With grateful hearts, we invite you to celebrate one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

Ordination marks the culmination of years of study, spiritual practice, service, and deep listening to Spirit’s call. And while this is most certainly a sacred milestone, we also intend to CELEBRATE!

We are thrilled to welcome Rev. Deborah Johnson as our keynote speaker, bringing her extraordinary wisdom, heart, and spiritual presence to the day.

And there will be MUSIC! 🎶 We are delighted to have the incomparable Gary Lynn Floyd and Rev. Andy Anderson as our guest musicians, helping us fill the room with joy, inspiration, and probably more than a little Spirit.

The ceremony will include a beautiful procession of ministers and practitioners, music, ritual, reflection, laughter, and the sacred moment of ordination itself.

And because no good celebration should send anyone home hungry, Cathy and Clyde Kluppenger will be catering a delicious Southern-style BBQ feast for us afterward.

So yes, it’s an ordination. But it’s also a PARTY! 🥳

Great music. Sacred ceremony. Beloved community. Tasty food. And a whole lot of love.

Whether you join us in person or from afar via YouTube livestream, your presence, prayers, and love will make this day even more meaningful.

We would be absolutely delighted to celebrate with you as we step into this new chapter of ministry.

11 AM Soul Connection
Speaking this Sunday: Rev Lynda Lundry-Starr
This week’s topic: “Breathing Room for the Soul”

In a world that often feels rushed, noisy, and full of competing demands, one of the most loving things we can do for ourselves is to create space for the soul to breathe. Not simply a break from activity, but a deeper spaciousness within our own awareness.

Ernest Holmes taught that we are never separate from the Infinite Life. Yet our thoughts can become so crowded with worry, obligation, and distraction that we lose sight of the Presence that is always here. Spiritual spaciousness begins when we consciously release some of that mental congestion and become willing to rest in the truth of our being.

In moments of stillness, we remember that life is not something happening to us, but something expressing through us. The pause allows us to move beyond reaction and return to conscious co-creation with Spirit. It is here that clarity emerges, peace settles in, and renewed possibility takes shape.

Spaciousness is not emptiness; it is fertile ground. When we allow ourselves room to breathe, we realign with the One Life that sustains us. We discover again that every breath carries the presence of the Divine, guiding us gently toward greater freedom, wisdom, and grace.

Join us this Sunday. You are welcome here.

OG WEDNESDAY AT THE LIGHT HOUSE
September: New Breath of Life
Wednesday nights are becoming a place to experience spirituality, not just talk about it. Join us at 6 PM for a different opportunity each week to breathe, create, move, connect, and make a little more room for Spirit.

SEPTEMBER 2 • MAKE SOME ROOM
What are you carrying that you’re ready to put down? Meditation, journaling, conversation, and a simple release practice to create some breathing room for your soul.

SEPTEMBER 9 • VISION CARDS: WHAT WANTS TO EMERGE?
An evening of intuitive creativity. Using images, words, color, and intuition, we’ll create personal vision cards exploring what wants to come alive in us next. No artistic ability required!

SEPTEMBER 16 • BURN IT. BLESS IT. BEGIN AGAIN.
A sacred evening of release and renewal. Through meditation, ritual, and intention, we’ll let go of what has grown heavy and make room for something new.

SEPTEMBER 23 • MOVE YOUR ENERGY
Get out of your head and into your body! Gentle chakra-inspired movement, great music, meditation, and an opportunity to walk the labyrinth (weather permitting). Come exactly as you are. Move exactly as you are.

SEPTEMBER 30 • BREATHE AGAIN WITH JESSE
He’s back! After an incredible August gathering, Jesse Sanchez returns to guide us through another gentle breathwork and meditation experience. Bring a yoga mat if you’d like to sit or lie on the floor.

Every Wednesday • 6 PM • The Light House
Come for one. Come for all. Bring a friend.
