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.

"Practical Prayer for Real Results" Book
by Rev. Bill Marchiony
A Practical Prayer is a one that is answered.
Practical Prayer works for anyone, regardless of their religious background or experience. The clearly defined sequence of steps for Practical Prayer described in this book are distilled from a common thread found in the spiritual practices of religions and disciplines all over the world.

God Calls
God Calls are your reminder that the Bright Light of God's Love is shining right now - as YOU! It's a simple way to pause in your daily activity for a gentle and uplifting moment of Truth.
The Calls go out every couple of days - between 8:15am and 6pm. You can listen live, or play them back from your voicemail. It's not a conversation, and you needn't respond in any way. Just listen, and let the Love wash over you.
Try it free for two weeks, or give God Calls as a gift.
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.

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.
