December 2023 Theme: Living as Wholeness
In person Meditation at 10:00am, in person and Facebook Live Services begin at 10:30.
Ernest Holmes said, “The spark which burns at the center of our own soul is caught from the living and eternal flame of Spirit.” (SOM 414.3) Our charge, then, is to recognize, nurture, and express this Divine spark of wholeness. We kindle this flame by living from our own Divine Center, recognizing it in others, working for it in our community and in the world, and looking to great way-showers to inspire and guide us. In this, the Universe knows us as whole.
December 2023 Weekly Themes
December 3rd • Embracing Wholeness
There is a spark of pure Life – wholeness – within us all. Within you. We’re going to touch it this week and learn how to let it be the reference point for what we do in the world, for how we live our lives. Speaker: Rev. Dr. Kathleen Johnson. Music: Deb Chamberlin
December 10th • Recognizing Wholeness; Seeing the Good in All
In her book, Grounded: Finding God in the World, Diana Butler Bass wrote, “When we recognize our common humanity – when we recognize our own humanity in the face of the other – we also recognize the face of God.” There is a vision of love and wholeness deep within us all, an intuitive sense of our Oneness with God and with each other.
December 17th • In the Name of Wholeness; Enriching the World
The American writer Henry Miller said, “The moment one gives close attention to anything – even a blade of grass – it becomes mysterious, awesome, and indescribably magnificent.” By virtue of our holy place in the Universe, we are charged with the world’s enrichment.
December 24th • Embodying Christ Consciousness; a Wholeness Prototype
The birth and life of Jesus are metaphors for our own celebrations and disappointments. But in our most tender moments, we know that we are even more than that. Christ consciousness is the feeling of wholeness, allowing our natural compassion and our love for one another to reign.
