10 AM

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

Rev. Martha surveyed the congregation to find out what topics they wanted to hear about on Sunday morning. Congregants sent in over 80 suggestions. All of the talks this fall are directly taken from the survey and dedicated to the people who come to the Sunday Service. To all of the congregants and visitors, thank you for creating a world-class spiritual community with your presence, your talent, and your treasure. You have already changed the world.

“How Habits are Formed“

Positive and negative habits are formed exactly the same way and they are formed because they are useful to us. What do we do when our habits stop being useful to us? How do we break old patterns and form new ones? Join Rev. Martha on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. as we discover the habit of joy!

I Am a Conscious Thinker

Lovater Jones, RScP

“…I am, and have always been perfect. I will now begin to think differently about myself and see what happens. As he began to think from the new basis he found that the body responded and was healed.”

Ernest S. Holmes

The Science of Mind

Original 1926 Text

According to Dr. Holmes “There is a thinker and doer back of the organism who is using it for a conscious purpose.” This “Thinker” is there even though It is unseen. We, however, see the evidence of Its presence. We speak, yet we do not see all that takes place as our vocal chord forms sounds. We breathe and we know that the lungs are primary to this function, but what is it that causes the lungs to do its work? I posit that it is the Thinker, Intelligence, Source Energy, Spirit, God!

To the degree that we are aware of, and acknowledge that there is, within all living beings, an energy source that animates our bodie, thinks our thoughts, breathes us, animates us, directs, sustains and maintains our lives, we are in conscious alignment with that which is The Thinker/Spirit/Source Energy! This “Thinker”is always acting on the thoughts of the Conscious mind. That is to say, It brings into manifestation that which we consciously or unconsciously think into it. Each of us is the creator of our experiences through the action of thought. Therefore, our declaration today and every day is this: I AM A CONSCIOUS THINKER! I THINK THE THOUGHTS I WISH TO EXPERIENCE! I AM HAPPY, I AM JOYFUL, I AM BEAUTIFUL, I HAVE ALL THE GOOD I DESIRE!

And so it is!

Namaste!

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.

VISION Connecting Community Through Spirit!

MISSION We recognize that an inherent desire in every individual is to realize the person God intended us to be. As we realize our true God selves, the greatest gift we can give another is to support him or her in becoming that God person too.

Most important, every man, woman and child who lives in the Universe is significant to the Creator. Our doors will forever be open to all…
