This week we have the final message in the series on Eric Butterworth's book,
IN THE FLOW OF LIFE. We'll take a look at "The Wellspring of Giving," and his insights on aging, plus "Life, Death, and Rebirth." Butterworth's emphasis on "life is lived from within-out," can give us valuable techniques about centering, receptivity, conscious
awareness of The Flow (and being in it) and taking control of our thinking and
be-ing to create lives that are truly magnificent. We hope you'll join us this week!
Singer-Songwriter Sean Arington will delight us this Sunday with his unique blend of lyrical, uplifting music.
Ongoing...
9:40 to 10:20 am, every Sunday in the Meditation Room: Morning Quietude. G
ently guided meditation, often graced 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!
"It is true for each of us life is consciousness, and we are as old or as young as we think we are. This means that age is basically psychological rather than physiological. Life is a flowing process and every person is a specialized channel for that flow. The purpose of life is to live, not to die." ~ Eric Butterworth
"If you would feel that you could fling your consciousness out into an
infinite expansion and draw back to you everything that you want,
things would circulate around more and more." ~ Ernest Holmes
"According to your faith let it be done to you.
" Matthew 9:29
