Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up
Speaker: Rev. Pat Veenema

On the spiritual journey we sometimes forget that waking up is only the beginning of the journey of establishing the Awakened consciousness. This Sunday Rev Pat will share thoughts about the next steps in the journey are staying awake, growing up, and cleaning up so that we can show up as the True Self, the Light of the world.

Affirmation:  I am a radiating center of the Oneness.

Releasing the Old
Speaker: Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen

The last Sunday of the year, UCP offers a very meaningful ritual we can do together - the Burning Bowl Service.  In order to move forward in our growth and express the highest that is within us, we first must recognize and release what's holding us back and keeping us stuck. This Sunday you will have an opportunity to do this in a very real way.  Together let's release the old so we can grow into our wholeness, and more fully express our inner magnificence.

Joyous Anticipation
Speaker: Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen
Our Advent journey is coming to completion this week with the perfect idea of joy! Joyous anticipation is a natural instinct that children have in abundance. We begin to lose that ability as we get older. This Sunday discover how cultivating joyous anticipation can help to draw what we truly desire into our lives, and bring us one step closer to realizing the promise of Christmas - Peace on Earth and good will toward all.

The Activity of Love
Speaker: Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen
This time of year we have an opportunity to see those heart-warming classic Christmas movies we all love. These films speak to that place in us that knows when we open our hearts and share our love in an active way, we experience happiness and the whole world lights up. But what if we're feeling fearful, or hurt or bereft? How do we connect with that love? Join us this Sunday as we explore ways to channel Divine Love and create a Christmas miracle of our own.

What? LIFE?!!! It's the Dead of Winter!!
Speaker: Pat Webster
 
What is that Power of the Divine, with which we are gifted through God's Love for us? Hint: More than our physical bodies. Do you want to live your life more fully, more powerfully, with more vitality? In this time of year when we move toward the Solstice, the longest night of the year, it is an important time to be aware of Life's Renewal, Earth's Power.
 
This Sunday, Pat Webster will guide us as we enter the Mystery of this through ritual and meditation. Your in-person presence will be so celebrated! If you are joining online, and wish to participate as fully as possible, please find or buy a flower bulb that will be part of our meditation and ritual.

Receiving Miracles
Speaker: Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen
 
What is a miracle? A Course in Miracles defines it as a shift in perception from fear to love. That can sound like a little thing, but when our minds are consumed with fear, or thoughts of lack, to then be able to shift our perception and see the All-Providing nature of Divine Love, and to know that is our essence...well that's huge. That's freedom. That's the love that heals.
 
This Sunday Rev. Victoria shares how we can make that vital shift in perspective and begin to open to the miraculous.

Harvest Time
Speaker: Rev. Victoria Loveland-Coen
 
We've reached that time of year where the seeds we have planted, and have been nurturing, are ready to harvest. It's time to harvest our good! But first, we must recognize that it is there. Developing a gratitude practice can help us with that. But even more, we must be open to receiving. That's the other side of the Law of Circulation.
 
This Sunday, Rev. Victoria will share some ideas for opening up our "receiving channels" for more joy, love, abundance and peace.  We will also be doing a little exercise together to practice receiving, which also includes our UCP "chocolate communion."

Tuning Up Our Power of Release
Speaker: Chris Geith

"Have faith in the power of your mind to penetrate and release the energy that is pent up in the atoms of your body, and you will be astounded at the response."
~ Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, in The Atom-Smashing Power of Mind

As beautiful leaves fall to the ground to enrich new life in the soil, we too can activate our power to release. We're in a cycle of the year that supports our spiritual hygiene. We'll experience several different techniques for tuning up our releasing power - including a simple stone ceremony. After the service, you're also invited to join the Outdoor Mindful Experience event where our ceremonial stones will create a new sacred site near the labyrinth.

If you are unable to attend in-person join us on FACEBOOK LIVE or YOUTUBE LIVE at 11am ET in our UCP Sanctuary without leaving the comfort of your home or vacation spot, and enjoy the whole service with live music!
