THIS WEEK'S TALK BY REV. GREGORY FISHER "The Real Figures of Speech" Communication can be both the bridge and the barrier. Finding and speaking our truth with compassion remains the challenge. Gregory Fisher became a licensed Science of Mind practitioner in 2001 and an ordained minister through the Universal Brotherhood Movement in 2009. He holds bachelor’s degrees in both communication and divinity, and a master’s degree in social work. Learn more at gregoryfisher.life.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT REV. LAURA LANDRESS, RScP  I know there is one loving, eternal and infinite mind of God. This Spirit, God, is at the center of my being and is the light and power of my life. The power of God within me is all knowing and expresses through me as wisdom and knowledge of my next exact steps. I am never alone for God is the source of my life and being and I can depend on this power within me always. God loves me unconditionally for I am its beloved creation. I release all fear of the future knowing that Spirit, God within me is constantly informing me of my next steps. I take action turning away from fear and trusting the power of God to take care of me. I am confident, knowing I am fully supported in my life by God. I give great thanks for this knowing. I release this my word knowing it is true as I speak it, And So It Is!
