In this inspiring lesson, Rev James explores how your emotional state literally shifts your brain’s frequency, moving you from stress and static into flow, clarity, intuition, and purpose. Think of joy not as a reward, but as a tuning fork that raises your vibration and aligns you with the universal field of guidance.

“This Halloween, we go beyond costumes and candy to uncover the light within!” Why do we celebrate Halloween? Long before it was pumpkins and trick-or-treaters, it marked the ancient turning of the seasons; a time to honor the cycle of life, death, and renewal. It’s the moment when nature invites us to release the old (like falling leaves) and welcome the light that never dies. This Sunday, we’ll explore the spiritual roots of Halloween as a metaphor for awakening – moving from fear to faith, from darkness to illumination. Together, we’ll celebrate how courage, authenticity, and divine light guide us through every shadow. Expect uplifting music, laughter, and reflection.

Halloween reminds us that we all wear masks – roles, expectations, and old defenses. In this lesson we practice removing them with compassion and humor, revealing the radiant truth beneath. When we stop pretending and start expressing our authentic selves, we free others to do the same. Contemplate this: I AM authentic, whole, and free. The real me is the light of God in action.

In this lesson, we dive into the sacred power of imagination, which is the creative faculty through which Spirit paints the possibilities of our lives. To live as a visionary means to look beyond appearances, to see with the eyes of faith, and to hold an inspired image of what can be, even when the world says otherwise. Together, we’ll explore how to use imagination not as fantasy, but as a tool of transformation aligning our thoughts with divine ideas to call forth new realities of empowerment and well-being. Contemplate this: I AM a visionary. I see with the eyes of Spirit and imagine my world made new.

As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn, we enter a season of change, reflection, and celebration. Halloween reminds us of costumes and masks, but also invites us to go deeper. What masks do we wear? What fears do we face? How do we shine our inner light in a world that sometimes feels shadowed? We kick off our 4-week empowering journey through October with “Facing Your Fears”! Fear often looks scarier than it really is – like a ghost in the dark that vanishes when the light shines. This week we’ll explore how fear can be transformed into courage and resilience. Through inspiring stories of individuals who overcame fear, practical hacks for calming anxiety, and a playful look at Halloween’s “spooky” side, we’ll remember that: “I AM strong. I AM free. Fear has no hold on me.”

 Rev. Karen explores how to loosen the grip of self-doubt and trust what opens for us – the field of love. Together, we’ll learn to listen from the heart, where truth lives and fear fades. We remember who we are and discover that our authentic self is a natural expression of joy.

Prayer is not timid; it is a bold declaration of Truth. When we pray boldly, we step into the flow of divine authority and speak words that shape our reality with clarity and conviction. “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.” – Job 22:28 Charles Fillmore reminds us: “Prayer is not supplication (pleading or begging), but an affirmation of Truth.” Rev James will explore how to move beyond  hesitation and fear and claim with confidence the infinite good God has already provided. Bold prayer transforms not only our words but our lives.

Are you waiting for a sign? A burning bush? A parting sea? What if the miraculous isn’t a rare event you have to wait for, but a constant invitation to see the world with new eyes? Rev Leah explores how to move beyond waiting for dramatic interventions and instead discover the divine wonder hidden in plain sight – from a simple glass of water to the challenges we face every day. We will learn practical ways to: Shift our perception from ordinary to extraordinary. Cultivate a sense of awe and wonder in daily life. Find peace by recognizing the constant presence of the Divine right here, right now. You won’t look at your everyday life the same way again. Come ready to have your vision expanded and your spirit lifted. Miracles are natural.

When many people think of prayer, they think of words spoken in quiet moments -requests, affirmations, or gratitude offered to Spirit. But what if the real power of prayer begins after we rise from our meditation chair? In this lesson, we explore what it means to live the prayer. Affirmative prayer is not just about aligning our thoughts with Divine Truth, it’s about allowing those thoughts to transform our choices, our habits, and our way of being in the world. Every step, every conversation, every act of kindness becomes the living “Amen.” Prayer doesn’t stop with words; it becomes real when it flows through us as love, peace, forgiveness, and generosity. “Faith without works is dead.” James 2:17 “To give and receive are one in truth.” A Course In Miracles

Words carry power, but only when we speak them with conviction! This week in our Pray Big series, we’ll explore how bold affirmations move energy, shift circumstances, and amplify Spirit’s work in our lives. In this lesson, we learn to pray with authority, declare Truth with confidence, and “speak it like we mean it.” Are you ready to be uplifted, inspired, and reminded of the power of your voice? “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.”Job 22:28 “I am sustained by the Love of God.” A Course In Miracles
