Thank you to everyone who donated to either our annual toy drive for children in need or our first coat drive for people in need this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Below are the special reading and prayer given at our 2023 Christmas Eve service:
In The Light
You are in the light as He is in the light, for through the Christ Self that lives in you, you radiate the light of truth, love, and immortality. The spirit of divine sonship has blessed you before the beginning of the world.
You are in the light as He is in the light, for Divine Presence is everywhere and His holy effulgence floods your life, your world and your being.
You are in the light as He is in the light, for the truth and love of God have set you free. You are made the ever-radiant sun of righteousness.
You are in the light, and he who is in the light knows no darkness and does not subject himself to sin. God is your light, Christ is your love, and the Spirit of Truth is your power. Through this triple bliss your light shines forever.
You are in the light, and he who is in the light is righteous, free, pure, illumined, and mighty. These are the characteristics of your being and the celestial gems that mark your personality. You are a living fount of eternal radiance, a soul of perfect manifestation.
From you comes the light of life. You radiate the light on your path and enlighten the world. You shed the light of life through your spirituality, thoughts, words and deeds. You are the light that illumines everyone who comes to the world. The Christ Light is the effulgence of your being.
- Hanna Jacob Doumette, “Psalms For Today”
