“Up, Up, and Away!” Today, Rev. Mike and I are flying to San Diego, California, to visit with friends and grandchildren. This wonderful idea of “flying” above challenges and learning to see from a higher perspective can be a wonderful lesson. As we deepen our meditation, open our hearts to God’s Presence, and look up and away from the external appearances, we make room for a new vision and a more peaceful experience.

Often, just a brief “time out” (or, more appropriately, “time IN”) can shift our perspective and allow us to become more effective in the everyday world. In fact, each time we raise our sights to Divine Possibilities, we strengthen our High Resolve and live more serenely and successfully.

We’ll be back Saturday and ready to greet you all on Sunday at 1:00 P.M.E.T. at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, as we complete the monthly theme, “Divine Discipline and Delight.” We’ll be focusing on “A Perfect Payoff,” celebrating the good work we have been doing, individually and collectively, to refrain from negativity and keep our minds focused on life-affirming ideas. If you cannot be with us in person, you may still be a part of us, as we live stream our Celebration on YouTube. Go to our website: www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange Watch Online button.

You will find our licensed professional Practitioners on their dedicated page on our website and choose whomever you wish to schedule an appointment. They offer the gift of a brief “Three-Minute-Miracle” after Celebration on Sundays, and you may always place a request in the Prayer Chest. Consider arriving by 12:30 P.M. to join Each Sunday, the Practitioner of the Day facilitates a brief Meditation prior to our gathering.

With great love and appreciation,

Dear Ones,

Today, Rev. Mike and I are co-hosting our Upper Main Line Interfaith Alliance luncheon meeting at United Church of Christ, where we also hold our Celebrations Sunday afternoons. We love this interfaith community of ministers, rabbis, priests, and imams, respecting and appreciating the various ways we practice our faith traditions, while cherishing our underlying Oneness with the God of our understanding and with one another.

Understanding that we are all created from the One Life, living, moving, and having our being in God, we remember that the Divine Intention for each of us and for all humankind is to live from the sweet and powerful awareness that this Perfect Life is the only life there is to have or to be. It is in pursuing this consciousness of the Sacred within and all around us that we shift our focus from the world of effect to the Life Divine.

How beautiful it is to appreciate and honor the bountiful ways in which God shows up in the world and to celebrate our ability to see Truth beyond error, Beauty beyond appearances, and Unity in multiplicity. Let’s cultivate the habit of seeing God everywhere and within all.

Join us this Sunday at 1:00 P.M. at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, as we continue the monthly theme, “Divine Discipline and Delight.” We’ll be focusing on “A Divine Design,” recalling that the underlying and eternal plan for all reveals itself as we continue our spiritual work. If you cannot be with us in person, you may still be a part of us, as we live stream our Celebration on YouTube.

Dear Ones,

Thank God for adaptability! We are adjusting to the time change, catching up on any missed sleep, and regaining our clarity of mind and energy of body. Not everyone is affected by external conditions like weather, traffic, seasons, or time change, and we can all learn to become less influenced by outer circumstances. In establishing a sweet and powerful conscious connection with the Spirit within, we are less likely to be disturbed by these temporary events and live each day in greater peace.

In setting the intention to visit and revisit that place of Peace and Power within us, we consciously align with the Omnipresence, Omniscience, and Omnipotent of God, a wonderful discipline for all of us! Understanding that Spirit is everywhere present, all wise, and all powerful, we realize that this is our very nature as spiritual beings, as well.

Our gathering this Sunday at 1:00 P.M. at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, will continue the monthly theme, “Divine Discipline and Delight.” As we continue moving closer to the spring season, I’ll be addressing, “Green and Growing,” a reminder of how we naturally reach toward the Light of Spirit to ascend in consciousness to our Authentic Identity. We also live stream our Celebration on YouTube which you may reach on our website: www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange Watch Online button.

Dear Ones,

Welcome to the season of fasting and praying! Last Friday, our Islamic friends began the observance of Ramadan, and the Christian community will enter into the Lenten Season tomorrow. There can be great benefit in turning inward,

enjoying spiritual contemplation and refraining from anything that does not assist us in our spiritual evolutionary process.

As we spoke about this past Sunday, a number of our people decided to use this special time to refrain from unpleasant thoughts and negative emotions, choosing instead to put their attention on life-affirming ideas and setting their intentions to keep the High Watch. Let’s forego criticism and complaints and indulge deeply in compassion and optimism, following Emmet Fox’s suggest to, “Forget about the problem, and think about God.” Remembering the Creative Power that is ours to use, we can make a positive difference in our own lives and in the larger world.

Join us this Sunday, March 9^th at 1:00 P.M. EST at 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, where we share facilities with the dear people at the United Church of Christ Valley Forge. Rev. Mike will be speaking on, “More Light Ahead,” and reminds everyone to “spring ahead” before Saturday night’s sleep, as Sunday begins Daylight Saving Time. Or you may watch YouTube on our website: www.cslphilly.org and clicking on the orange Watch Online button.

Whenever you may be facing a problem or simply wish a healthy uplift for your consciousness, do visit our Practitioner Page, and select any of them to meet with you in person or over the phone. Whomever you choose will work with you with care and in confidence.

With great love and appreciation,

Dr. Maxine
