Advent Week 3: JOY
"How Good It Is!"
11 am, Dr. Tracy Brown, RScP
Guest Speaker
Sanctuary & Livestream
Marianne Williamson wrote, “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Tracy Brown is back to remind us this season of holidays and holy days gives us multiple opportunities to notice and to expand the good in our lives. Let’s choose joy as a grounding principle in our lives, during the holiday season and throughout the year.

About Dr. Tracy:
Guided by Spirit. Groomed to serve. Glazed in the fire of business. Generous with her time and talents. Grown through prayer. This is Tracy Brown.
Since 1986, when Dr. Tracy was introduced to New Thought by Dr. Donald Curtis, she has used universal spiritual principles to infuse her life with peace and joy. She is the host of “The Inclusive Church” on the New Thought Media Network, where she is also part of the team that produces the Saturday Science of Mind Conversation Series.
Tracy is an author, speaker and popular teacher and retreat leader throughout the New Thought Movement. Plus, as a licensed spiritual coach, she maintains an active practice focused on helping her coaching clients integrate their mental, physical, financial and spiritual priorities.
Tracy served for six years on the international governing Board for Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL), including three years as Chair. Within CSL she is also a recipient of both The Ernest Holmes Award and an honorary doctorate degree. She continues to contribute to Centers for Spiritual Living by serving on the Board of Directors for both The Science of Mind Foundation and Camp Cedar Ridge.
Outside of CSL, Tracy is the President of Intentional Inclusion Inc. and is recognized nationally as an expert on inclusion in business organizations and professional associations. And to address what leaders in spiritual communities should understand to lay a strong foundation for being inclusive she authored “Stained Glass Spirit: Becoming a Spiritual Community Where Oneness Does Not Require Sameness.”

Advent Week 4: LOVE
"All You Need is Love"
11 am, Rev. Lari Goold
Guest Speaker
Sanctuary & Livestream
It’s no accident that the symbol for love is a heart. Love doesn’t come from the head! Imagine a world where everyone came from the heart first and then used our heads! John Lennon wrote about such a world when he asked us to imagine. Let’s talk about how we can bring that imagination into a real world.
