March 8, 2020 - “Embracing Enchantment” - Celebration Leader - Leslie Deatrick
The word “enchantment” is defined as “the quality that attracts and holds our attention; a magic spell.” Today, we explore the “magic spell” that occurs when we let ourselves be enchanted by our own inspiration.

March 1, 2020 – “The Courage for Discovery” – Celebration Leader – Grae Taylor
“Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures hidden in you?” This question is posed early on in “Big Magic,” so we will pose the same question early on in our work together this month. What might your answer b

February 23, 2020 – “Dropping the Shield" – Celebration Leader ”– Rev. Celeste Anne Schroeder
The things we do to keep us shielded from feeling vulnerable are the exact things that keep us shielded from fully experiencing life and being who we came here to be. Today, we peel away the armor and dare greatly to be great!

February 9, 2020 - “Dare to Create Great Love” - Celebration Leader - Leslie Deatrick
Why is love sometimes so confusing? Maybe it's because there are different kinds of love and sometimes we get them mixed up. What type of love are you living? Are you completely satisfied with the love in your life, or does your heart and soul ache with longing for a more deeply-connected, intimate love? This morning the daring secret to creating great love is revealed.

February 2, 2020 – “Wholehearted Living” – Celebration Leader – Rev. Celeste Anne Schroeder
This morning, we dip our toes into the waters of vulnerability by exploring what it means to live wholeheartedly – not half heartedly. What does that look like? What does that take? And what does vulnerability have to do with it? Dare to be with us this morning as we ponder these and other questions!

January 19, 2020 – “Engaging the Process” – Celebration Leader – Grae Taylor
Dr. Ernest Holmes once wrote that “our faith does not burst forth fully orbed.” Well, neither does our enlightenment. In fact, it is a process. We engage the process when we accept it as such and open ourselves up to experience unobstructed awareness, which Cohen describes as “awareness that is free from the psychological self-protective habit of avoidance.”

January 5, 2020 – “The Evolutionary Impulse” – Celebration Leader – Rev. Celeste Schroeder
Cohen writes, “The very desire to embark on a path of enlightenment is already the beginning of enlightenment because the path and the goal are one.” As we begin this new year, we will shed light on the profound meaning of those words and then, with them as our basic premise, we will lay the groundwork for our evolution through clarity of intention.

December 15, 2019 - “The Inside Light of Christmas” -- Celebration Leader - Leslie Deatrick
We are all familiar with the elements of the Christmas story - Jesus was born in a stable because there was no room in the inn surrounded by shepherd and wise men who had followed a star to be with him. As colorful as this story may be, this is the outside story of Christmas. Today, we will look at the INSIDE story of Christmas and how it can lead to our living in the light.

December 8, 2019 – “Sharing Our Light” -- Celebration Leader – Grae Taylor
As expressions of God, the Great Giver of Life, we each express our Highest Truth and shine our lights most brilliantly when we choose to be givers of life -- not in obligatory ways, but because it is our Divine Nature to give. Today we look at gifts we can share that don't cost a cent and what it is like to adopt the Buddhist attitude of being a "kingly" giver.

December 1, 2019 – “The Christ Light” – Spiritual Director – Rev. Celeste Anne Schroeder
In the Science of Mind Textbook, Ernest Holmes wrote, In studying the life and teaching of Jesus, the most unique character of history, we discover a few simple ideas underlying his philosophy, the embodiment of which enabled him to become the Christ." Today, we will look at two of those simple yet transforming ideas, the embodiment of which will illuminate our Christ Light.

November 24, 2019 – “The Blessing of Community” – Rev. Celeste Anne Schroeder
Everywhere we go, we are in community. Family is community. Work is community. Church is a community. Today, we count the many blessings of being in community while supporting ways we can call forth the best from every community in which we are involved. *** Join us for our Thanksgiving Potluck after the service.

November 10, 2019 – “The Blessing of Health” -- Celebration Leader – Leslie Deatrick
A vibrant, radiant, healthy body is our Divine Right. Today we acknowledge the miracle that is our human bodies, and we bless into being any aspects that may appear to be functioning less than perfectly. This will be an especially powerful service for anyone experiencing physical challenges.

October 27, 2019 – ”There Really Is No Place Like Home” – Celebration Leader – Celeste Schroeder
T.S. Eliot once wrote: “We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and to know the place for the first time.” Dorothy learned this profound spiritual Truth. As we conclude The Spirit of Oz, so will we.

October 20, 2019 – “Hold Tight to Those Ruby Slippers” – Celebration Leader – Leslie Deatrick
We are born with a Divine Spark, which no one can take away. Dorothy’s ruby slippers are a radiant symbol of the inner spark of infinite potential for goodness and greatness that is within us all.

October 13, 2019 – “If I Only Had a Brain” – Celebration Leader – Grae Taylor
The Scarecrow sought a brain; the Tin Man a heart. Yet despite their perceived lack, the Scarecrow had all the great ideas, and the Tin Man loved unconditionally. Could it be that we are all spiritually supplied with everything we need from the beginning whether we know it or not?

October, 6, 2019 – “Over the Rainbow!” – Celebration Leader – Leslie Deatrick
The greatest gift with which we are endowed (after Life itself) is the gift of choice. And with our choices come natural results or consequences. We’ll begin our journey with Dorothy as we explore the consequences of her -- and our -- choices.

September 22nd – “The Three Tiers of Forgiveness Plus”
We have all been taught that forgiveness is an imperative spiritual practice. And, it is. This morning, however, we are called to take a higher look at the idea of forgiveness as we choose to live AS God.

April 7, 2019 – “The Power of Perception” -- Whenever we face a challenge in our lives, what seems to matter most really is not what matters most. It is not the obstacle that matters, but rather our perception of it that makes all the difference.

Feb. 3, 2019 – “Let Love Point the Way” - Pierre Reinhardt de Chardin wrote: “The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God, the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire!” Discover fire as we embark on our mission to love our lives by letting love point our way.
