The Call to Love - Rev. Patti Perhacs
In Matthew it is written, “many are called but few are chosen”, informing us that although all are encouraged, only a small number respond to the call to Love, unity, and spiritual receptivity. Let’s consider the supportive teachings about love, the cry for love in our country, and using the Law of Attraction to create more love for all. We will end with a short exercise on “Expanding Love” inspired by Paramahamsa Yogananda to integrate the consciousness of love throughout th

All Paths Lead to Truth - Rev. Patti Perhacs
Our message will contemplate the profound reward of being spiritually centered in our “holy” self as we walk our path. Regardless of our actions, the Divine Mind, God, is before us, is us. So why do we struggle? Let's reflect on our path and the opportunity to find our way to our center. With each step we take, may we go deeper within, living in the light of truth, in peace. "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, this is the way, walk in it." - Isaiah 30:21 "Divine Mi

Live the Truth You Know - Maryann Hackworth
What truth has been a guiding force in your life this year? We know that our innermost beliefs affect and mold our outer experiences. This begs the question: what do you know and trust? As 2025 draws to a close, let us honestly assess our inner belief system. With loving kindness and spiritual integrity, we can release what is false, and more clearly define our Truth. We may then “enter through the narrow gate” as Jesus advised… “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is

Born of Light - Rev. Patti Perhacs
As we celebrate the season, let us contemplate and rejoice in what it means to be born of Light. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. - 2 Corinthians 3.18 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights. - James 1:17 If we stand steadfastly for truth and righteousness they will prevail and our civiliza

Jesus: The Pattern - Dr. Doug Knueven
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus who became the Christ, it may be helpful to examine the life of the Master. We are told that He came into the world to save us, but save us from what? How did we get into a condition from which we need to be rescued? What can we learn from the life of Jesus that we can apply in our daily lives to help us raise our consciousnesses? Let’s explore the Biblical record as well as the wisdom of the Cayce readings to learn how to live li

Attitude Attitude Attitude!
Attitudes Are Contagious... I’m not sure about you, but I have noticed that there are some people I'd rather be with than others. Primarily, it is due to their attitude. There are people who always seem to have a positive, loving, and kind attitude; they speak words of love and show acts of kindness and generosity, and these attitudes are contagious. I recently read “Attitudes are contagious, is ours worth catching?” I love this because it is true that we should focus on ou

Gratitude & Acceptance
The best-laid plans... Last weekend, I finally visited Newport, R.I. I had wanted to go for years, but it had just never happened. So, I was really excited to finally arrive and eager to explore this charming town. However, as Robert Burns said in a poem, To A Mouse , "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Or as another saying goes , “If you want to make God laugh, tell It your plans.” It was not only raining but also accompanied by lightning and thunder.

However, it is up to each of us as individuals and in community to nurture our spiritual needs . Dr. Kneuven will explore ways to connect with the deeper, non-physical aspects of your being, to foster truly holistic heal

Why Does Evil Exist?
Is God Good? This past Sunday, I led a service at the Unity Center of Pittsburgh called "Stump the Minister." It was an opportunity for people to ask me questions about Unity, spiritual topics, or myself. Some of the questions asked are things many of us wonder about in our own minds. One of those questions was, “If God is good, why is there evil in the world?” My answer then and now is what I believe. I believe that God is good, but human beings are often not. I believe t
