There's just 1 week until the Legacy Gala! We can't wait!
This Sunday’s talk:
Everything You Wanted to Know About the Science of Mind and Aren't Afraid to Ask!
— Drs. Deborah and Kenn Gordon
“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Curiosity on its own is one of the greatest tools we have. It keeps us open, potentially out of judgement, and keeps us on the path to learning.
Are you a person who always wants to know more? Curiosity has proven to be a driving force behind human ingenuity, creativity and progress. Think about it: most of our endeavours that lead to new things and new discoveries, begin with someone having the willingness to ask the questions and then seek the answers.
Drs. Kenn and Deb will do a question-and-answer session on anything you might like to know about Science of Mind, life or anything that might be on your mind.
You can submit your questions in advance to: revgord@shaw.ca. If there's time, they may also take questions from the floor on Sunday morning.
Join the Gordons and our in-person congregation this Sunday, November 20th at 10:30am PT at Studio 9, 1180 Houghton Road, Kelowna, BC. Doors open at 10:15am. Please visit the event page for more details and a map. Everyone is welcome!
If you are not feeling well, please stay at home and watch us on Facebook Live.
This Week’s Science of Mind Theme
Welcome to Your Dream Home
As spiritual beings having a human experience, our true home is in the realm of Spirit. We come into this human experience as perfect, whole, complete beings, one with the Creator that brought us into being. As we embark on the human journey, we encounter danger and misfortune. We can get lost, forgetting where we came from and the truth of who we are. But the truth never changes. Those who dare to confront the dark cave of their fears are the ones who are transformed. Spiritual heroes are those who remember the truth of who they are and where they come from. When we recognize that truth, we can be at home wherever we may go. We so embody Oneness that others are at home in our presence. We then empower others to remember what it is to be at home and to be the heroes of their own journeys.
The home we long for is the place where we can be our full, true, authentic selves. It’s a place of unconditional love and acceptance, where forgiveness is unnecessary because there is no harm, blame or shame. It’s comfortable and familiar — a place of sanctuary where we can rest, rejuvenate and re-create. We long for the place where we belong wholly (holy) and completely.
The home we long for already exists. It’s not outside of us. No one else can create it for us. Our true home exists within. It’s up to each of us to find the keys within ourselves. We may point out the way for others, but they also must find it for themselves. In the words of Brené Brown, “Once we belong thoroughly to ourselves and believe thoroughly in ourselves, true belonging is ours.”
The power is ours to return to the place we long for... whenever we choose.
“Evolution is the awakening of the soul
to a recognition of its unity with the Whole.”
— Ernest Holmes
A New World. A New Way.

While Rev. Barb Samuel was with her daughter who was birthing a baby girl into the world, Neal Klassen performed the music for us on his own! Thank you, Neal!

MIND-FULL MOMENT
“Always the Spirit corresponds to our belief in and receptivity to It. Hence there is a power within, to which each may come; a Presence which is Light; a Spirit which is guidance. This is fundamental to the understanding of the Science of Mind. There is a Spirit which knows. This is God. This Spirit which knows, knows us. It corresponds, it responds. It flows through us.”
