The key to immortality is first living a life  

worth remembering!

Bruce Lee

 

Happy Holidays! I love this season when the generosity of spirit seems to be more fully expressed. We invite you to join us this Sunday, December 2, for our Holiday Potluck Party, which will happen right after service in the sanctuary! The turkey is provided; just bring your favorite side dish or dessert to share. There is nothing quite as wonderful and connecting as breaking bread together. Last Sunday we expressed our gratitude and appreciation for all the wonderful things in our lives. We are encouraged to daily continue in the simple practice of counting our blessings.

 

As we enter the year 2013, we can make a decision to step out of the small life we've been living into the freshness of a whole new way of being. We can rise in consciousness and declare ourselves set free from all fear, doubt and confusion! We can declare ourselves whole, perfect and complete in every way, missing nothing. Everything is changing around us, and we embrace it, knowing that it is taking us to greater understanding, true compassion and deep forgiveness. We are blessed to be on the planet at this time!    

 

Our affirmation for the day: I go forward fearlessly! I'm living a life worth remembering!  


In love and peace,

Rev. Karen Wylie

The Symphony of Life Annual Meeting

The Symphony of Life Annual Meeting will be held this Sunday, December 2, right after service in the sanctuary. During our Holiday Potluck Party, we will give you a rundown on where we stand financially as a growing community, present the budget for 2013 and approve Board members for the upcoming year. We are looking forward to the coming year of 2013 as the year where we'll experience exponential growth in prosperity, passion and purpose!  We need your financial support to continue our vision, care for our home, and expand the programs and services we desire to provide locally and globally. This will be the last day of our formal pledge drive though we will continue to take your pledges throughout the year.

 

Gratitude and Appreciation 
Our heart-felt thanks to Miyuki Harley and Scotty who filled in this Sunday in the absence of Patricia Cardinali.  Their beautiful music added to the blessing of our gratitude service.

Symphony of Life Free Spiritual Cinema

Our November Spiritual Cinema Night will feature Healing: Miracles, Mysteries, and John of God, a documentary on the profound spiritual healing work that takes place at "the Casa," the sanctuary where Joao de Deus, or "John of God," has been the channel for healing hundreds of thousands of people.

  

The screening will take place on Friday, November 30, at Casa de La Luna, 710 S. La Luna Ave. in Ojai. Doors open at 6:30 and the movie begins at 7:00 p.m. Although the event is free, donations are gratefully accepted and go to Casa de La Luna Retreat for their gracious hosting of the event. There is parking on the property.

 

Rev. Karen Wylie, who has been to John of God, will lead the discussion that follows the screening. All who have visited the Casa are invited to attend and share their experiences.

LIVE CHANNELING WITH DAVID HAMILTON NICHOLS, Thursday, December 6, 2012, 7:00 p.m., Healing in America Holistic Center, 107 West Aliso Street, Ojai, California 93023, $15 per individual. Call (805) 701-4744 for further details (if needed). You may preregister at www.healinginamerica.com.

 

THE SURPRISE HOLIDAY BASKET BRIGADE will be held one evening in mid-December around 7-7:30 p.m. at Ojai's homeless shelter. Since there are only 40 residents maximum and it's a small space, the participants for event this year will be limited. The plan is for Ojai children to deliver the gifts personally (accompanied by their parent or parents). The hope is to have our local children feel the joy of giving.   If you are interested in having your children participate, contact Justine Wynn at Justine@justinewynn.com.

 

The organizers are already planning to deliver four items to each resident (a drawstring backpack, small tin of butter cookies, gloves, and a holiday character). They welcome any individual or family who wishes to make an additional donation toward an item on the wish list (socks, warm hats, toiletries, etc.). You can contact Justine Wynn regarding other suggestions.
