The time has come for drastic transformation – in the world and our lives – do you WANT to be transformed?  Are you willing to pay the price?

Did you ever notice where grocery stores place sugary children’s cereals - the ones with practically no nutritional value? If you are an adult, you might not, but a child certainly would, because they are most often placed right at their eye level or below. With their brightly colored boxes, decorated to suit a child’s fancy, they practically beg to be taken home and devoured. Come and join us as we explore what it means not to buy into any message of incompleteness, which have no nutritional value for us whatsoever.  Isn’t it time we walked down a different kind of aisle?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." – John 4:15

What do Ancient Vedic scriptures and modern-day mathematicians and physicists have in common? They all describe the Universe as being like an egg: its surface is continuous, and yet it has an edge. What’s beyond the edge? It’s a Divine question! Come and join us as we take a bold leap into a Universe that we ourselves created from a Divine Idea of each part containing the Whole. Don’t be afraid - all you have to lose is your lack of faith in your Glorious, Creative Self. You created this Universe. What will you do next?
 
God created the heavens and the earth in the very beginning.- Genesis 1:1

 Scientists are saying that human beings can recognize up to five thousand faces and that the human brain is capable of storing the memory of up to ten thousand faces . This remarkable fact has enormous spiritual implications. For while it may appear that the earth plane is a divided place where we cannot meet each other face to face , in fact, we probably have already met each other – face to face- at least five thousand times. Come and join us as we explore what it means to meet each other face to face , whether we are wearing a mask or not. 

For now, we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. – 1 Corinthians 14: 12

Fear of failure tends to hold us back. Yet the fear of success is often more debilitating and stops us in our tracks just as quickly. Whether it be old family patterns, the fear of being seen or the comfort of playing it small - all these and other deep seeded beliefs can hinder our ability to claim our Divine Inheritance. We often hear that failure is not an option, but are you leaving the option of success open? Are you able to receive, to claim all that is yours to have, to be and to do?

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

The old cliché of “one bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch girl” may awaken the need to belt out the 70’s hit by The Osmonds. As they ask for one more chance to prove that one failed relationship doesn’t mean that all relationships are bad. Think back a moment. What mistakes have you made; what ventures failed in your life when you may have wanted to throw in the towel? Imagine if our Wayshower, Jesus the Christ, threw away everything after one bad choice, after one uncomfortable encounter. Or if Abraham didn’t follow through with Sarai’s request to father a child with another woman, what would of happened? One bad apple, one bad decision doesn’t define who or what you are. Bad apple or apple pie? You decide.
 
Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.  - Proverbs 23:18 ESV
 

The medieval visionary nun Hildegard of Bingen received powerful messages from Spirit and was commanded by a Divine Voice to speak and write what she had heard. However, a sense of false modesty prevented her from doing so, and the more she held back from sharing what she had heard, the more ill she became. Finally, she wrote down what she had received, and her strength returned. Come and join us as we explore what it means to heal deeply by sharing the Great Voice that Spirit has given us.

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” -Mark 7:37

When Mary met her beloved Jesus in the garden after his resurrection, he counseled her to refrain from clinging to him, as he had “not yet ascended” to his Father. One can only imagine how hard this must have been for Mary. Yet because she followed Love’s High Command, she became the first apostle and spread the good news that we are Unlimited Beings. Come and join us as we explore how it is that we evolve when we love with an open hand.

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father…” – John 20:17

Presented by Rev. Carolyn Swift Jones.  Sometimes, the best way to be the expression of Love is to leave the room of conflict. And sometimes, Love asks us to stay right where we are. Come and join us as we work with the teachings of our Wayshower, who sometimes counseled shaking the dust from our sandals and dreaming forward, and other times, pleaded with us to stay awake with him as he faced his worst nightmare. The promise of resurrection is the same, whether we stay or go. What matters is that we are willing to join the journey with all the Love we are.

Then he came to his disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, So, you were not able to watch with me even for one hour? - Matthew 26: 40 

Scripture from the Book of Ezekiel Chapter 33 1:7 and 30:33 read by Lisa Sheehan. 

Message and Meditation presented by Deacon Weechie Baker.  As beautiful divine, yet earthly beings, we all have a purpose to fulfill in this lifetime. Even in the most seemingly difficult of times, we must answer to the internal and eternal yearning of our souls. In the Old Testament, Ezekiel reminds us of the importance of committing to, “here am I Lord” and heeding to the sound of the trumpet (the Holy call from within). Our divine right comes with responsibility. I invite you on a short journey with me, into the realm of spiritual responsibility in our earthly experience.

“Every single thing that touches your life, religious, socially, and politically, must be an instrument of your liberation or you must throw it into the ashcan of history.”  - Dr. John Henrik Clarke
