Click Play to see Pastor Jamie preview this week's Message.

So often we view life as what will one day be. Soon I'll have enough money for . . . if only I had enough time to . . . when I move to . . then I will . . . We spend so much time thinking about what could be, and what isn't, that we miss what is. Life is a journey. It is a process. Our journey is filled with adventure, boredom, tragedy - it is a story finding its way through life. Every church has its own journey. Our journey is painted with texture.

Hopefully, you will get a feel for who we are as a community by navigating this site. Please let us know if there is a way we can serve you.

Embracing the journey.

The following is a supplement, or "deleted scene" from our Pastor's message in our previous Gathering.

God graduates his benefits according to the condition and capacity of the recipients. In the first boon of his good-will is the earnest of what he will continue to bestow on those who continue to walk in his ways.

And as the present is the womb of the future, so is the external the symbol of the internal, the material the shadow of the spiritual, in the order of the divine blessing.

And as events unfold themselves in the history of man and conception in his soul within, so are doctrines gradually opened up in the Word of God, and progressively revealed to the soul by the Spirit of God. –

James G. Murphy

Awareness - Anthony De Mello

You will not notice a change in your immediate suroundings, much less in this world, until you begin the process of changing yourself. How? "Through observation. Through understanding. With no interference or judgement on your part. Because what you judge you cannot understand." In a world of disillusion, labels, assumptions and opinions that only prompt conclusions, not life-change, De Mello calls us to one thing: Wake up!... "Would you rather act and not be aware of your actions, talk and not be aware of your words? Listen to people and not be aware of what you're hearing, or see things and not be aware of what you are looking at? The great Socrates said, 'The unaware life is not worth living.' That's a self-evident truth." Reality does not exist within formulas and systems, although they have their place, it is in the world all around us.
