September 22 – September 22 – Who Have You Come Here to Be? Rev Libby O'Day

September 15 – Arrival, Coming Home to Ourselves - Rev Libby O'Day
Retreats at Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh’s Buddhist Center, would begin with his beautiful poem” I Have Arrived.” This poem orients us in the now moment, instead of always rushing to get somewhere else. We take time this week to arrive, to acknowledge that we are already home, already endowed with wholeness and perfection. We have everything we need, and all is well.
September 8 – the Luxurious Presence of Pause - Rev Libby O'Day
Every inhale requires an exhale, and every harvest heralds a time of rest. In olden times they discovered that after a harvest the field needs to lie fallow, allowing the soil to replenish and produce again. In our frenetic busy world adequate sleep has become a much sought after goal. Finding rest, allowing rejuvenation in pausing is a secret to greater growth and creation. This week we encourage the luxurious presence of finding
September 1 – Lighten Our Load, Deepen Our Gaze with Rev Dr Nadene Rogers
In these times humanity is ever more aware of the need to decipher the true from the false. It almost seems a fevered pitch has been reached, a tipping point, where each knows that this quandary must be addressed and progress for peace, must be made first, within. The more we trust divine right timing and lighten the burden of judgement on our own humanity, we can trust however we show up, and gaze evermore deeply at God e
August 18th - The Heart Knows No Boundary
Timeless, beyond space or distance, love knows no obstacle, division or boundary. The ordinary boundaries of time, space and causation are upended when we open our hearts to love.

July 28: Rev Libby O'Day - Be Like Water
Water takes the shape of whatever vessel it is in, a bowl, a tub, a carafe. Yet as it surrenders to form, it is still a powerful force like the ocean. As we partner with Life, letting it fill us with presence, we become part of something greater than ourselves. We become able to move mountains, flow around obstacles and bring life back to the parched and weary.
July 14 Rev Libby O'Day - Commitment to Truth
Leaning into our own inner Truth and seeing situations as they are without either our disappointment or hope coloring them takes courage and surrender. Learning to trust what our heart tells us, and take appropriate action when called, is a primary step in thriving despite circumstances. An embodiment exercise follows the talk which will allow each of us to listen to our inner Truth.
JULY 7 2024 - GETTING OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY - Arliss Dudley-Cash, RScP
June 30th Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers” Addictive Desire and the Arms of Grace”
” Silence is golden - yes, this it can be, when we touch the Void and allow Grace to enter us. At this point when we become as Nothing and the “I” falls away, desire appears as our Soul’s longing to become Something rather than Nothing. Fear not, as Spirit must create structures within Itself to become aware. To allow the fullness of this process to be, is becoming Grace itself.
June 23rd Rev. Libby O’Day “The Truth of Openness”

June 16th Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers
“Ready, Willing and Accountable!” There is unprecedented exposure to what is possible to create in life by being readily prepared through our spiritual practice and our willingness to be open and receptive. But it is not until we are able to be fully accountable regarding our thoughts, words, and actions as co-creators of our experience that we’ll feast at the banquet of Life.
June 9th Rev. Libby O’Day: Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind The Dalai Lama has called Buddhism the science of mind, and Buddha is credited as the first to proclaim, “change your thinking, change your life.” With many great parallels in our philosophy, let’s examine the brilliance of beginner’s mind through our Science of Mind lens, and develop our capacity for genius.
June 2nd - Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers “Here Come Your Judge, Wait…What??” Dr. Ernest Holmes uses the phrase: Open at the Top. Can we say we are open at the top in the way we perceive ourselves, others and life? Our judgments can surface at the most unpredictable times, and cause us to be more closed to growth, joy, prosperity and peace than we believed was true of us. Judgement is one of 3 deterrents to being open at the top and loving in the face of life’s mysteries.

May 19th Live Music Sunday Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers/Felicia Taylor “ Get Your Bucks in Order! ”

Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers “The Importance of Receiving”
Our work is in the realm of spiritual truth as it relates to our beingness. We have inherently received the spiritual DNA of the infinite creative intelligence that is expressed as all creation. The question is, are we going to receive it by both believing it and living as this truth in our relationship with money and the body of our affairs in the material world?
Rev. Libby O'Day - Tenderness Towards All Existence
Practicing Radical Acceptance allows us to deepen our awareness of connection and oneness. As Ernest Holmes stated it: “There is no otherness.” The whole world is our own family, our own beloved; each longing for connection, safety and meaning. As our circle of Radical Acceptance expands, we become the loving friend of All.
Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers
“ Facing the Moments with Faith”
Today we explore the idea of Radical acceptance in our lives, from its spirit through to the ground or foundation it expresses through. Looking closer at how we stay in or bail from the conscious holy presence, dependent upon the circumstances at the time. The cost of staying in the presence of the holy/our personal passionate conviction, living from our hearts, being freely expressed… is sometimes death; the cost of bai
