11:00 Message: New Series by Rev. Bronte based on Eric Butterworth's In The Flow of Life
"
"According to Butterworth, being in the flow requires that we acknowledge the ever-present divine current that flows within us and within everything. Living from within-out invites us to remove any boulders or debris that block the flow and allow the divine current to simply flow freely through us as love, creativity, abundance, health, and any other force we can imagine." (Lynyetta Wills, from Unity Athens' on-line IN THE FLOW OF LIFE book study group.) So, rather than ask if you are feeling like you are "in the flow," we'd ask, "Are you acknowledging the flow that is always within you?" Join us as we think about new ways of Be-ing from and with that flow.
Music this Sunday will be flowing through the Bright Musical Light that is Jennifer Ferren.
We'd love to see you!
Ongoing...
9:40 to 10:20 am, every Sunday in the Meditation Room: Morning Quietude. G
ently guided meditation graced often with the presence of Reiki healers in a calm setting of soft music or profound silence. Love offering basis.

"Prayer for Protection"
by James Dillet Freeman
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us; T
he presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, God is!
"Prayer is a kind of lifting the eyes above the limitations that result from the frustrations of the flow to an awareness of the ever-presence of the transcendent flow." ~ Eric Butterworth
"You can be more, you can do more, and you can have more in life because you are inexorably linked to the transcendent flow of life." ~ Eric Butterworth
"I remind you to rekindle
the gift of God that is within you." 2 Timothy 1:6
