Sunday Celebration Service for May 31, 2026 at 10 AM @ Southgate Masonic Hall in Burien.

"Love God and Love People" with Buffee Finkel

This Sunday we will explore how spiritual growth begins with a willingness to deepen our belief in the goodness and presence of God—and to recognize that same divinity in ourselves and others. We will consider the challenge of releasing old stories of limitation, embracing our own worth, and choosing love as a practice, especially in difficult times, and the healing power of community: when we gather, support one another, and remember our oneness, we become more able to love boldly, live authentically, and help create meaningful change in the world.

Talk: "Communal Uncertainty" with Rev. James Tierney

~I recognize my doubt as holy and productive.~

After weeks of exploring Divine Doubt, how will we apply this work to our communities? This week, we will look at using our doubts to engage with wonder and curiosity as we continue to build webs of love and respect in CSL. As a community, both in individual communities and in the worldwide organization, what doubts or uncertainties does CSL express? What do we hide? What doubts and uncertainties might our organization address for the good of all?

Musical Guests: Chris Sullivan and James Cochran

I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to deepen their spiritual practice by expanding their understanding of inclusion and belonging, that will fully help us embody our oneness, and shared global vision for our world.

Talk: Carrying Our Doubt Together with Rev. James Tierney

~I share the power and potential of collective curiosity.~

We continue to explore Divine Doubt this month by turning to the collective inner experience, the doubts which we share amongst one another as part of our shared unconscious. What power and possibility lie in our collective doubts? If we revisit doubt as an avenue to faith and curiosity, what transformations can sharing and exploring doubt bring?

Debuting the Doubting Self with Rev. James Tierney

~I share all parts of myself, including my doubt, with grace.~

What would happen if I debuted my doubting self the way I share my confident self? How might my life and relationships change? As we dive deeper into Divine Doubt, this week we will consider the ramifications of sharing our personal doubts together and creating communities that hold space for these questioning moments.

Musical Guests: Becky and Matt

Genesis's own Karen L. Williams, RScP is speaking this Sunday! Don't miss it!

All Is Necessary

Being Vulnerable - Surrender is not defeat—it is release. Every time we let go, something essential is revealed. It is revealed when we allow room for vulnerability, when we surrender, set aside the ego, and stop trying to control. Instead, we know that the Law brings the right action and proper results. In this way, we let go of the lesser to know the Greater is expressing in our lives.
