December 2018 Schedule
December is a month we celebrate the birth of Jesus. In Religious Science/New Thought, we do not exclusively celebrate the birth of the man but expand our celebration to the birth of the cosmic Christ in all of us, using the man as our Master Teacher. This month, we celebrate what it means to live from a place of Cosmic Consciousness.
December 2, 2018 – “Putting on the Christ”
- In the Science of Mind Textbook, Ernest Holmes write, “Christ is a Universal idea, and each one ‘puts on the Christ’ to the degree that he surrenders a limited sense of Life to the Divine Realization of wholeness and unity with Good, Spirit, God.” Today we “put on the Christ” through surrender of limitation and acceptance of Truth. Let’s celebrate!
December 9, 2018 – “Heeding the Cosmic Urge”
- The Cosmic Urge has been described as the desire of Spirit to express Itself. That Urge manifests itself in the macrocosm as the creation of Universes and all that inhabit them and in the microcosm as the creation of our unique, individual lives. How are you heeding the Cosmic Urge in your life? Today we will celebrate ways to say ‘yes’ to it and explore ways you may expand.
December 16, 2018 – “Earthly Symbols with Cosmic Meaning”
- The trappings of the season are everywhere, from Menorahs to lights on a Christmas tree. Today, we celebrate the cosmic meaning behind a few of the symbols of the season, realizing that each one can be a tool to support our expansion into Cosmic Consciousness.
December 23, 2018 – “The Celebration Continues”
- Christmas Day is just a couple of days away. The holiday parties continue, food has been eaten, gifts have been opened and the festivities continue. And the celebration continues as we deepen into our Cosmic Consciousness in a variety of unique and perfect ways.

November 2018 Schedule
November Theme: “Living in the Land of Milk & Honey”
- This month we delve into the idea of Living in the Land of Milk and Honey, which is the land that was promised to the Israelites when they were enslaved in Egypt (Exodus 3:7-8): “And the Lord said [to Moses at the burning bush] I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I have come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land and to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” This month, using Moses and the experiences of the Israelites as our examples, we will explore the consciousness required to live in our own personal land of milk and honey.
Sunday, November 4 – “The Power of the Great I AM”
- Moses spent three significant periods in his life, each deepening his consciousness of abundance and flow. Within the second period, he learned the Power of the Great I Am. Today, we will apply these three periods of growth to our lives and discover for ourselves the power of the Great I Am.
Sunday, November 11 – “Crossing the Red Sea and Gathering Manna”
- In moving from bondage to freedom, the Israelites needed to cross the Red Sea and have enough food and water to sustain them on their journey, should they make it across. In the physical realm, it was impossible to cross such a vast sea and equally impossible to bring along enough sustenance. Yet, they did cross the Red Sea and they had plenty of food and water. Today, we reveal the profound abundance promises found in these two “miracles.”
Sunday, November 18 – “Your Secret Weapons for Prosperity”
- Your secret weapons for prosperity are symbolized in two incidents in Moses’ life in the desert. From these two events, we can learn how to quickly claim our good even in the face of opposition and even in the midst of hard conditions. Today, these secret weapons will become yours.
Sunday, November 25 – “The Prosperity Laws of Opulence”
- Moses learned three prosperity Laws of Opulence when he was a prince in the Court of Pharaoh. This knowledge enabled him to provide lavishly for his followers over 40 years in the wilderness. By following these prosperity Laws, you too can be lavishly provided for.
February 2018 Schedule
February Theme: “Getting to the Heart of the Matter”
Sunday, February 4 – “The Heart of Your Dreams”
- At SACSL, we talk about bringing our dreams into fruition a lot. Today, we will talk about them again, but with a slightly different twist. Be sure to be with us for that twist and you may actually receive hearts, flowers, and candy!
Sunday, February 11 – “Realigning Your Heart”
- It is time for a heart-to-heart talk! Sometimes we talk a good game about wanting to bring our dreams from incubation to manifestation, but then time goes by, years go by, and they are still sitting on the shelf. What’s up with that? Today we take a hard look at that question, without blame or judgement, but with an eye toward realigning our hearts with our hearts’ desires.
Sunday, February 18 – “The Heart of Love”
- News commentator, author, and social activist Van Jones once said, “When it’s hard to love, love harder.” Doing that is high and holy work, that’s for sure. But what could be more important: Today, we get to the heart of love by looking at how we can “love harder’ in some very real and tangible ways.
Sunday, February 25 – “The Heart of Healing”
- We often say that there is nothing to heal only our wholeness to reveal. In a unique and powerful service, we will each have an opportunity to touch the heart of wholeness within us and call it forth in deep and meaningful ways. This is a service you won’t want to miss.
January 2018 Schedule
January Theme: “Awakening to Life”
Sunday, January 7 – “The Four Kingdom’s of Awakening”
Sunday, January 14 – “Awaken My Heart to Grace”
- God’s Grace may mean something different for everyone of us. Today, you will have an opportunity to awaken to your personal definition of this concept and then to move it out of the concept stage into an active, awakened experience in your life. It is through God’s Grace that we experience a life of beauty and wonder.
Sunday, January 21 – “Staying Awaken While Navigating the Wake”
- It is an absolute Truth that Spirit intends for us to live a life of beauty and wonder. And it is also a human experience that, at times, we feel like we are living in the wake of pain, upset, challenges, and strife. At those times, we might just want to pull the covers over our heads and go back to sleep. But the true beauty comes when we stay awake even in the middle of the wakes of life!
Sunday, January 28 – “Claiming Our Awakened Presence”
- As we bring our exploration of an awakened life to a close, this morning we will each have an opportunity to make a proclamation as we individually and collectively claim our places as awakening beings!

