Sunday Morning Service - Guest Musician ERIKA LUCKETT

9:15am-9:45am Meditation
10:00am First Celebration Service
11:30am Second Celebration Service

Globally rooted Erika Luckett carves her personal story from a transcontinental upbringing. Born in Mexico with guitar propped against the cradle, Erika began exploring songwriting and music making during a unique childhood that zigzagged across the Venezuelan countrysides, Brazilian rainforests, and South American metropolises. She stretched her imagination and musical palette during an adventurous teenage stint in Paris where her songs and guitar echoed in the underground.

With lyrics that capture the intimacy of our human experience and melodies that make distant lands feel like home, her songs invite the listener into terrain that is both vast and familiar. Trying to describe the feeling of experiencing Erika’s music is like attempting to explain the way the sunrise casts light across birds in flight. Just join us and see for yourself!

Tai Chi with Leon Johnson

Learn to balance the mind, body and spirit in this form of movement that is often referred to as “Meditation in Motion.” Gentle physical exercise and stretching that emphasizes technique over strength. It promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. Originally developed in China as a form of self-defense, tai chi is a graceful form of exercise that has existed for some 2,000 years. Practiced regularly, tai chi can help you reduce stress and enjoy other health benefits such as muscle strength and definition, increased flexibility, energy, stamina and agility as well as an overall increase in well being.

4T Prosperity Class

This is a life changing spiritual program that has been experienced by over 100,000 people during the past 20 years. Students learn to change their thinking and feeling from lack and limitation to that of PROSPERITY and ABUNDANCE. Each student realizes a shift in perspective when he/she realizes there is plenty of time, talent and treasure to give and receive. And this newly found awareness creates a sense of trust that they have the ability to manifest all they long for. During the 12 weeks, each student commits to attend church services and 4T classes weekly, meditate daily on the ideas of prosperity, volunteer for work with his/her church or some other non-profit organization, tithe 10% of his/her income to their church. The participating ministry also commits by guaranteeing that the student will be wholly satisfied; that is, that the student’s life is guaranteed to be more abundant at the end of 12 weeks, or the entire tithe will be refunded, upon request.

"The World Is How You See It" Retreat with the Goldens!

Join us for the powerful retreat experience facilitated by James & Leslie Golden.

Everyone is invited to attend this transformative weekend. The retreat theme this year is "The World Is How You See It."

“Whatever feeling you have within you is the feeling you will project onto the world. Therefore, according to your vision, the world becomes good or bad, pleasurable or painful, a storehouse of happiness or a mine of sorrow. It is your own attitude that bears fruit for you and makes you who you are.” ~Swami Muktananda

Dr. James Golden & Leslie Golden will facilitate this weekend of spiritual practices and renewal.
Cost: $250 if paid before October 12t hand $300 after (meals included)

Give yourself the gift of spiritual retreat and renewal this fall. This will be an opportunity to enter into the gift of the stillness of the moment and share that stillness in a predominantly silent retreat with shared meals, shared service and shared experiences.
The wisdom of Buddhism meets the wisdom of the Toltec and is delivered through the clarity of Religious Science Minister Dr. James Golden and Religious Science Practitioner Leslie Golden.

In addition to over 20 years of experience as a Religious Science Minister, James has also studied with Don Miguel Ruiz & Thich Nhat Han. Leslie shares the foundation of the Religious Science philosophy with her husband James and has also studied with several spiritual teachers including: Eastern Meditation Master: Gurumayi Chidvalasanada of the Siddha Lineage, Don Miguel Ruiz of the Toltec Tradition and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Join James and Leslie and everyone at CPL in making a deeper commitment to your spiritual growth.

Give yourself this gift and walk away with a deeper connection to your spiritual source and your spiritual practices as well as a feeling of peace that circumstances can not shake. To learn more about James and Leslie visit their website by clicking this link
