will be filled on a first come first served basis. Contact Joan Johnson to state your intention and get specific details. Click here for Joan or call 612-378-3602.
The spot will be reserved with pre-payment.
 Susan uses the vibrational energies of a person's voice to trigger images which she then sketches on charcoal paper with artist pencils. Alternating between drawing and describing what she sees, she gathers additional information as the drawing progresses. The finished image captures information about one's Soul, the present path, occasionally past life information  which may be pertinent to challenges in this lifetime, and where one's journey is leading. People have reported they are able to unfold more information through meditation as they contemplate the images within their portrait.

The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Spirit United Is Creating a Community Directory
We are building a Community Directory with personal photos, so we can more easily get to know each other, organize activities together, and provide mutual support to one another.  Before and After Sunday Services in November photographers will be available to take pictures.
You can provide your own photo via email to Jerry Buchmeier. ( Click here.) There will be a section for couples and family photos.
We will not publish any information without your permission, and we won't make this info available for commercial use.
The project will be low cost, and we will provide these directories to members and friends at minimal or no charge.
For questions about the process and what information to submit with your photo, contact Jerry by clicking here.

ATTENTION: SAVE THE DATE
Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara is coming!!
Sunday, November 30, 2014
"The Call to the Mystic"
As we begin, we are dedicated; we study and be the best person we can. With love and caring we open our hearts, live a life of hope and invoke right action as we do our best. Service is our outlet as we go deeper into privacy. In time as a true student of Life, we discover that while we did not seek to be a mystic, the path sought us.
MORE DETAILS TO COME!
