As we awaken to the Divine Presence of Love and Infinite Wisdom within us, we can no longer remain “stuck” in conditions or false beliefs that may have followed us for years. As Buckminster Fuller once wisely remarked, “We have been like infants, crawling around on the floor of the universe!” Don’t you think it is time we gathered our internal and external resources and began acknowledging the magnificent beings we were created to be?

As we rise up in consciousness, recalling with gratitude just Who and Whose we truly are, there is no limit to what we can do, individually and together. As Margaret Mead suggested, “Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; for indeed, that’s all who ever have.” How wonderful to realize that, as we deepen our conscious awareness of our oneness with Source, lifting our own sense of what is infinitely possible, our joining with like-minded people can change much.

Let’s dive deeply into Spirit and connect compassionately and powerfully  with others, as we drop all limitations and live courageously here and now!

This Sunday’s Celebration at 1:00 P.M. EDT, will complete the monthly theme of “Step Out Fearlessly,” focusing on, “Aligned with Spirit, Boldly We Go.” It is time we ceased playing small and began to invite the Power of Spirit to inspire and engage us in magnificent expressions of Life. We meet at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org

An insightful and delightful Annual Community Meeting will follow our Sunday Celebration, with a selection of pizza offered in Fellowship Hall.  Your Board of Trustees plans a wonderful gathering, both for those who can be with us in person and for anyone at a distance who joins us on Zoom. However you connect with us, you are a significant part of our spiritual family, and your voice is a necessary part of our vision and activities.

 With great love and respect,

Dear Ones,

Fortunately, not too many of us feel that we must “go it alone” when faced with a difficult task or challenging situation.  We rely on the Presence within us for nurture and guidance and are wise enough to accept support  and encouragement from dear people, whether family or friends. Occasionally, we may even find inspiration from a stranger and find that allies come in many forms. A cheerful word, reassuring glance, or bit of unexpected praise may often lift us out of doubt into renewed confidence.

Thankful for our circle of supporters, we experience their positive energy that helps us to move forward. Grateful for the Divine Guidance within us, we deepen our faith in a Power greater than we are and step forth boldly into new enterprises. Let’s recognize and honor all our allies and remember that we truly are never alone.

Be with us either in person or online this coming Sunday at 1:00 P.M. EDT, as we continue the monthly theme of “Step Out Fearlessly,” focusing on, “Let’s Gather Our Allies.” Being in the presence of conscious, creative, supportive people helps us all on our spiritual evolutionary journeys. We meet at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  and clicking on the Watch Online link.  However you connect with us, you are a significant part of our spiritual family, and we care deeply about you.

With great love and respect,

Dear Ones,

The word, courage, is a favorite of mine, as it has its roots in the French, cour, or “of the heart. Truly, it takes real heart to be brave, to face our challenges with confidence in ourselves and in the Divine Presence which motivates and inspires us to keep moving ahead. As we begin a new month, our theme will be, “Step Our Fearlessly,” a wonderful intention for us as individuals and as a Beloved Community.

Whether we participate in Sunday Celebrations, social activities, classes, or other GPCSL events, simply stepping out with faith and confidence, guided and inspired by the Infinite Wisdom, and nurtured by Divine Love, we can find ourselves living more fully. Let’s take advantage of all the ways we may “live life out loud” by first connecting deeply with Spirit’s nurturing presence within us.

Be with us either in person or online this coming Sunday at 1:00 p.m.. EDT, as we begin the month with, “First, We Go Deep,” supporting each other in living courageously and freely, as we continue along our spiritual evolutionary paths. We meet at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org and click on the Watch Now or simply click here.  However you connect with us, you are a significant part of our spiritual family, and you matter to us.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

How wonderful it feels to be welcoming the first day of autumn! The cooler days, changing flora, increased energy, and opportunities for newness are already bringing about a sense of great joy and happy anticipation. It is this precious and powerful moment of NOW that is filled with infinite possibilities for ourselves, our loved ones, our Beloved Community, and the whole world.

As we willingly enter in with delight to this new season with open hearts and minds, we recall that all the Power that ever was or will be is here . . . NOW! It dwells within us all, ready and willing to manifest great and growing good in our lives, personally and collectively, as we identify with our precious and powerful Source and make clear, conscious choices.

Join us next Sunday at 1:00 P.M. EDT, as Rev. Mike focuses on, “The Best of Times is Now!” in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  Whether attending in person or virtually, you are all an important part of our spiritual family.

 With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

An important part of Living Fully, as we are learning to do more successfully this month, is to honor change and realize how sacred and essential it truly is for health and wellbeing. Rather than resisting or avoiding necessary shifts in our attitudes, experiences, and circumstances, we are wise to embrace and anticipate them with confidence and gratitude. Since life moves forward, never backward, it just makes sense for us to learn to live in its flow, curious and happily anticipating each next step.

Adventures await us, as we welcome fresh opportunities to allow our Divine Authenticity to emerge and express through each of us and to celebrate the Nurturing and Wise Presence that leads us gracefully through each portal into a fuller, wider, and deeper experience of real aliveness.

Be with us next Sunday at 1:00 P.M. EDT, as we focus on, “The Holiness of Change,” either in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org.  Whether attending in person or virtually, you are all an important part of our spiritual family and very much appreciated.

Our Licensed Practitioners, affectionately known as “The God Squad,” provide spiritual support for our Center, and for individuals seeking an uplift of consciousness. They are all listed on their  webpage and offer the gift of a “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Additionally, you may place a request into our Prayer Chest. They are available for one-on-one Practitioner sessions.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
