Mar 11, 2025Dear 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.

Mar 04, 2025Dear 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.

Feb 11, 2025Dear Ones, Of course, we must begin this message with a huge shout-out to our victorious Eagles, who are Super Bowl LIX Champions! One of our astute members was certain that their win had something to with how gloriously we raised our voices to “Fly, Eagles, Fly!” at the conclusion of our recent Sunday Celebration!

Feb 04, 2025Dear Ones, This month theme, “Love is Service” reminds us that Love is both an Indwelling Essence and a conscious, caring practice. The Presence of Divine Love within all life must be actualized through intentional, externalized action.
