THIS WEEK'S TALK BY

REV. CATH DEPALMA



"Making Love Be Our Only Decision"

"How can we live in greater alignment with Spirit and turn every situation and experience into something more? We can remember who we are and what we have come here to be. As we align ourselves with Love, we can’t help but grow, expand, and flourish. It is time!" - Rev. Cath DePalma

For the past 7 years, Rev. Cath has helped communities move through transition as an Interim Minister for Centers for Spiritual Living. She has authored 2 books with a 3rd one on the way: I Do My Best Work Behind the Scenes. Previously, she served as Co-Director of Central Florida CSL, (Orlando), with her husband, John, for 26 years. Currently she lives in Kelowna, British Columbia with her husband, enjoying the great Northwest.

Please help us welcome, Rev. Cath.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

 Dr. Elaine Benson, RScP

I know that there is only one, one power, one love, and one creative, divine intelligence that I call God. And I know deep in my heart that I am one with

the Divine Source. This knowledge brings me gratitude, a sense of wholeness, and a feeling of oneness in this world. Because of this knowledge, I am a peaceful being that is aware of all of my gifts from God. I experience a sense of safety in this world every day. This is a gift from above. I feel love for every person that I come into contact with and it provides me with a sense of welcoming to everyone whose path I cross. I am full of love and happiness that comes directly from this incredible connection I experience with Source each day. It is with love and gratitude that I release my word into the law of mind. It is so and so it is.
