February's Divine Faculty is Strength

Strength is the ability to endure, stay the course, persevere.
I have the strength to accomplish all that is mine to do!

Sunday, February 2

At 9 am Lessons In Truth book study

Sacred Grounds & Books

Lessons In Truth
This month our focus is Lesson 2 Statement of Being (a super short read and powerful lesson), which explores: "Who and What God Is.....Who and What Man Is."  As we examine this fundamental Truth, let's also reflect on our experience of Lesson 1 - Bondage or Liberty, Which? Remembering our divine inheritance - all good, wisdom, love, life and power; strengthening our practice of meditation as a way to grow our spiritual understanding, and allowing forgiveness to turn heartbreak to joy as we see God in all.

We begin promptly at 9 and end by 9:45. If you arrive after 9 am, join the group quietly. We're glad you can make it!
 
All are welcome!
Copies of the book are available in Sacred Grounds & Books.

At 10 am Rev. Debra Carter Williams

Lesson series begins:

True Love - A Practice for the Awakening Heart
Week 1:  "Loving Kindness"

Rev Debra Carter Williams
While loving-kindness expresses as selflessness, watchful care, thoughtfulness, and gentleness, it is rooted in our intention to love and our ability to deeply understand and recognize another’s joys and struggles.
 
Using the book by Thich Nhat Hanh as the basis of the series, as well as the teachings of Jesus and our foundational Unity principles, Rev. Debra Carter Williams will explore four important elements of loving relationships that are integral to compassionate engagement with the world.
