Celebration of Life Service
"
The Road To Joy"
With With Rev. Pamela Whitman

This Sunday Awakened Heart welcomes back Pamela Whitman, a descent of Walt Whitman, as our speaker and musician. 

As we advance on our journey, we learn to value content over form. We value joy, love, and peace because those are all names for God. We can recognize the perfect plan for our lives unfolding in every moment and embrace changes in external forms as an opportunity for adventure.

Rev. Pamela Whitman facilitates the daily A Course in Miracles Workbook Conference Call and weekly zoom gatherings. She is a frequent guest speaker and soloist at New Thought Churches. Waterside Productions (DreamSculpt) published her book “Yield to Joy - The Miraculous Power of Forgiveness” in 2020.

She is an active recording artist and hosted A Course in Miracles radio programming for ten years. Pamela earned her degree in Flute Performance from the University of Michigan. In the summers she enjoys playing classical favorites in the Ocean City Pops Orchestra in New Jersey, where she has been the Principal Flutist since 1989.
