Extreme Blessings to you!
Extreme is that which extends beyond the norm, and I am feeling stretched in joy and holy newness well beyond the norm this week. It
'
s fascinating to notice that the one constant in life is that it always brings fresh new beginnings.
"Everything You Want
" is the title of the Sunday message this week. Are you intrigued? I am personally looking forward to sharing some new ideas, perspective and possibility in this topic that invites a close look at what matters. Each individual should have a different response to such a question, and maybe the pondering is more important than the goal?
We
'll be talking it out in the west valley this week! And the extreme
Cerise Patron will be singing her heart out, so don
't miss a single moment!
My love to all,

Practitioner Services
Trained and licensed Practitioners are available for prayer support every Sunday after the service; and for private appointments.
To schedule a private appointment, click here for a list of licensed practitioners. You may also drop your confidential prayer request into the prayer box located in the Sanctuary or in the bookstore. If you would like prayers from the community, post your request on the magnetic wall in the sanctuary.
(Practitioners are bound by a strict Code of Ethics which requires them to serve you on a confidential basis. The Practitioner, who does not advise, will listen to your description of the conditions you are experiencing and through inquiry will determine first cause. This cause is the belief at work that is creating your current effects. The Practitioner will then assist you in reversing the limiting thought, and through Spiritual Mind Treatment will set the changes in motion.)
