Some Very Different Perspectives on Easter
Sunday talks with Rev Jim Fuller
March 31 - April 21
Have you ever questioned the traditional Easter stories; stores of sin, sacrifice and vicarious atonement?
Join us as we explore some alternative perspectives on Easter.
Did you know that within the emerging Jewish/Christian communities there were numerous differing positions on Jesus and Easter?
And what about the many conflicting historical details contained in the four Easter stories in the Bible? Recent scholarship and recent discoveries are opening up new and very interesting perspectives.
Alternatively, what might our Easter stories reveal if we looked at them symbolically or metaphysically?
And what about the more recent mystical perspectives on Easter, like those found in A Course In Miracles?
Whether you think you know all about Easter or think it too remote to be relevant life today our Sunday talks in April will inform, inspire and perhaps surprise you.
March 31 - What is the Bible and how was it written? A historically based introduction to "scriptures".
April 7 - The Bible and Easter? Part 1 - The various “histories” of Easter as recorded in the Bible.
April 14 - The Bible and Easter? Part 2 - The mystical and metaphysical messages of Easter.
April 21 - Easter and A Course in Miracles - Jesus’ comments and teachings on Easter from ACIM.

"The Spiritual Life: Do You Get It?"
Sunday, April 28th at 5:30 PM
Special Guest Speaker: Adrian Calabrese, Ph.D.
This message draws our attention to our true belief system. If our lives are not moving along as we would like, we need to ask the questions, "Do I really understand what it means to live a spiritual, God-centric life? Am I in true alignment with my personal spiritual philosophy? Is it demonstrated in my life in physical and meaningful ways? If we have a resounding "yes" answer to all of these questions, we do "get it." But, what if our answer to one or all of them is "no?" This message will get you to the "yes", if that is what you truly desire. At the very least, it just might open your eyes!

Introduction to A Course In Miracles - free
Video, Brief Talk, Q & A
Sunday, May 5th at 6:45 PM
Free 60-minute documentary on how A Course In Miracles was channeled and published.

It includes many beautiful readings from the Course and interviews with key people involved in its publishing. This is not a religious or churchy film. The Course is a mystical or metaphysical teaching.
