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.
Sun Dec 22 - "The Spirit of Giving"
Virtual Celebration
You're making a list, and checking it twice. Celebrating the season of shopping excess, and the pressure of planning, buying, wrapping, and giving. Rev. Bill Marchiony takes a breather from the hustle and bustle with a reminder about abundance and gratitude, and how presence can be more powerful than presents.
As always, the Practitioner Core leads the Celebration in meditation and prayer.
Live music by the fabulous Jeff Lesser ties it all together.
Sun Dec 29 - White Stone Ceremony
Virtual Celebration
We'll wrap up the year with a special ceremony, using white stones imported from Jerusalem to set an intention for the Good that we're inviting into our lives in 2025. It's a beautiful way to ring in the new year. If you’d like a Jerusalem stone,
It's part of the fifth Sunday Healing Celebration, where Rev. Bill Marchiony and the Practitioner Core lead us in a deep and profound process through which we all gain greater insight into our connection with Spirit.
Live, original music by Emily Drinker.
Every Sunday
We gather online from 10:30-11:45 interactive on Zoom or watch on YouTube Live, even on the Sundays we meet in person.
Welcome & meditation begins at 10:15.
Each Celebration is a blend of inspiring words, personal spiritual practice and fellowship with bright Lights of Divine Love just like you. We also have a lot of fun and laughter - it's easy to be spiritual without being stodgy or pious. This is a hands-on approach to make the concepts of Practical Spirituality accessible in a powerful and personal way.

My Election Intention
Tune Out the Fear - Tune In the Vision
Beginning on July 28 and continuing for 100 days (Nov. 4) - we are cultivating a special mindfulness practice to raise the vibration for the 2024 US Presidential Election.
The airwaves are filled with fear, noise and anxiety closing in from all sides. While it is important to be an informed voter - it is also critical to pay mindful attention to the vibration and frequency of our consciousness, knowing that the quality and tenor of our thinking directly impacts the quality of our experience. With that in mind, we seek to intentionally cultivate a high vibration mindfully grounded spiritual practice for 100 days.
