This Week's Service September 13, 2026

Sept. 13, 2026: Blessed Are the Peacemakers by Rev. Doti Boon. I chose today's

topic intentionally. I feel we all need some shelter from the current chaos in the world. It is everywhere; it’s what we are reading, hearing, and watching on television: more and more divisiveness. This is not just by the press and newscasters; it is between family members, folks of the same religion, nationality, and race. How do we remain peaceful and keep our light shining?

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say,

and what you do are in harmony.”

It Takes a VILLAGE

with Rev. Doti Boon

WE ARE the freaking VILLAGE.

“It Takes a Village”, that means all of us, you don’t get to turn your back on somebody because they aren’t your kin folk, or don’t think like you, or love somebody you wouldn’t be interested in (anyway), or someone you might be interested in but who isn’t interested in you, or worships a different pile of rocks than you do!

That human being is part of the global human tribe, part of YOUR Tribe, dude, don’t you see…WE are ALL IN IT. The

healers and sick, givers and the takers, humble and arrogant, strong and the weak, the total of this and the total of that.

A visiting minister waxed eloquently during the offertory prayer. "Dear God," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued, but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening carefully for a change!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"

"Create Happiness Right Now. "It is our basic right to be a happy person, happy family, and eventually a happy world. That should be our goal. "

Sept. 20, 2026: Spiritual Clutter by Rev. Doti Boon. I was cleaning my office and ran across a backpack that I used in 1987. It had gum, Roll-aids, a bus token, and loads of receipts stuffed into one small pocket. Why? I asked myself: was I holding on to all of that junk

After sorting and putting things into the To Go, Throw Away, or Keep piles, I realized our lives are pretty much like that. However, instead of “things,” we often treat ideas, philosophies, and even our faith in much the same way.

We all accumulate stuff...spiritual junk...some good stuff, some we need to toss, and other thoughts and ideas we aren’t too sure about – so we put them back in our mental and emotional drawers to be dealt with later.

Our lives become a virtual storage container of unfinished thoughts, incomplete projects, and sometimes dangerous stuff. Old ideas, harmful prejudices, and even downright lies interact and amplify each other! We get a surplus of negative views and unsubstantiated junk from television, Facebook, and even our friends and family.

So, at the end of each day, we have more and more negative accumulations. This clutter happens through a gradual accumulation of seemingly harmless bits and pieces, like old gum, receipts, and bus tokens. Sometimes it could be rules, rituals, and even religion, things that are supposed to keep us safe…but don’t. We unconsciously gather together ideas that are not spiritually profitable for ourselves or anybody else.
