Our mission is: To celebrate
oneness, transform ourselves, and radiate love in the world.
Our vision is: Centered in God,
we co-create a world that works for all.
Sunday’s lesson is
“The
Victory in Defeat”
When
the battles are all behind us, and the sacrifices have all been made, what’s left is both an epic final battle – and a quiet
surrender to the inevitable, unconquerable Power of Love.
