Sunday Celebration Services
Our Sunday Celebration services are creatively diverse, musically jubilant, and wholly spirit-filled! In addition to motivational services led by our Community Spiritual Leader and licensed Practitioners, we also draw from a pool of local talent as well as internationally renowned guest speakers.
2012's Theme: Living a Life Beyond Belief!
Integration and transformation through a renovation of our hearts and minds
"Insight alone is enlightening. Insight declared and shared can change the world. We are all possibility thinkers, and now is the time to come together and make a dramatic shift in consciousness to create a new reality…a massive force for good in the world. The great use of a life is to create something that will outlast it." ~ Dr. Jean Houston
Book recommendation for January, February, and March is Life Beyond Belief – Every Day Living as a Spiritual Practice by Alice Garner.
This past year we looked at spiritual practices as a way to deepen into or keep us focused on our spiritual nature, these practices help to quiet the mind or open ourselves to new perceptions of reality. While all the practices are beneficial, Life Beyond Belief is a about a type of spiritual practice that is not added to daily life, but is already integrated as a part of it.
“Knowing spiritual truths is one thing. Living them fully is quite another. While it is wonderful to meet who we really are behind our conditioning and to see life for what it is, it is my (the author's) experience that this is only one part of a multi-faceted process. The larger process is about letting our realization enter every aspect of our human nature so that the flavor of the divine moves through us in the midst of every kind of circumstance, comfortable or not.” ~ Alice Garner
Integration happens with a message about God Infinite Intelligence, Spirit, Life, on the firs Sunday of the month. We will discover how to live from the inside out. Transformation happens as we deepen into the theme with messages about taking our spirituality out into the world, living, loving and manifesting our dreams and our hearts desires.
February
Theme: Living from the Heart
Feb 5th: Living From the Heart of the Beloved - Rev. Anna Marie
“There is always a silent communion going on between the individual soul and the invisible Presence, in which we live, move and have our being. By communion we mean silently entering into Divine harmony and beauty until we feel that harmony and beauty in our own souls."
~ Ernest Holmes
AHSC KIDZ: The Golden Rule: The children explain the meaning of The Golden Rule in their own words and list positive traits in others and themselves.
Feb 12th: Phil Jones
"The human soul may be thought of as an opening through which Infinite Energy is seeking a creative outlet." ~ Emmet Fox
Infinite Energy has found a creative outlet through renowned musician Phil Jones, who will be speaking at the service and sharing his incredible musical talent. After the service he will be leading a workshop from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.
The workshop focuses on spiritual breath and vibration techniques with the Australian didgeridoo. No musical experience is necessary to participate in this transformational workshop.
AHSC KIDZ: What I say, Think, and Do Comes Back to Me: The children describe the meaning of “reciprocity” (what I give out, I get back),
Feb 19: The Courage to Follow our Hearts - Rev. Anna Marie
"As the essence of courage is to stake one's life on a possibility, so the essence of faith is to believe the possibility exists." ~ William Slater
Musical Guests: Deb Chamberlin and Robert Wynn
AHSC KIDZ: If I Want a Friend, Be a Friend: The youth discuss the meaning of friendship and relate love and kindness to friendship.
Feb 26: Love Beyond Belief - Rev. Anna Marie and the AHSC Practitioners.
"Love is not the answer, Love is the assignment." ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This service is being creatively coordinated with Rev. Anna Marie by the AHSC Practitioners. This interactive service takes us beyond experience right to the place of recognizing that the eternal qualities of love, joy, peace are not something we experience more fully; it is what we have always been and always will be.
AHSC KIDZ: If You Do Not Like What is Coming to You, You Can Change It!
Children explain in their own words how to change how life shows up.
