September 2018 Theme – Interesting Conversations

Sitting around the living room engaged in deep conversation with friends and loved ones is always an enriching experience. We often walk away from those encounters feeling more connected, having learned something new and happy for the pleasant time we have shared. This month, we will gather each week not in our living rooms but in our Sanctuary to share in interesting and deep conversations.

September 2, 2018 – “Returning Home to Peace.”
This month we will begin with a look at Returning Home to Peace. With so much conflict, blaming and arguing going on in the world, it’s nearly impossible to set our sights on peace – even though that is what we all need more of. There are very simple ways for us to navigate through the swamp created by negative thinking and action. Today we will learn some of those ways and what we can do to help ourselves and the world.

September 9, 2018 – “Can We Talk?”
To begin our conversations this month, we want to hear from you. When you arrive in church this morning, you will be invited to write down a question, challenge or issue that you would like to have addressed. All of your submissions will be placed in a basket from which Rev. Terry will draw to craft today’s message on the spot around issues you want to talk about.

September 16, 2018 – “What Would Ernest Say?”
In 1935, the Institute of Religious Science published a little book entitled Questions and Answers on the Science of Mind, which is a compilation of questions asked of and answers from our founder Dr. Ernest Holmes. Today, we will look at some “difficult” questions, and see what Ernest had to say. Oh, and you can be sure Rev. Terry will add his two cents as well!

September 23, 2018 – “Pray Without Ceasing”
It has often been said that “prayer is talking to God; meditation is listening.” Today we will explore this idea of talking to God in prayer. But to whom are we REALLY talking? And do we need to do more than just talk? We’ll gather today to talk about that.

September 30, 2018 – “A Conversation with God”
Contrary to what the title might imply, we will not focus on Neal Donald Walsh’s book, Conversations with God this morning. Rather, we will gather to have a real conversation with God! Come be surprised and delighted at what you experience.
