Spiritual Stimulus Package

Dear Friends,

Please join me this Sunday, August 9th at Church of the Master (122nd & Morningside Avenue, Harlem, NY) at 10:00* am for the regular morning worship service.

The sermon topic is:
An Adventure with the Almighty

Recently, President Obama has been talking about the stimulus package, economic development, health care and a number of other issues that he raised in his campaign that he'd like to see translated into national policy. Let me ask you a question, "Have you taken advantage of your spiritual stimulus package?" As we enter into the last quarter of 2009, now is the ideal time to check in with yourself and introspect on whether you've been open and receptive to all the spiritual stimulus the Spirit freely offers you!

Have you been available to the subtle workings of your inner self? Open to catching the Spirit's vision for your life, even if it's seemingly the smallest details? Since there is no big or small in the mind of God, it is up to each of us to deepen our awareness, our self-witnessing skills, so that we can catch even the subtle ways the Spirit is constantly transmitting hints on ways we must refine our consciousness to reflect it's nature within us.

As an individual expression of a cosmic good, you are in a constant state of unfolding the divine potential within you. This unfoldment is further stimulated by your conscious awareness of it, and even more so, by your application of the spiritual tools of meditation, of affirmative prayer, spiritual study, service and fellowship.

Each and every day we are provided stimulus to cultivate our consciousness. Even amidst the crash of breaking worlds--or economic crisis--that which we are within cannot be taken away. The joy, peace, love, intelligence, bliss, creativity--nothing can diminish our Essential Self. Lean into this truth, affirm it, and above all, practice it.

Remember...God Loves You! And I love you too!

Thought for the week:
For your personal contemplation this week, keep reminding yourself that you are sensitized to a revelation, a quickening of your consciousness throughout the day and you hear and respond to the still, small voice saying "I Am your life, your breath, your very essence."

We are accepting financial contributions to assist Dr. Callender.

If you would like to help us in this effort, we would appreciate it if you would make the checks out to Rev. Eugene S. Callender and send them c/o Lorena Rostig, 1910 Chelsea Park Drive, Germantown, TN, 38139. If you have any questions please call 901-233-0339.
