Come hear talks on releasing and accepting by minister Debra

Morwood, followed by a burning bowl ritual. Let’s be thinking of how this ceremony can serve us. As we enter 2017 we may release the good for the better, and accept new good into our lives in our health, relationships, career, creativity, passion, and deep sense of the sacred. We’ll also fill out 2017 goal letters, to be mailed back to us at Thanksgiv‐ing! SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 7PM.

Led by minister Marsha Lehman and open to all women of all faiths, this ritual will initi‐ate each woman into the undiscovered riches deep within her feminine well of the infinite self. Following roots into the depth of nurtur‐ing darkness, each woman will emerge with a sense of having reclaimed her deepest power.

Pursuing Excellence and Personal Mastery

How to cultivate a life of deep meaning and lasting happiness If you want a happier, more meaningful life, create at least one habit that brings the quality of excellence and mastery to how you live it. I’m going to tell you the truth: Life can be brutal and unrefined. That’s why it is so important to do something every day that adds fineness and beauty to the struggle. Give me one hour of your time and I promise you complete honesty, and at least the possibility to truly transform your life.

Speaker Troy McConnell spent 22 years in the Nashville music industry as a staff writer and independent producer. He has had songs performed by Garth Brooks, and has shared the stage with then up‐and‐coming artists Garth, Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. He has performed on the Grand Ol’ Opry, had one of his songs played before the Supreme Court of the United States, wrote a jingle for the Firestone Racing Division, and co‐authored a 400‐page music business book entitled Songplugger: the Cuts and the Bruises.

Treatment & Meditation Treatment & Meditation Treatment & Meditation distance class It’s a new Creative Life adventure! Moving deeper into daily spiritual practices with yourself and others is a way to be amazed in the areas of manifestation AND creative contem‐plation. Join us on this 10‐week journey without even leaving the comfort of your home. How can this happen? With the

technology of your telephone and computer you can be in the instant class experience in our virtual gathering. It may take a little adjustment on your part but once you get the hang of it the newness wears off and it feels like “home.” We will learn meditation practices, do affirmative prayer for our‐selves and each other, journal, laugh, share and transform as we use these two spiritual practices on this exciting journey of revealing our true selves. Here is what you need to do: ••• Register for the certificated class, pay $250, and pick up your workbook and textbooks in the CLC bookstore. No tuition is charged to prior graduates and to licensed practitioners who may wish to audit. ••• Look for the special easy‐to‐follow instructions in your e‐mail from Marsha at [email protected]@[email protected]. Subject line: Treatment & Meditation call‐in info. ••• Mark your calendar and start skimming your textbooks. The course is facilitated by minister Marsha Lehman, assisted by practitio‐ner Margaret Byrd, ten TUESDAYS, 6:30‐9:30PM, starting JANUARY 10. Class texts are Meditation For the Love of It by Sally Kempton and Can We Talk to God by Ernest Holmes. (Note: Journey of Awakening by Ram Dass is no longer a required text in this class).

New Year, New You New Year, New You New Year, New You class Your thinking may be something like this: “I don’t want or need a class on New Year’s Resolutions. They don’t work, and that whole rah‐rah! of setting goals and then abandoning them by the middle of February is depressing. Count me out.” Well …if this is you, I’m inviting you to give New Year, New

You a chance. I promise there will not be a goal in sight. Instead, this class is focused on moving through adversity and thriving, hopefully with a sense of purpose and joy. Wouldn’t you like some of that — the joy, the passion, the sense of wonder — instead of the guilt that comes with failed New Year’s resolutions? Practitioner Sharon Mignerey invites you to join her on a 30‐day journey to recapture …or perhaps find for the first time …the passion, the joy, and the wonder in everyday living. Included is a workbook that is filled with tools and techniques to use for the rest of the year. Week 1 Week 1 Week 1 (JANUARY 5): What’s Right …no matter how wrong “stuff” seems right now? Week 2 Week 2 Week 2 (JANUARY 12): The Compass and the Clock …does it really matter when you arrive if you don’t know where you’re going? Week 3 Week 3 Week 3 (JANUARY 19): The Passion Test …are you motivated or inspired (for Sharon there’s a huge difference)? Week 4 Week 4 Week 4 (JANUARY 26): Your Authentic Self …how much do you care what others think of your choices? Week 5 Week 5 Week 5 (FEBRUARY 2): Ode to Joy …isn’t that what you’re really looking for — more joy? It happens THURSDAYS 7‐9PM, JANUARY 5 through FEBRUARY 2. Cost is $50 plus a $10 workbook. Please sign up in Builders’ Hall, and for more information...

children &&& youth

Children begin their Sunday learning adventures in the registration area in the youth foyer, then move to their classrooms, returning to the Great Hall to be reunited with their

parents in time for the closing song. Some Sundays we offer special theme workshops for the kids, too. ••• For parents: age‐appropriate prayer/treatment opens all the classes, and for each class there is age‐appropriate discussion of the monthly theme and creative projects to enhance the learning. • • • Just after noon all the teachers and children gather in the reception area of the Learning Center for our closing prayer circle. Following this, the teachers will bring the children to you in the Great Hall. If you have any questions or con‐cerns about our classes, Debra is in the youth lobby from 10:15‐11AM on SUNDAYS, or call her at (281) 651‐9295 or connect by e‐mail to...

What we teach our children We teach our children that God is Life — the Life within each of them and in all Creation — that all people are children of the One God, and therefore, are all brothers and sisters. ••• We teach that God is all‐inclusive and we are each created in the image of God — Good. ••• We teach that God is Love, and we honor God‐in‐all through love, not fear. ••• We teach that sin is simply a mistake and when we make mistakes, we are punished by them, not by God. ••• We teach that God is Spirit and present everywhere, that this Spirit is within us and speaks to us through our minds when we are willing to listen. ••• We teach that there are spiritual laws that must be understood and followed, just as we follow human laws. ••• We teach that religion is something to be used every day, not just on Sundays. ••• We teach that Religious Science is a religion that can be used at home, at school and at play; that since God is within us, heaven is also within us, that is we learn to live our lives in harmony with God’s Law, we live in heaven now. ••• We teach that keeping the mind focused on good causes a richer experi‐ence of life. • • • We teach that God is truth and beauty, peace and harmony; that as we grow to be more like God, our lives will be filled with health, happiness and success. ••• We teach that nothing is too wonderful to happen, nothing is too good to be true: everything is possible to God through me and you! —adapted from a work by Dorothy Quigley

come teach! We’re seeking one 7‐10 age‐group teacher; one teen group teacher; teachers for all age groups on 5th Sundays;

The 2016‐17 school year is half over, and with it our fourth year of participation, now serving 20 children per weekend, at an estimated total cost of $6,000, or $400 per delivery, or $300 per child served. Know that so far in the program’s history, you have fed over 720 children and their families 5,320 meals. We acknowledge each of you who have been so instrumental in making the Buddy Backpack Project work. Without you, our volunteers, we could not do this! You have donated your time, money and talent so generously. Thank you! Remember we count on your financial support, while the team members shop, prepare, pack and deliver the goods. You can help by donating cash or Kroger cards or generic gift cards (only — no checks, please, or other store‐specific cards). Creative Life was the pilot partner community with the Montgomery County

Food Bank on this project, and since then at least five other churches have joined in. With general questions, and also to volunteer on‐site at the new MCFB facility, e‐mail BBP team leader Carol Stromatt, [email protected]@[email protected]
