Ministries
Ministries are the organized activities of our community with the intention of bringing more Love, more joy, more prosperity and Good to all involved.
We currently host a Celebration ministry, creating the Sunday program and other events. The Education ministry conducts classes, workshops, seminars. The Teen ministry hosts ongoing activities with the youth in our community, and the Practical Prayer ministry is devoted to healing through spiritual growth. Many other groups - large and small - take part in a variety of activities throughout our community.
You Are Perfect, Now
Our culture has ideas of right and wrong, of good and bad, and other judgments. There are shared ideas of beauty, of prosperity, of ethics and values, and so forth. These are all real and they are quite superficial. The Truth we are uncovering is the realization that everything is part of a single creation. Everything is God. Everything is Love. And everything is perfect, just as it is.
The changes we are creating through this prayer work are not to take something “bad” and make it “good”; our work, instead, is to accept the good that is already at hand, accept that it is already part of the Infinite One, and to create a new experience which fits more harmoniously with our desires. Some people like chocolate and others like vanilla. This process is about putting each together with their favored flavor.

Notes for our Musicians
This information is provided as guidance for our visiting musicians. Please be sure to communicate directly with the Production Team about the details of your appearance
Our weekly Celebration generally has six songs.
The Celebration follows an energetic flow based on Theory U. We consider you to be the musical member of the team that's bringing the message and sense of spiritual connection to the congregation. You can use your own music or covers, or whatever combination works best. If you have an idea or a question, please share it!
We print a weekly program/order of service that includes song titles and lyrics for congregational/sing alongs. Please get the song list us no later than Thursday.
Age Requirements for Teens
Our guidelines are somewhat flexible.
In a nutshell, spiritual groups and Centers that run Teen and Tween programs let kids join the Teen group when they'll be 13 in time for the next major regional event, six months before the event so they have lead-up time with their home group. In practice, we do Initiations as soon as we get back from a regional event for everyone who will be 13 for the next one.
Teen Code of Conduct
The Notheast Teens program is dedicated to the purpose of self-discovery through the ever-expanding awareness of the indwelling Presence of God. The teens are preparing for the responsibilities of life through the teaching and practice of the fundamental wisdom expressed in New Thought teaching.
Northeast Teens Intention
The intention of our Teen program is to create a safe and supportive environment in which each teen participant is able to experience unconditional Love free of judgment, to express themselves openly, and to deepen into a greater awareness of their own spiritual nature.
