In honor of all the Olympic coverage that we have been watching on TV, reading about in the papers, or seeing on the Internet. I decided to spend this Sunday exploring The Olympic Spirit. Some of the people we didn’t know a few weeks ago we all know now, such as Michael Phelps, Misty May-Treanor, Dara Torres or Shawn Johnson. But there are also others that we may not have heard of that have inspirational stories. What about the history of the Olympics and the symbolism? I invite you to come join me as we explore this inspirational topic. Bill.

This Sunday I will be exploring The Lost Parables. These three parables all surround the idea of what it is like to lose something, the search for what was lost and the joy in finding it once again. I think this is a universal story that shows up many times in our consciousness and in our life experience. When we feel the loss of something, we need to know that whatever was lost can be found again, as everything is available in consciousness.audio

We have all heard the saying “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.” And we understand that means we shouldn’t get rid of the greater in order to be rid of the lesser. Yet how many of us who may have felt hurt by a former religious teachings or teachers have tended to throw out the Truth teachings as a result of a poor teacher?
This week I will be taking a well known, classic psalm (the 23rd Psalm) and I will explain how it is that I use this Psalm as an affirmation of life in my daily prayer practice. I think you may be surprised at how this old standard can have so many life affirming messages.
What is a psalm? What’s the historical interpretation? Metaphysical interpretation? Come join me on Sunday as we explore this together!

This week we welcome a teacher of mine from Unity Village, Rev. Dr. Paul Hasselbeck. He is a teacher, preacher, author and Dean of Spiritual Education and Enrichment at Unity Institute. He has edited and amplified the textbooks for metaphysics and was also the co founder of the only English speaking Unity Church in Puerto Rico. He will be teaching classes this coming week in our SEE classes. He will also be delivering a workshop after the second service on Sunday. He is a wonderful teacher and I encourage you to come and see for yourself! In preparation for Sunday, Paul asks us to ponder these questions:
Are you a Who or a What?
Author: Rev. Dr. Paul Hasselbeck

This musical service was one to remember!
Joseph is one of the patriarchs form the Hebrew Bible. Today we told his story. There was a Broadway musical about this story called Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Today was our bit of Broadway! If you liked The Wizard of Oz production we have done the last two years, I think you will like this production as well. The Choir has been practicing for weeks and I look forward to it being a service we will long remember. audio
