2026-10-04 The Gateway of Commitment Rev. Kristin Rev. Kristin opens a transformative seven-week journey inspired by Lynn Twist's book Living a Committed Life, inviting the community to discover freedom and fulfillment in a purpose larger than themselves. Through the stories of Buckminster Fuller, Greta Thunberg, Gandhi, Jane Goodall, and Moses at the burning bush, Rev. Kristin reveals how commitment is not a burden but a liberation that transforms, focuses, and connects us. She reminds us that we need not know how our path will unfold, for once we say yes, providence moves and all manner of support arrives. Rev. Kristin encourages each of us to make or renew a heartfelt commitment, speak it aloud, and take one simple action step, trusting that Spirit stands ready to ignite our life of purpose and possibility.
2026-10-11 “What We Stand For” Rev. Kristin In this inspiring message, Rev. Kristin invites us to discover what we stand for, drawing on the wisdom of Lynn Twist's book Living a Committed Life. Rather than adding more to our busy agendas, Rev. Kristin encourages us to focus our energy on a vision of wholeness that truly lights us up, taking a stand and letting committed action flow from there. Through the heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of Ethiopian and New York women who came together across difference, she illustrates how the two sides of hunger - physical need and the longing to contribute - can meet to transform lives. Rev. Kristin reminds us that we need not know the how; by taking one step at a time and trusting Spirit, we can move the earth together.
2026-10-18 Old Story, New Possibilities Rev. Kristin In this uplifting message, Rev. Kristin explores how the stories we tell ourselves can either keep us bound to old pain or open us to new possibility. Drawing on the healing journey of Unity co-founder Myrtle Fillmore, insights from Bruce Lipton's The Biology of Belief, and Lynn Twist's teachings on transformation, Rev. Kristin invites us to shift from believing life happened to us toward recognizing all that has happened for us. With warmth and gentle wisdom, she reminds us that we are each the architect of our own narrative and encourages us to lovingly revise the stories that no longer serve us. Through reflection and affirmation, Rev. Kristin guides us back to our source and the truth of who we are, affirming, "I transform my old story and live into new possibility."
