A Message from Rev. Jim

Dearest Friends…

As we move into the freedom of summer, we should also recognize our freedom of Spirit at the center of our very being.  As the great teacher of 2000 years ago said of Spirit, "...that whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere."  Then we are always walking in Spirit and everything we do is also the action and creation of Spirit.  We are always doing God's work.

I have observed individuals who believe they are doing God's work only on Sunday mornings when they are in church; they even call our sacred space "God's House" as if when they close the door behind them they go out into life and do other things.  But we are the ones who make this special place a sacred place, we are the ones who empower it with our time, talents, and treasures to create a space where all people may come and find the God within.  It is a place where we create our home, because all we give to support it comes from within us and we know this special creative place of peace is ours to give and share with others.  There is great freedom in knowing that we cannot walk away from it.  There is no place where we cannot experience it.  There is no time when we are not expressing it.

Like the freedom of summer, we are free to be in the presence of the divine, because we are centered in Divine Spirit as our very being wherever we go.

Blessings, in all ways!!!

Dear Ones...

July, of course, is the month to remember the freedom won for our country.  There is another kind of freedom to observe:  freedom of the mind.  The mind becomes free when it no longer reacts to what is.  I believe what is is supposed to be, no matter what it is.  At the deepest level, our higher self gives us the exact right experiences for our awakening to the truth of Being.  We are here to trust the perfection of how the Universe works. 

For me, the aches and pains of aging are like "a thumb in my back" pushing me on to a greater journey inward, including the silence and peace of meditation and contemplation of great writings.  Also, there are some fine teachers alive who can deepen this journey for us all.  This is an exciting time for awakening.  Here is the true freedom!

With love to you,
Rev. Barbara,

A Message from
Rev. Mary Jo 

Hello Everyone,

Happy July!!!  Warmth (maybe?) in this mid-summer month and time for outdoor anything—enjoying the park with friends, family or pets, late nights on the patio, early morning walks, wildflower hikes, vacation, afternoon naps, and plenty of ways to play.   As summer becomes us, we take a hint from nature and relax.  Summer is a beautiful time for moving a bit slower.  The earth has efforted during Spring to begin, to emerge, to birth, and now it’s time for “easy-does-it” growth.  Freedom is what we’re celebrating this month. 

My neighborhood pool just added a splash pool.  It’s for the toddler set, and the structure looks like a lively colored metal flower garden.  Water sprinkles from everywhere.  The splash pool speaks to me of freedom.  The water dances (within the Law of Gravity, of course) with lightness, ease, and grace.  It’s a delight to watch, perhaps because it reminds me to be carefree, not to take things too seriously, and smile. 

Where are you reminded of “being free?”  As you travel this journey called Life, how much freer do you feel today than five years ago?  Do you want to be free of something that weighs you down or stops you from following your heart?  Spirit supports our being free.  Take some time this month to set yourself free, whatever that means to you.  Take in an easy afternoon or evening and watch the flowers grow—or sprinkle.

Love,
Rev. Mary Jo
