"Gratitude Is Alive" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ September 20, 2026
In this talk, we remember that we are living in a time of great transformation, and we’re invited to meet it with courage, gratitude, and a shift in attitude—choosing even the smallest turn of heart toward faith instead of fear. We honor our bodies as sacred temples, bless every little cell, and recognize that while we inherit family patterns, we are not bound by them; we can choose a new path rooted in our divine nature. Through simple practices like heart-focused breathing and gratitude in the morning, we let the wisdom of the heart lead us into more joy, healing, and aliveness.

Meditation ⏐ September 20, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
In this meditation, we gently attune to our body and breath, breathing from the heart as we rest in simple, felt gratitude. From that grounded gratitude, we connect with the God of our understanding and extend our light—love, compassion, kindness, and peace—to all people, intending to carry this awareness with us through the day.

"Your Divine Sovereignty" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ September 6, 2026
In this talk, we remember that life may feel like a storm, but we are the calm eye within it—holy, sovereign beings with spiritual authority over how we respond to conflict, fear, and the turbulence of our times. We affirm that nothing and no one is truly against us; the kingdom of God is within, and like the ever-shining sun and the life within the seed, our divine power and wholeness are already present.

Meditation ⏐ September 6, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
In this meditation, we gently return to the wisdom of our own hearts, remembering that the kingdom of heaven is within us and that our breath connects us to the heartbeat of the universe. From this place of inner peace, we listen for our personal guidance and allow ourselves to be catalysts for healing and light in our own lives and in the world.

"Listen to Your Heart Song" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ August 30, 2026
In this talk, we explore what it means to truly “listen to our heart song” instead of living only from our fearful, linear, ego-mind that clings to diagnoses, bad news, and control. We remember that we are powerful, intuitive, multisensory spiritual beings, invited to take our power back by trusting our inner wisdom, shifting from sickness to wholeness, from anxiety to calm, and from self-doubt to deep self-love. When we rest in that higher vibration of peace and divine guidance, we let Spirit speak through our own hearts and move with a wisdom that is pure, gentle, and always leading us toward greater wholeness.

Meditation ⏐ August 30, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
In this meditation, we gently return to our quiet center, connecting our breathing, beating hearts with the universal heartbeat and remembering that we are holy, divine expressions of light and love. We listen in the silence for guidance on where in the world our love and light are being called forth today, trusting that we truly make a difference.

"Healing is Coming Home" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ August 23, 2026
In this talk, we sit together in the intensity of personal and global upheaval and remember that our worth has never depended on how perfectly we cope, heal, or “get it right.” We explore Anita Moorjani’s insight that healing is not about fixing ourselves but about returning to the truth that we are already whole, loved, and worthy simply because we exist. As we notice fatigue, fear, or self-judgment, we gently practice becoming curious instead of critical, breathing into our hearts and learning to love the person who is already here.

Meditation ⏐ August 23, 2026 Sunday Service ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece
In this meditation, we gently enter the silence, soften our bodies with the breath, and rest in the loving presence of the Divine within and around us. From that quiet place, we listen for our own inner wisdom to show us where our light and love are most needed—whether in our own hearts or out in the world.

"Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid. Be Who You Truly Are" ⏐ Rev. Twyla Reece ⏐ August 2, 2026
In this talk, we explore what it means to “raise the veil” and “not drink the Kool-Aid” by noticing where we’ve unconsciously swallowed family, cultural, or collective beliefs instead of living from our own awakened truth. As we gently set aside ego, old wounds, and borrowed stories, we remember that we are beloved expressions of the Divine, free to live, choose, and love from a place of deep self-trust, compassion, and spiritual alignment.
