We Now Offer Two Music-Filled Sunday Celebrations!
First, at 9:00 am and Second, at 10:45 am
Universal Spirit Center, a Global Heart Community
We are a Science of Mind spiritual community exploring the wisdom in all spiritual traditions to enhance our own spiritual evolution and that of the planet. By embracing the diversity in all of life, we recognize the divine presence in all beings. We seek to remember that we, along with all creatures, are expressions of Spirit and that love is always the deepest truth between us.
Come join us in reaching our fullest potential through the realizations of these truths!
What is Universal Spirit?
Universal Spirit is the Presence our ancestors felt as they worshiped the Sun and Moon. It is the tenderness of the Goddess and the sound of the Great Spirit the Native Americans heard in the winds. It is the enlightenment Buddha discovered in his own being and the fertility of the earth honored by the pagans. It is the energy of the Tao or the glories streaming through Lord Krishna. Universal Spirit is the presence of Christ, it is Yahweh who called forth Abraham and led Moses, and Allah calling Mohammed. It is the beauty and the power of the Universe. It is the void and totality of all. Universal Spirit is the experience of love and awakening and empowerment.
Universal Spirit claims no culture or messiah or religion as its own but expresses as all religions and sages claiming compassion and peace. Finding its most profound expression within the center of each being, Universal Spirit evolves as we awaken to It.
This Universal Spirit moves us into the global community, calling us to love and serve all.
Our center is the place where we journey from an individual experience of Spirit to the evolution of Universal Spirit as it expresses and expands and awakens in the presence of community. The center of our community is Universal Spirit.
We are Universal Spirit Center, a Global Heart Community.
Our theme for 2009:
"Spiritual Evolution: The Call!"
As we enter a new year, I take pause to appreciate our growing spiritual community. Many talented and
With a new leadership model based on our collective wisdom and consensus, new by-laws, a new budget, the spiritual insights and practices of the World's Spiritualities we've explored, and filled with the Presence and Love of God, we stand together with open hearts and minds to greet the new year.
With all our new experiences and endeavors of being together, there remains one constant: we are a place where individuals come and awaken to the magnificence within and surrounding us!
Yet, as we consider the global community this past year, we observe breakdown, loss, war, greed, confusion and fear. We are presented with a choice: continue in the fear, creating more of the same, or to choose love, realizing that what we are experiencing is simply a falling away of what was created from a lesser consciousness.
When we choose love over fear we feel in our bodies, hear through our ears, see with our eyes, experience in our hearts, and know in our minds there is a call to something more. Something calling out "We are more than this, we are better than this". It is the call of evolution, to grow beyond what has been.

Theme for July:
"Living Beyond our Lives"
The essential call of Science of Mind and Spirit is to activate the full potential of being
which resides within each of us. Maybe another way to put it is to open ourselves to
the evolutionary impulse of the Universe (another name for God). We are channels of
this impulse. Ernest Holmes, the founder of our philosophy, expressed this when he said
"There is a power for good in the Universe and you can use it." During this sacred time
of year when there is the most light and when our nation celebrates independence, we are
invited to open the boundaries and walls that surround our lives to invite in an even greater
experience of the unity and intimacy of Spirit.
In Love,
— Rev. Kevin Bucy

Oneness Blessing
The Oneness Blessings, or Oneness Deeksha as it is also called, is a phenomenon of Grace that creates an opening through which you can experience your true heart's desire directly and fully.
Experienced practitioners give the Oneness Blessing-a transmission of divine energy-by placing their hands on a recipient's head for a few minutes. The effects are cumulative, and can accelerate the awakening of ones consciousness and the flowering of the heart. This is an entirely new paradigm. There is no guru, no teaching, and no practice.
Please join us for this experience of Grace as we meditate together and receive multiple Blessings.
