Thank you for your interest in this spiritual
community as it joins other
New Thought communities around the world in supporting The Season
for
Nonviolence. We are celebrating 64 Days of Nonviolence honoring the
passing of
Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948 and Martin Luther King, Jr. on
April, 1968. Two
individuals who epitomized the active role of Nonviolence, a Reverence
for
Life. Our Sunday Services for the month of February will reflect on
Gandhi and
his transformative power of love through peaceful resolutions.
We will touch
on the Universal Principles reflected in such topics as Transformation
on
February 4; Healthy Finances will feature a special guest speaker,
Rev. Rodney
Scott on the February 8, and continue with Love is the Way -
People of Courage
and Integrity, and Compassion and Forgiveness.
You may then chose to join one of the Wednesday morning or evening
discussion groups for further exploration of these topic as they
relate to
transformation in your life: Rev. Doris Avery at 10:10 a.m.
or Rev. Alexandra Potash
at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. A love offering is appreciated.

March will find us focusing
on Martin Luther King, Jr. and peaceful
resolutions to nonviolence. King, like many great leaders,
had a dream for his
people and our nation, but never got to see it come into manifestation
as his
life was cut short. Now it is our responsibility to follow through and
see that
the dream of peace, greater freedom, and equality for all humankind comes
true. Sunday, March 7, Practitioner, Ms Annie McCary will speak
on “King
the
Man” and his ideas on peaceful solutions. Other Sunday topics will
focus on
Non-resistance - “Yield and Prevail”, Nonviolent Communications,
Healing
Prejudges, and finish on April 4, Palm Sunday with “A Call to Service”.
Be sure to join the ongoing Wednesday discussion groups in March
as we share our thoughts on peace, and have fun looking at the
Social Sins according
to Gandhi:
- Wealth without Work
- Commerce without Morality
- Education without Character
- Pleasure without Conscience
- Science without Humanity
- Worship without Sacrifice.
If
you are unable to participate in any of the above, please feel
free to stop by the Center for Creative and
Conscious Living in Cypress and pick up
a
weekly prayer card for your use in your daily prayer work. How very powerful
we can be in a unified consciousness for peace on earth and a reverence
for
all life. What difference we can make with a “Nonviolent World that works
for
everyone in which no one is left out,” stated Gandhi.
Rev. Doris Avery, Chairperson for A Season for Nonviolence
