This Sunday in the Sanctuary~ November 28, 2021

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT for Our Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Title: “Navigating Desire: Is Waking Up What You Truly Want?”

Description: Rev. Jacquelyn will discuss how looking at what we truly want right now helps us see and resolve conflicting desires that keep us from realizing Self. Earnest investigation can “relieve inner conflict—between what you believe you want and what you’re actually doing, between what you ‘should’ work toward and what you actually want. The relief of acknowledging the truth will enable you to see more clearly, and it will equip you—as nothing else can—to make actual progress.”

*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Rev. George Maddox.

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Freedom Practice Sangha

This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights, and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free. This program will be facilitated by Anne Blanchard.

Join us at 5:00 pm ET/ 3:00 pm MT for The Mighty Companions

Revs. Glen Ganaway and Yolanda Mapes, who are interfaith ministers, share a delightful, funny, and inspiring hour of A Course in Miracles. Come join in on the fun, the laughs, and the music while unlearning the ego through the lessons and chapters of ACIM.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for Movie Discussion Group

As Good as It Gets is a 1997 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by James L. Brooks, who co-wrote it with Mark Andrus. Melvin Udall, played by Jack Nicholson is a cranky, bigoted, obsessive-compulsive writer who finds his life turned upside down when neighboring gay artist Simon is hospitalized and his dog is entrusted to Melvin. In addition, Carol, played by Helen Hunt, is the only waitress who will tolerate him must leave work to care for her sick son, making it impossible for Melvin to eat breakfast. We watch the storyline unfold as these characters interact and develop relationships that help to crumble the previous structured world of Melvin, a grumpy author with OCD. And eventually, the unraveling leads to an opening into love.

Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt won the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively, making As Good as It Gets the most recent film to win both of the lead acting awards and the first since 1991’s The Silence of the Lambs. It was also nominated for Best Picture. It is ranked 140th on Empire magazine’s “The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time” list.

You can find this movie on Netflix with a subscription. It’s also available on Amazon Prime, Vudu, and iTunes.

This month’s movie group will be facilitated by Rev. George Maddox
