Detaching from Littleness
Rev. Gloria Wells spoke about a very common false belief, the belief in our littleness. Grandiosity is a defense mechanism that hides this belief. Our true Grandeur is denied through the defense of grandiosity and the belief in our littleness.
Kathy Smith read from A Course in Miracles Chapter 9, Grandeur vs Grandiosity.
Lyn Johnson served as Musical Director and Barbara Deurwaarder served as Sanctuary Administrator.
Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert’s topic was : “Perception, Misperception and Mindfulness”. Rev.

Rebecca Gibson read from NTI 1 Peter Chapter 2.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert’s topic today was, “Experiencing Reality / Experiencing the Now”. Rev. Jacquelyn explored the idea that to recognize the gulf between aliveness itself and anything generated by the mind (however “true” it appears to be) is a liberating discovery and the way to come to know what you deeply are.
