This Sunday in the Sanctuary ~ September 19 , 2021

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT for the Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers

Title: “Unconditional Love is Obtainable”

Description: In his book, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment, Dr. David Hawkins writes, “Unconditional Love is the goal of the majority of spiritually-committed people and especially of serious spiritual devotees and aspirants. … In the world’s overall population, [Unconditional Love] is reached by 0.4 percent of the populace. However, Unconditional Love is a practical and reachable goal and not just an idealized, wishful condition for those who seriously choose it as an inspirational, devotional goal. … In highly motivated, spiritually disciplined groups, approximately fifty to fifty-five percent of the people in the group reach the goal of Unconditional Love… The goal of Unconditional Love is reachable by very simple means, but to bring about results, they have to be lived continually on a daily basis.” In this homily, Regina will look at the “very simple means” that Dr. David Hawkins points to and ask, “How can Awakening Together be one of the ‘highly motivated, spiritually-disciplined groups’ that supports attaining Unconditional Love?

Reading: Yvonne Unger will read NTI 1 Corinthians, Chapters 12 & 13.

*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 – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard

Following the recent Awakening Together online retreats it has become clear that many feel called to dive into intensive follow-up work. While the practice of unearthing and looking directly at our individual beliefs is primarily solitary in nature, we all recognize that the sharing of that work with others who are undergoing the same process can be enormously beneficial and supportive. 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.

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 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for The Guiding Light with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers
