"Unity, A Quest for Truth" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ May 24, 2026
In this talk, we explore what it truly means to awaken—not as spiritual performers quoting affirmations, but as ever-evolving expressions of the One Presence, continuously opening our hearts and minds to the holy ground of each moment. We remember that we are an unfinished, radiant cathedral of Spirit, invited to stay teachable, free from rigid doctrine, and to let our “imprisoned splendor” shine for the healing and upliftment of the world.

Meditation ⏐ May 24, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
This meditation invites us to walk in beauty—with open hearts and minds—as we remember those who have gone before us, those working for peace now, and those living in fear, while resting in the loving presence of the God of our understanding. We are gently guided to let our love and light become a healing, helping presence in the world, shining through us for the good of all.

"Complexity Within Unity" ⏐ Guest speaker: Jessica ⏐ May 10, 2026
In this talk, we explore how true compassion goes beyond sympathy and empathy by inviting us to care even for those who have hurt us or hold very different values. Through a personal story, we see how curiosity, finding common humanity, shifting from scarcity to abundance, and practicing deep patience help us move beyond the "right vs. wrong" binary narratives into the rich “rainbow” of perspectives within divine Light.

"Even If" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ May 3, 2026
We reflected on the many “Goliaths” in our world—political injustice, reckless behavior, collective fear—and how deeply they can trouble our hearts. Yet we were reminded that we are David, guided by love, called to meet fear, anger, and sadness with radical compassion for ourselves and others, tending the whole being—spirit, soul, and body—as we help create heaven on earth.

Meditation ⏐ May 3, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
This meditation guides us to breathe with the divine, release what we are carrying, and rest in silent presence so we can remember our peace and healing. As we return to the moment, we are invited to notice where in the world our love and light are being called, and to shine them softly and steadily.

"Centered in Peace and Love" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ April 26, 2026
In this talk, we remember that we “make our own world” by choosing our attitudes, returning to love, and catching ourselves gently when ego or fear starts to pull us down. We are invited to follow the Christ consciousness—divine love within us—finding coherence in our hearts through prayer, breath, and awareness so that we become light and love in a divided world. As we center in presence, strength, and life, we trust that our small, steady choices in love raise the vibration and help heal us all.

Meditation ⏐ April 26, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
This meditation guided us to rest our awareness in our hearts, breathe as if our hearts themselves were doing the breathing, and feel our shared love as a healing, sacred life force connected to the heartbeat of God. We remembered that we are the light, the heart, the hands, and the voice of Spirit on Earth, and that who we are and what we do is a blessing to the world.

"There Is Light" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ April 19, 2026
In this talk, we’re reminded that we are the light of the world—not our thoughts or our fears, but the loving awareness that notices them—and that we can “enter Zen from there” in any moment by returning to presence, breath, and stillness. We explore how so-called evil is really the absence of awareness of that inner light, and how choosing love, responsibility, and gratitude—even amid chaos and injustice—helps heal us and lifts the consciousness of the world.

Meditation ⏐ April 19, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
In this meditation, we gather in a shared sacred space of love, light, and power, softening our bodies and hearts as we awaken more deeply to the presence of the God of our own understanding. From this place of stillness and oneness, we let our inner light shine out into the world, holding our community—and all who are calling to us this morning—in gratitude, compassion, and unity.
