Welcome to the Helena Church of Conscious Living (HCCL)

This Month's Talks

A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER

Sep 6: Breaking Down the Barriers to Love

Rev Dr. Charles Geddes

Every day we have thoughts that are tied into beliefs and untrue stories that we carry forward and that block our true capacity for Love. In what I call "the stream of God-consciousness," only Love can be carried forward. I will share 3 key "blocks" that through spiritual practice we can observe and discard to rise to new purpose in our lives.

Sep 13: Kicking Fear in the Rear

Rev. Orlinda Worthington

Caught up in the frustration of what appears to be so?

It can feel like we're living in fear right now, whether we are conscious of it or not.

We'll talk about some practices to kick fear to the rear of our consciousness and start to see and feel things differently. We'll also explore how to create a new experience that is born out of the ability to see life from more than just the physical reality. And whatever else comes up!

Sep 20: Back to School

Sue Dostal

About the lessons we learn in home school. Sharpen your pencils, the test will follow.

Sep 27: Equanimity, Equilibrium, Equality, and the Equinox

Rev. Jean Sweet

This closing talk will wrap up the September to Remember. Rev. Jean will take you around the world and back again exploring the meaning of important E words.

New Vision Prayer: Invite Our New Minister

In this moment now, I recognize that I AM a conscious living expression of my Source.

My mind is a part of the Mind of God,

which is Intelligent, All-Powerful,

and Infinitely Creative.

I know that my consciousness is an attractive force,
and that all my prayers are answered.

I am so grateful that our spiritual community is blessed with everything that we need

to prosper and thrive.

HCCL is now welcoming the perfect minister into our life and community.

This deeply spiritual light-hearted person is
ready to be adopted and loved, as we open our hearts
to their presence.

I am grateful for the complete demonstration of
our community's co-vision.

I surrender this prayer back into the Mind of God,
knowing it is done.

I am excited for HCCL! And so it is. Amen.

RECYCLING

As we have been sheltering in place, we have had many reminders about how precious our earth is. The hope is that you are buried in recyclable material now. Keep it up! There's always enough room and time to sort everything out. More importantly, we've had time to consider how much plastic we use and how unnecessary much of it is.

Rev. Jean is still saving bottle caps to fuel her big vision. Which ones? Any bottle cap you would throw in the trash, such as vitamin bottle caps, water bottle caps, prescription bottle caps, milk carton caps, you get the idea. Please collect them in a cardboard box and bring the full box to Rev. Jean.

PLEASE DO NOT bring the caps in a plastic bag, as we are eliminating the use of plastic.

Take a moment to thank Dianne Nickman, our "Recycle Queen," who takes our plastic, glass, paper, and cardboard to the transfer station every month.

A Prayer to Humankind

O Humankind, are we not all brothers and sisters,

are we not the grandchildren of the Great Mystery?

Do we not all want to love and be loved, to work

and to play, to sing and dance together?

But we live with fear. Fear that is hate,

fear that is ambition, competition, aggression,

fear that is loneliness, anger, bitterness, cruelty,

fear that is mistrust. envy. greed. vanity. . . and yet

fear is only twisted love, love turned back

upon itself, devouring itself, hating itself,

love that was denied, love that was rejected
. . . and love.

Hear my heart's prayer, O Humankind,
trust in love, don't be afraid. I love you
as I love life, I love myself, please
love me too, love yourself, for perfect love,
as a wise one said, casts out all fear.
If we are to live, there is no other choice,
for love is life believing in itself.
