September 24th ~ "Abundant YOU: Above & Beyond"
 Message by Rev. Bronte; Music, Cynthia Hart
   Would you like to see increased abundance in any area of your life? From finances to health to relationships, prosperity teachings can help us achieve higher vibrations of receiving, thereby allowing all that we desire to manifest in our lives. Part two in this prosperity series helps us move above and beyond our current thinking about receiving "our good" and gives examples and techniques on how to create and receive more of what we are desiring. 
  We hope you will join us in body or in spirit as we celebrate another beautiful Sunday together!

About musician Cynthia Hart:
Cynthia was lead singer and founding member of Dreamer, one of the top acts from the Atlanta area in the 1980s and early '90s. After over a decade of being completely immersed in the music business, she ended her career and began soul searching, shifting her energy towards a profound exploration into spiritual and personal growth. Cynthia's life experience is beautifully woven into her music, creating blissful musical textures and enlightening messages to dance within our awareness. Her album, "I Remember," lends a divine invitation into the magic of remembering through a melodic journey into past lives, dreams of ancient civilizations and the power of wakening to our soul's purpose. Come on out this Sunday to meet her!  Check out her website.
