Enter into the sacred silence, the fruitful darkness, the deep that calls unto deep. An hour of meditation, silence, music and prayer.
On the first Wednesday of the month, Prayer and Meditation Service offers a journey into the heart of the Divine, communing in the silence with nourishment for your soul with the rich chants. Be still and know that GOD is present. Renew. Refresh. Remember your spiritual Truth.

We live in a culture that places a lot of attention and advertising dollars on acquiring something. That could mean jobs, relationships, money, power or status. It is wonderful to feel comfortable but it is better to be joyous and fulfilled. That state comes from being connected to self and being clear about how our thoughts and behaviors affect the environment we inhabit. The extraordinary person is awake, available and authentic. That means they are conscious in how they live, respond and express. The truth is, no one is ordinary; everyone has the potential of expressing in a state of the extraordinary. This presentation is for busy people who want to become more conscious and more successful, it is for people who are overwhelmed, overworked and over-committed.
