Our Vision
​
Our vision is to establish a spiritual community of loving, compassionate leaders who are examples of healthy, abundant, conscious, peaceful and joy-filled living.
Five Basic Beliefs
1) God is good and everywhere present
2) The spirit of God lives within each and every person.
3) We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.
4) There is a power in affirmative prayer which we believe increases our connection to God
5) Knowledge of these principles is not enough. We must live them.

Quote of the Week
In three words I can sum up everything that I learned in life:
It goes on!
Robert Frost
Weekly Newsletter Article
Life Goes On!
Robert Frost was a prolific Poet and four-time Pulitzer Prize winner as well as many other awards. His poem “The Road Not Taken” had a profound impact on my personal life.
On his 80th birthday he was asked, “In all your years and in all your travels what do think is the most important thing that you learned about life?” His concise answer shocked many people. He said, “It goes on!”
Robert Frost’s personal life knew much tragedy. He lost both his parents at an early age. Four of his six children died before he did, including his wife.
He knew much about pain and sorrow.
He found beauty and inspiration in nature. He eloquently conveyed that beauty through his poems. He inspired many to take a chance on life no matter their present situation.
Many things appear to be falling apart in the world that we presently live. Wars, poverty, homelessness and fear are experiences that seem to be everyday occurrences. AND Life Goes On!
Many religions have celebrated numerous holidays during the past weeks. The focal point of each is that life is constantly changing and renewing itself. Our charge is to be open and receptive to that renewal.
We do this by treating each other as we would wish to be treated. Every traditional religion has this same Golden Rule. Apparently, most people have forgotten to practice this rule.
The Human Race can come through just about anything that is set before us. It simply requires cooperation, compassion and willingness to change.
This is A Road That Has Not Been Taken for decades now.
It is always our choice. But, remember, With or Without the Human Race;
Life Goes On!
Peace & Richest Blessings Always,
Reverend James Daly
