Our yearly Spiritual Discernment is reflected in our activities, within our services each Sunday, and within the diverse groups that meet in circle throughout our community.
The Universal Worship celebrates the essential unity of all religions. We light lamps and offer prayers to honor all traditions and invoke the messengers of God, known and unknown, who have appeared in all times and all places to serve and enlighten humanity. We allow this one message to enter our lives and change our being.A beautiful deepening experience within the Universal Worship includes readings from the world’s diverse religious and spiritual traditions. See scripture selections for each month here. For September go here. We read specific prayers during the Universal Worship ritual and invite all to read along.
You may download a copy of the prayers here.
