October 1 – Adventure in Faith Week 1
God is My Source Spiritually – Reverend Rebecca Galati
“Prayer, as Jesus Christ understood and used it, is communion with God…This communion is an attitude of mind and heart that lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the source of every good and perfect thing, and the substance that supplies all [our] needs—whether they are spiritual needs, social needs, mental needs, physical needs, or needs of a financial nature.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Prayer”
“and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
October 8 – Adventure In Faith Week 2
God is My Source Mentally – Reverend Rebecca Galati
“We have a very decided part; we are to cease worrying, and being anxious, and thinking and speaking of the past and of the apparent lack and idleness. We are to concentrate all our attention upon the Truth of God, and the truth of our own being, upon the very things we would see taking place in our life. We cannot do this so long as we have negative thoughts in our heart.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Prayer”
“Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” Matthew 7:17
October 15 – Adventure In Faith Week 3
God is My Source Physically – Reverend Rebecca Galati
“Whatever the cause of the appearance of negation, turning the attention Godward, with willingness to look into all phases of daily living and to make such adjustments as are wise and loving toward the body, will quickly relieve all strain and congestion and allow the free flow of life to renew nerves and structures.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Understanding the Body”
“Or know you not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God?” 1 Corinthians 6:19
October 22 – Adventure In Faith Week 4
God Is My Source in My Relationships – Reverend Rebecca Galati
“Think of God as everywhere present light, and love, and peace, and power, and life. Think of all men, all women, all children as ever abiding in His presence and expressing His qualities. As you do this, you will touch the reality of individuals, and you will invite only the best from them. Spirit will respond as you expect it to, for the Spirit of God is in each and every person.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Helping Others”
“Owe no man anything, save to love one another…” Romans 13:8
October 29 – Adventure In Faith Week 5
God Is My Source in Community – Lori Petrozino, Ministerial Candidate
“There are matters of universal importance to be considered; and we consider that this body, which has drawn together in a spirit of love and desire to serve, is best able to see and decide and do that which is for the ultimate and highest good of all concerned. Consecration to Truth is one necessary phase of spiritual development. The ability to make practical use of the law is another necessary phase of development.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Our Methods”
“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them… Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” Romans 12:6,10 ESV
November 5 – Adventure In Faith Week 6
God Is My Source Creatively – Lori Petrozino, Ministerial Candidate
“We are God’s children. But we are also His brain power, and His hands, and His voice: it is through us that God expresses His ideas, His blessings, and brings forth the unmanifest good in the forms in which we use it. Understanding this gives one a much better attitude toward work and makes one confident that one can and will have plenty to do and will receive compensation for it.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Our Work”
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
November 12 – Adventure In Faith Week 7
God Is My Source of Prosperity – Reverend Rebecca Galati
“As we pray, the word of life is going down into us, breaking up old, fixed beliefs and reorganizing our life. The word of life—life as God has planned it—is taking hold of our subconsciousness, and we know that we are free and will begin to use our freedom. Working in the consciousness of freedom, we will be happy and well and busy and prosperous. But our attention will be upon what we are doing rather than upon outer results. The results will take care of themselves once we have started our foundation in Truth.”
Myrtle Fillmore – Letters of Myrtle Fillmore, “Prayer”
“Jesus looking upon them said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.” Mark 10:27
November 19 – Gratitude, A Season For A Lifetime
Lori Petrozino, Ministerial Candidate
It has been said that giving thanks is a powerful instrument to use during prayer and as a daily practice. Why is gratitude considered to be a powerful spiritual tool, and do we continue to be grateful when our prayers appear to not be answered? Let’s explore the practice of gratitude in preparation for the season of Thanksgiving.
“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
November 26 – A Season of Harvest
Reverend Rebecca Galati
Autumn is a season of harvest, a season of transformation as we reap what we sow and enjoy the fruits of our work. Let’s explore the metaphysics of what harvesting looks like and how we get there.
“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matthew 13:30
