CCSL’s theme for the year 2012 is THE INVITATION TO A NEW WORLD. All throughout the year we’ll invite you to a different aspect of creating that new world, one person at a time. For February, the perfect subject of our Sunday messages is LOVE! We’ll learn the latest in science about the power of this state of being. We’ll talk about what compassion really represents, and how loving yourself is possibly the most important thing you can do for the world.
And our musicians will sing us LOVE each Sunday. Our special guest on March 26th is Minnesota singer/songwriter Peter Mayer, whose songs evoke heart-fullness. Don’t miss his concert the night before. I hope you’ll join us.
Sun Feb 5 Doing the Heart Math: The Biology of Love
MUSIC – Don Ervin
Science suggests that the next stage of human evolution will be marked by awareness that we are all interdependent cells within the super organism called humanity. First, however, we must work in our own backyard. We must change the evolution of our individual selves so the collective consciousness can progress. [We must] download new beliefs of empowerment and love into memory so our cells have new, lovely tunes to play with lyrics that affirm our lovability. – Interview with Bruce Lipton, SOM Magazine
Sun Feb 12 Guest Speaker, Dr. Joanne Blum A Higher Love
MUSIC – Skip Sams
Love is stronger than death. He that hath love hath freedom from every ill. He that hath abundance of love, wherewith God fills the whole universe, can save his friends from every ill. He is an atmosphere wherever he walks. -- Emma Curtis Hopkins, Scientific Christian Mental Practice
Sun Feb 19 Rx: Self-Compassion
MUSIC – Maggie Ervin
I was once at a conference in which Iyanla Vanzant gave an amazing presentation about her new love. She had everyone spellbound for several minutes—and then she announced that her new love was herself. She had discovered that she was the one for whom she had been waiting.--Rev Cynthia James, pg. 34, SOM Magazine
Sun Feb 26 Loving the World
MUSIC – Peter Mayer
What if we asked ourselves, what would I do if I were love? The world awaits this divine discovery. …when we stop putting the responsibility outside of our own purview, …the onus and the urgency for the action changes. Love always says yes. It does not know of strife, struggle, or starvation; it only knows to love. If we were love, we would cast out all fear and perform the actions…that bring into being a world that works for everyone. – Dr. Kenn Gordon, pg 14, SOM Magazine
Much love and many blessings,
