Reverend Jay McCormick speaks to us about “A New You Is Born in Forgiveness”.
When I surrender my hatreds and judgments and ‘shoulds’ to God, a new light emerges in my heart. Whatever has blocked me is lifted and my heart opens. When I let go of the opposition and embrace willingness my mind is protected by a loving presence and am safe from all judgement and harm. All that binds me is loosened. Lets join together this gathering and free our heart in love and truth with all.

Jay McCormick talks to us about “What Is The Source of True Knowing?” We all approach this question in a different way, and answer this is different ways, but yet is the true source actually the same for all of us?
