Greetings!     

 

Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes.  If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.                             ~ Rumi

Spirit United 2015 Theme:
Twelve Ways of Spirit  

 January: The Practice of Waking Up to Spirit

THIS SUNDAY 
SCHOOL SUNDAY
January 25, 2015 
10:30am-11:30am  
  
What Is Really Real?  Opening to the Presence of Spirit  
with Rev. Ron Moor

Why are more and more astute cultural observers agreeing that all the crises we are facing are spiritual in nature? That the prevailing "story" of our civilization is one of separation, from each other, from nature, from spirit?  And that this old story is in process of being re-written?  What this old story is and how we can participate in the creating of the new story is the theme of our first School Sunday of 2015. With luminous images, inspirational quotes and sacred chant.

....ultimately our salvation must come from recovering a direct relationship to what's alive in front of us.   Charles Eisenstein

2014-2015 Theme: The JOY Path. 
 
"When you do things from your soul,  
you feel a river moving in you, a joy."  
   ~ Rumi 
NEXT SUNDAY

10:30am-11:30am

"The Alchemy  
of Spiritual Practice"  
with  
guest speaker Anne Westfall 
and musician Yazmin Bowers 
 
Alchemy has been described as being about evolution and raising the vibratory rate. It has also been associated with the practice of transformation and transmutation of something of little worth into something of great value.

Are you a modern day Alchemist?   
LAST SUNDAY    
January 18, 2015 

Service of Healing and Meditation  
facilitated by  
Rev. Ron Moor  
with musicians Bruce Menier Bell
and Bettie Seitzer    

Eighteen healers offered their warm hearts and knowing hands for us to receive some hands-on healing. Tom Vetter's labyrinth creation provided a moving meditation. Beautiful  music soothed our soul.  Amazing healing energy moved through us all.  This service was not recorded.  No audio recording is available for listening.

Deepen your meditative practice or begin one by joining us.  We will gather weekly to read, meditate, and dialog on the profound wisdom found in the 2500 year old text of The Tao Te Ching.  These 81 short, poetic sayings have offered relief, gentle guidance, and a pathway to inner peace for countless millions.  Each week we will begin with a few minutes of breath work to deepen our focus, read one of the sayings, and then bring these ancient words into a 30 minute silent meditation.  Following the meditation we will join in an open discussion of the meaning as it relates to our lives today.

Community Corner


"If your mind carries a heavy burden of
past, you will experience more of the
same.  The past perpetuates itself
through lack of presence.  The quality
of your consciousness at this moment
is what shapes the future."  
        ~ Eckhart Tolle

"Let others see their own greatness
when looking in your eyes."   ~ Mollie Marti

"Surrender your own poverty and acknowledge your nothingness to the
Lord.  Whether you understand it or not, God loves you, is present in you, lives in you, dwells in you, calls you, saves you
and offers you an understanding and compassion which are like nothing you
have ever found in a book or heard in a sermon."                           ~ Thomas Marton
