Dear Ones,

“Down with Doubt!” A colleague recently uttered these determined words during a ministers’ Zoom gathering, and I loved this clarion call for us to break out of indecision and timidness and gain the glorious confidence that is our birthright! Even an occasional break from worry or doubt can change one’s consciousness for the better.  It is as we seek to develop greater faith by inviting Spirit’s Wisdom and Harmony to fill us that we finally learn to live in Grace and Serenity.

Returning often to Source, experiencing the Peace of the Presence, and feeling Its Power, we become free of any attachments to fearful thoughts and emotions.  In knowing our unity with the Divine, we no longer doubt the Indwelling Power and Presence of which we were formed and from which we derive our very life.  So, “down with doubt” and up with faith in Spirit’s nurture and guidance, each and every day!

Join us this Sunday, August 3^rd at UCCVF , 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, as we begin a new month, whose theme is ”Take a Vacation from Doubt.” My topic will be, “What Do You Know for Certain?” Celebration begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange button Watch Online button to be with us virtually.  You are very much a part of our Beloved Community as online participants in our Sunday Celebrations.

Licensed Professional Practitioners are available to you and can be found on their own page on our website. Any of them will be happy to work with you in spiritual mind treatment (affirmative prayer.)

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Whether attempting a physical feat, working with a mathematical problem, or sorting through any personal challenge, we need a sense of confidence in our abilities and in Divine Direction. Before embarking on any task or project, we are wise to sit still long enough to fill up with assurance in the Presence of Universal Guidance and a strong belief in Its expression in and through us.

The athlete who feels certain of his or her capabilities and especially senses a Presence and Power ready to bring success, is much more likely to do well than without such a wise approach. Anything to which we choose to turn our hands, hearts, and minds will be accomplished brilliantly when we first reaffirm our oneness with Spirit and invite It to direct us into victory. Let’s open our consciousness to this Guiding Presence and invite It to move us with Grace and Ease every day, all day long.

Come be with us this Sunday, July 27th at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, as I share thoughts on, “Confidence Makes the Ride Smoother.” Celebration begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually. Our Beloved Community includes all who participate with us, in person or online.

Reach out to one of our Licensed Professional Practitioners when you feel too close to a situation or simply wish to have a “faith lift.” They are all listed on their own page on our website, and any of them will be happy to work with you.

With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine

We are doubly blessed to be receiving Bob and Danielle  Branciforte into our Practitioner Core. Be sure to attend (in person or virtually) as they officially join the “God Squad” during our Celebration on Sunday, August 17^th.  In the meantime, they may be reached for spiritual work by contacting them through their information listed on the Our Practitioners of our website.

At this time, they live in Tallahassee, Florida, not far from another of our out-of-area Practitioners, Beau Smith, and are a marvelous addition to our Team.  We are grateful now to have four local and four non-local Licensed Professional Practitioners enhancing our Beloved Community. As Bob and Danielle are enthusiastically and officially received and dedicated, the other six will participate in a Rededication Ceremony on August 17th.

Dear Ones,

“To err is human; to forgive, divine.”  None of us has escaped making what we consider to be “mistakes,” and, we likely have learned and grown through having experienced them. We probably have found, on more than one occasion, that we were seemingly lifted out of such an error without much effort of our own.  This is called, “Grace,” a movement of Spirit within us and a divine activity available to us all.

“For-giving” can be viewed as a wise exchange, as in giving something better for something lesser.  Each time we replace an erroneous idea with one of Truth, we have “forgiven,” whether ourselves or others.  It is a divine action to see through the appearance of wrongdoing to the eternal, spiritual reality.  Each step we take in consciousness toward seeing with the Eye of the Heart opens us to a more constant expression of Grace in our lives.

Join us this Sunday as Rev. Mike discusses, “Moving With Grace . . . Even Clumsily,” at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. Celebration begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually.  Our Beloved Community includes all who participate with us, in person or online. Be with us and feel our unity.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are standing by to support us prayerfully whenever we may need our consciousness lifted. They are all listed on their own Practitioner page on our website, and any of them will welcome a call.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Ernest Holmes began his presentations with these familiar words: “There is a Power for Good in the world, greater than you are, and you can use It!” This must have seemed a remarkable concept to those who were not yet aware of the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe and how It flowed through each and all of us.  Once we are lifted out of false beliefs in limitation or separation, our perception of possibility deepens, and our perspective of greater living expands.

What we have come to realize is that this Divine Creative Power can use US as instruments of Peace and Plenty in the world.  Once we understand the process of co-creation, we are not only able to enhance our own life experiences, but we are capable of transforming the world we know.

The first step is to accept and celebrate our Oneness with Divine Life and the necessity of each of us to do our part as an important individualized expression of It. Once we understand our True Identity, we understand how essential we are as instruments of the Divine. Let’s employ this Power for Good in our own lives and invite It to use us for ever-growing Good in the world.

Be with us this Sunday as we focus on “Making Friends with the Ocean of Life” in UCCVFs lovely sanctuary at 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. Celebration begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15 minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the  orange Watch Now button to be with us virtually.  Our Beloved Community includes all who participate with us, either in person or online.

We are grateful for our Licensed Professional Practitioners and their willingness to support us prayerfully when we feel challenged with concerns, internal or external. They are all listed on their own page on our website, and any of them will welcome a call from you.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
