Dear Ones,

The One Divine Light finds Its expression in and through each of us, so it is important to remember how essential we are to the dissemination of Love and Wisdom to the world. It is as we become aware of Its steadfast glow within our own hearts that we become able and willing to share this Light with others. It is in the sharing that our consciousness deepens and expands, and we experience great joy and satisfaction in being the instruments of God’s Presence.

We have finally arrived at the time for our very special Annual Winter Solstice, coming up this Saturday at UCCVF. This sweet and powerful interfaith event begins at 6:30 P.M. with music and presenters from many faith traditions and reception following. This year’s theme, “From the Darkness of Division to the Light of Love,” and it seems to perfect time to celebrate Unity in Diversity and shed a little light on everyone. Bring your family and friends and come early to find your seats.

Continuing this month’s theme, “Bring in the Light,” this Sunday will focus on, “Sharing the Illuminated Presence.” Enjoy a short meditation with our Practitioner of the Day at 12:30, then gather in the Sanctuary for our 1:00 P.M. ET Celebration. We’ll enjoy holiday refreshments together after service, including your minister’s Heavenly Swedish Tea Ring. If you are out of the area, please join us online by logging on to our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are always to lift us in prayer and assist in in deepening our faith.  Click here to see their dedicated page on our website and contact any of them for a personal appointment. They are also here for “3-Minute Miracles” for brief meetings on Sundays after service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment by the “God Squad.”

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

The holiday season is in full swing, and the sights and sounds of the season can bring us great delight, if we choose to align ourselves with the ever-present Grace and Joy that surrounds and indwells us. Many of us are preparing for Christmas celebrations, not only sending greetings, planning gatherings, shopping for gifts and food, and decorating, but also opening our hearts to the rebirth of the Christ Consciousness within us all. Of course, this Divine Presence lives within us all, although called by different names: Krishna, Buddha, Atman, Emanuel, and we invite this inner illumination to light our way each day.

As this Divine Light radiates outward from our hearts, warming and blessing everyone and everything around us, we enter more deeply into a greater possibility of experiencing heaven on earth and the flow of Divine Love through all humanity. Let’s keep our Lights shining brightly, as we enjoy this sacred season, and be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to attend our Annual Winter Solstice at UCCVF on Saturday, December 20^th.

Our new monthly theme is, “Bring in the Light,” and this Sunday’s message is about, “You Shine!” Enjoy a short meditation with our Practitioner of the Day at 12:30, then gather in the Sanctuary for our 1:00 P.M. Celebration. If you are out of the area, please join us online by logging on to our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually.
