9 AM and 11 AM

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

I’m in an Easter State of Mind

(sung to the tune of “I’m in a New York State of Mind”)

We know that the Easter holiday is about resurrection. For metaphysicians, resurrection is about awakening the part of the self that has gone to sleep. Sometimes we feel that some part of the self may even have died because of duress, misuse, or lack of use. However, it’s not true! Having and being part of life means that all of the self gets to live no matter what we do or what happened in the past, or not. Put on your best Easter outfit and join Rev. Martha on Sunday as we discover all the life inside of us!

Michael Herndon, Guest Musician

Originally from New York City Michael has lived and performed in the Albuquerque area since 1988. Known for Dynamic style influenced by Jazz, R & B, and Gospel, he has demonstrated a fluidity and command of material from classical to reggae. Whether performing with his own ensemble Maiden Voyage, or performing as a solo artist he electrifies audiences with passion and conviction.

Michael Also uses his talents as a lyricist and vocal arranger to several projects both local and national. 2001 saw the successful release of a project origination in Denver Colorado featuring former Earth, Wind, & Fire saxophonist Andrew Woolfolk. During his career Michael has entertained on both concert stages with stadium capacities opening for acclaimed artists such as CoCo Taylor the undisputed Queen of Blues, and more intimate club stages performing with the likes of Kenny Neil Band and the Kinsey Report with equal comfort and command.

If asked, Michael will tell you with q quixotic smile that he stopped seeing himself as a “singer” a long time ago, in favor of becoming a “vocal instrument” meshing with instrumentalists as he says” Just the lead soloing instrument of the moment within the music as a whole working towards the same goal: Inspiration, innovation, and devotion.”ring his career Michael has entertained on both concert stages with stadium capacities opening for acclaimed artists such as CoCo Taylor the undisputed Queen of Blues, and more intimate club stages performing with the likes of Kenny Neil Band and the Kinsey Report with equal comfort and command.

The Daily Meditation 4.19.2014

“One, only One”

Rev Bonny Allen Rice, Minister

“This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
John 15:12 “Love is a cosmic force whose sweep is irresistible.”

The Science of Mind Pg. 608

One, only One

One Power, One Presence, One mind, One Love in all life and in every moment of transcendence.

One, only One.

In the transcendent moment we allow what ever is no longer working to be shed, to leave in Love, having learned from the experience what we needed to learn and rise up from it renewed and grateful. I celebrate the expansion of light and the quickening of love in my heart as well as the growth of compassion which I am learning on this human level. Love and Truth remains the guiding light and in Wisdom I allow Spirit to guide me.

One, only One.

In gratitude to Spirit, In gratitude for Love, Life Transcendence and In gratitude to my teachers

I simply let it be

And so it is

Amen

Rev Bonny Allen Rice is a Minister and is the Pastoral Care Director at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

What We Believe

What We Teach

We teach the Science of Mind, which is the study of Life and the nature of the laws of thought; the idea that we live in a Spiritual Universe; that God or Spirit is in, through, around us; and that this Presence is a loving source of all Good.
