Themes - There are always two months
available from this page.
September
2010 Theme – Prove It! Live, Love, Laugh Abundantly
In the Science
of Mind/Unity faith and philosophy, we find spiritual principles
that teach us how to live, love and laugh abundantly. Science of
Mind founder Ernest Holmes wrote he would “rather see a student
of this Science prove its Principle than to have him repeat all
the words of wisdom that have ever been uttered.” During the
month of September, we set out prove the principles behind living,
loving and laughing abundantly. And one of the foundational principles
just might surprise you. Be with us the entire month to be surprised,
delighted and counted among those who prove it!
Talk
1 – Are You a ‘Go-Getter’ or a ‘Go-Giver’?
The Go-Giver, a delightful parable by Bob Burg and John David Mann,
sets forth five Laws of Stratospheric Success based on the foundational
principle of living, loving and laughing abundantly. Today we begin
to unwrap this foundational principle and then dig deeper into it
each week.
Talk 2 – What Do You Bring to the Table?
According to The Go-Giver, great fortunes in the world have been
created by men and women who had a greater passion for what they
were giving – their products, their services or their ideas
– than for what they were getting. Today we look at the first
two Laws of Stratospheric Success by asking “what do you bring
to the table?”
Talk
3 – Enlightened Self Interest
The Third and Fourth Laws of Stratospheric Success invite you into
“enlightened self interest” by realizing that when you
genuinely care about meeting the needs of others, then your interests
will be taken care of as well – always and in all ways!
Talk
4 – The Final, Ultimate Key to Living, Loving and Laughing
Abundantly
The Fifth Law of Stratospheric Success according to The Go-Giver
may come as a surprise. It may even seem inconsistent with all we
have discussed this month. But, then again, spiritual truths are
often tucked carefully inside paradoxes. Be sure to be with us this
Sunday to learn the final key to living, loving and laughing abundantly!
Monthly
Affirmation:
It is my divine
right to live, to love and to laugh abundantly! Today I ensure this
right by being a giver to life – always and in all ways.

October
2010 - Being the Flow of God’s Great Good
“Being
the Flow of God’s Great Good” is our theme for the next
five weeks. During this time, we will explore what it means to “BE
the flow” -- not just to “be IN the flow,” mind
you, but to “BE the flow.” There is a big difference!
Each week we will focus on one of the Six Spiritual Practices that,
when done together and consistently, open us up to being and experiencing
God’s Great Good.
Talk
1 - Spiritual Practice 1 - Inspired Giving
Prosperity Guru Edwene Gaines always says, “If you have to
eat a jar of frogs, you might as well eat the big one first.”
So, that is what we will do today as we will explore our first,
and sometimes most challenging, yet most liberating, concept of
being the flow -- the concept of being an inspired giver.
Talk
2 - Spiritual Practice 2 – Prosperity Through Purpose
In order to “be the flow,” we must realize who we are.
We must get on purpose with our lives. We must recognize that we
are heirs to the Kingdom. Today, we will align with purpose. [Minister’s
note: This talk incorporates a Power Point of scanned pictures from
The Meaning of Life by Bradley Trevor Greive, Gift Books from Hallmark,
Andrews McMeel Publishing, pp. 43 – 121]
Talk
3 - Spiritual Practice 3 - Let Go and Flow
Fall is just around the corner and the time for fall cleaning is
at hand. What must be released in your consciousness in order for
God’s Great Good to express in your life? Are you willing
to let go and flow?
Talk 4 - Spiritual Practice 4 - The Three Tiers of Forgiveness
Plus
We have all been taught that forgiveness is an imperative spiritual
practice. And, it is. This morning, however, we are called to take
a higher look at the idea of forgiveness as we choose to live AS
God.
Talk
5 - Spiritual Practices 5 & 6 - Naming Our Good and Sticking
to It!
Goals. Intentions. Measurable Outcomes. Whatever you want to call
it, our fifth of six spiritual practices for living as the flow
is to be clear about what it is we desire to create. And finally,
our sixth Spiritual Practice to be persistent and determined, knowing
that persistence and determination take us to completion. [Minister’s
Note: Record a CD of prosperity affirmations and give one away of
every person who has attended all 5 Sundays of the month. The script
for the affirmations is part of this month’s package.]
