Weekly Affirmation

Inner Peace

"I relax into stillness and peace."

Our Community, Coffee and Conversation group will begin a new book study on The Quest for Wholeness: Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World, by author Robert Brumet.  

He takes "the idea of wholeness beyond healing or personal fulfillment to the realization of our true spiritual Self. ...we are spiritual beings having a human experience and our suffering is the result of having identified exclusively with our humanity, ignoring our spiritual nature."  We will be discuss the introduction and chapter 1 this Tuesday, July 26 at 11 a.m. on Zoom.

Our July community outreach project is in support of our local Meals on Wheels program which provides home delivered meals to qualified seniors.  A hot meal is also served at the center Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m.

The A Course in Miracles study group will meet this Thursday via Zoom. (Link below.)

We know that there is good all-around and within us and we seek to enter that flow, nurture, and encourage it as we pray together and work together for the greater good of all in service to God.

The purpose of our Small Group Ministry is to join together in study, prayer, and meditation as we grow in greater spiritual understanding and serve our community.

We are grateful to be on this Journey with you! ❤

Please join us in conversation, fellowship, and meditation this Tuesday morning😊!  We will begin a new book study on Robert Brumet's "The Quest for Wholeness."  We will discuss the Introduction and Ch. 1.

WEEKLY 10 minute MEDITATION

"Feeding Your Soul"

WEEKLY  SONG

"Beautiful"

written and sung by Carole King

According to King, she did not consciously attempt to write "Beautiful" but it came to her spontaneously. It stemmed from her realization while riding the New York City Subway that the way she perceived others reflected how she herself felt.

Released: February 10, 1971

"Living a life of fulfillment that offers something of value to the world starts with radical self-knowledge, self-awareness and self-acceptance.  Our task is to be who we are at the deepest level of being."

~Oriah Mountain Dreamer, "The Dance"

"A major life transition is an opportunity for transformation - a transformation into an entirely new life.  A transition is an opportunity for spiritual rebirth if we see clearly and respond wisely."

~Robert Brumet, "Finding Yourself in Transition"

"Jesus said, “Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. . . . As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.” 

—John 15:4–5, 9 

Blessing The Boats

may the tide

that is entering even now

the lip of our understanding

carry you out

beyond the face of fear

may you kiss

the wind then turn from it

certain that it will

love your back

may you open your eyes to water

water waving forever

and may you in your innocence

sail through this to that

A special message from your newsletter writer...

As many of you know, my mom, Claudette, made her transition on July 14, 2022.  She and I spent the last 2 months together down at her home in FL. I am forever grateful for this time together. 

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support. 💜 ~Love, MaryAnn
