I learn that life is not a dress rehearsal. Today, allow me to mirror a clear view of kind, patient and giving hue. Help me leave an improved image of the world in those I meet. Help me start my day Your way, reflecting a portion of Your love.

If you couldn't be with us on Sunday and want to know what you missed, just click below to hear Dr. Anwyl's Sunday Message. Earlier messages can be found on the Spiritual Growth page.
Dr Anwyl Sunday May 20th - "And What Did Mary Magdalene Say?"
Oh Mother of Mine - May 13th, Mother's Day
The world needs mothers to demonstrate love, kindness, and compassion. It is also important they teach their children the importance of equality, which was lost when the early Church designated women as perpetrators of the original sin, a concept not completely abandoned even now. Mothers are to be celebrated and one's actions showing love and equality is the best manner in which to honor her.

Who is your parachute? - May 6th
We rely on those we know to be our support, to be our parachutes when we need help, but it can be the random acts of kindness that one might encounter in the line at Starbucks, or alongside a car on the freeway that impact our lives even more. Every day presents an opportunity to make a difference, to make a friend, to pack someone's parachute as they unknowingly pass you by, as you pass it forward.