November Theme: “Abundant Living as a Way of Life”
Sunday, Nov 5 – “The Key to it All”

Sunday, Nov 12 – “You are the Inlet and the Outlet”
- We have a saying in our New Thought teachings: “God can only do for us what God can do through us.” No truer words have been spoken. Therefore, we are both an inlet and an outlet for the Divine and for all aspects of the Divine, including this thing we call abundant living. How wide are your inlet and outlet pipes?
Sunday, Nov 19 – “Rich in Ideas, Rich in Life”
- It has been said that ideas are God’s first currency. Fillmore writes in “Prosperity,” that “our rich ideas will keep us in constant touch with abundance.” what does it mean to trade in the currency of ideas? Come today as we explore this profound idea!
Sunday, Nov 26 – “Let God Pay Your Debt”
- If this title intrigued you, then it served its purpose. As we bring this impactful month to a close, we look at the power, the significance and the seeming magic behind the idea of letting God pay our debts.
October 2017 Schedule
October Theme: “Intentional Creation”
Sunday, Oct. 1 – “What Station Are You Tuned Into?”
- We are always tuned into one of three internal radio stations. Two of them weaken the process and definitely bog down the progress of intentional creation. The other one enhances the process and expedites the progress. Join us and find out which one you are tuned into.
Sunday, Oct 8 – “What Stops You in Your Tracks?”
- The profound and eye-opening answer to that question is… your “upper limit.” What is an “upper limit?” It is the unconscious ceiling we put on our ability to truly reach for what we desire. When our upper limit kicks in, we squash our process and our progress of intentional creation. Come learn the various ways in which our “upper limit” stops us in our tracks, so that we can break free from it….
Sunday, Oct.15 – “Or, Is It a ‘Safe Problem’?”
- Creating something amazing isn’t necessarily easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it! But to live from God, as God, to God, it is our spiritual imperative that we be in the process of and making progress on our intentional creations. So, perhaps you have raised your ‘upper limit,’ but still aren’t feeling the joy… you might be really good at creating ‘safe problems.’
Sunday, Oct. 22 – “Standing at the Green Growing Edge of our Becoming”
- Hildegard von Bingen, the 16th century Christian mystic, spoke about “the green growing edge of our becoming,” referring to how we are all meant to grow in our awareness and in our inner knowing as expanding beings. As we continue our month of exploring the idea of intentional creation, we will bump up against that edge and expand it out a couple of feet.
Sunday, Oct 29 – “Intentional Creation In Action”
- We have spent the past four weeks deeply exploring and beginning to understand and release barriers and blocks to our intentional creative expression. Today we look at a three-prong approach to kicking our creative juices into gear, and we celebrate ourselves as creative beings.

Theme for March Talks: Bridging the Gap
Our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes wrote: “Let us feel that our purposes are animated and inspired from on high and then let us go forth and make our dream come true in human experience.” These are inspiring words, but accomplishing this requires bridging the gap between incubating the idea and manifesting the dream. Sometimes that gap can be scary, and yet what we do inside it can make all the difference in the world. This month we learn how to bridge that gap.
March 5, 2017 ~ “Taking the Leap of Faith”
- What dream has been nudging at your heart that hasn’t yet been put in the incubator? And if it hasn’t been put there, why not?

March 12, 2017 ~ “Building the Bridge”
