SUMMARY:Lay Service
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join in a Christian Community Lay Service on the first Sunday of each month in the home of Buddy and Sarah Smiley at 228 Forest Hill Rd. Chapel Hill\, NC 27514. For those of you who have never attended a Lay service\, we sing\, recite the Creed and the Lords Prayer and join in a meaningful conversation about the gospel selection for that week. We also break bread\, albeit gluten free crackers in most cases\, and spend time enjoying each other’s company in the snack and coffee time after the service. We can continue to build our Christian community by reading the same Gospel readings each Sunday – whether we meet together or not. We read from the Jon Madsen translation of the Bible. This is an important deed for the spiritual world and it feeds our angel who watches over us\, especially when we all strive to work together spiritually for the good. \nThis year\, we will email the Gospel reading beforehand to our listserv so that those of you unable to attend our service can join us in spirit by reading and contemplating on your own. Everyone is welcome and feel free to bring guests or family members who are open to the Christian message. Healthy contributions to the snack are appreciated but not required. For clarification on any of this information\, please email: Buddy Smiley at: lsmiley7542@gmail.com or call at: 919-951-4353.\n\nWe look forward to you joining us in our gatherings!

SUMMARY:"Boundaries\, Lines and Borders"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Reverend Carol Kelly\n\nWhere do I end and you begin?\n\nWe live in the illusion of so many boundaries: Between people\, races\, nations\, age groups\, sexes…..What is true in these boundaries if anything? How could we think differently about them? What about the “boundary” between the material world and the spiritual world? Between heaven and earth? Let’s allow ourselves to rethink.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Mystery Drama of Human Biography
DESCRIPTION:Mystery Drama of Human Biography – Seeking to See the Spirit in the Story \nA lecture by Rev Richard Dancey.  Is human life a story? Who is writing? Are we authors\, co-authors or pawns? Creatures or creators? Is it “a tale told by an idiot\, full of sound and fury\, signifying nothing?” Is it full of meaning? And what about reincarnation? These are some of the questions and mysteries we will try to enter into in this talk.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Daily Practice
DESCRIPTION:“The Importance of Daily Practice”\n– “The one thing that shall not be taken away from you.” (Luke 11) \nA talk by Carol Kelly \nMary sits at the Lord’s feet and listens to His words. Our listening heart\, our attentiveness is what is being called for now.\nWe live in a world filled with anxiety\, fear and greed. This is the atmosphere we breathe. But it need not become our reality. We have something much stronger and long-lasting than any material\, or any drug or distraction. It builds upon itself like a well-maintained garden\, musicality or any acquired skill. It creates the space for the Divine will in us. We are the vessels through which the Holy Spirit can work. We are realizing the spiritual world in this world\, day by day.

SUMMARY:Rev Kelly talk on Water: permeated with spirit
DESCRIPTION:Water: precious\, selfless and permeated with Spirit. \nThe world is made of Spirit. The REAL world IS just that. The one we live in\, the material world\, we can think of as a “special case of spirit.” Spirit moves with what moves\, forms what will be formed\, and makes itself manifest where there is “activity.” This applies also to our thinking.\nWhere and how does water appear in the Gospels? How can we receive its message?

SUMMARY:Easter Sunrise Observation & Lay Service
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 27\, 6:30 am.  Easter Sunrise Observance and Breakfast at the Frey’s.  The sun will rise at 7:09vam.  We need to be seated and waiting at 6:30 am as the sun begins to send its rays at least 30 minutes before it crests the horizon.  Dr. Rudolf Steiner gave us a beautiful Easter imagination for greeting the sun on Easter morning.  We should envision Lucifer coming to us in the early rays of the sun.  When the sun crests we can imagine the Christ coming to us behind Lucifer with outstretched arms.  When we hear the voices of songbirds being raised to the sun we should imagine that they reach the realm of the Cherubim\, for indeed they do.  We should allow our souls to rise with the songbird’s voice\, and imagine the Cherubim turning to acknowledge both the songbird and our listening souls.\nWe will have chairs and lap blankets.  You’re advised to dress warmly.  Please turn to the right after you park your car and follow the lights to our waiting spot. \nAfter the sunrise\, we will share a gospel reading\, song\, and shared contemplation before adjourning to a lovely breakfast provided by the Frey family. All are welcome.

SUMMARY:The Harrowing of Hell - talk by Edward Schuldt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 26\, 7:00pm.  The Harrowing of Hell:\nChrist’s Descent into the Interior of the Earth and How We Can Go With Him   A talk by Edward Schuldt \nThe nine spheres of the interior of the Earth have been a topic of research for Edward Schuldt for many years now. They also play an important role in a novel Edward is writing. Edward compares the 9 spheres of the earth with the stages of Christian initiation as well as the Nine Beatitudes. This promises to be a fascinating exploration of a very esoteric mystery. \nA light supper of soup and salad will follow.   A limited number of participants may spend the night at Judy’s home in order to get up early for the Easter Sunrise (7:07 am). Please call Judy to see if there are any beds left:  919-928-8749 or simply arrive around 7 am or earlier..

SUMMARY:Good Friday - Stages of Christian Initiation
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday\, March 25\, 1:30 pm.  The Stages of Christian Initiation \nIn the past\, those who sought higher consciousness entered into Mystery Schools for training with a Priest-Hierophant who directed their every step. Today initiation occurs in everyday living without the help of an initiatory priest.  At the time of Christ\, it was impossible for one to have a full experience of Golgotha because mankind was still developing the Intellectual Soul. One had to wait until the development of the Consciousness Soul  to become mature enough to experience inwardly the Imaginations which begin to reveal the true reality of the Mystery of Golgotha. Christ Himself has become the Teacher for the Path of Christian Initiation. Meditating on the St. John Gospel will eventually lead to a Clairvoyant experience of the Mystery of Golgotha\, according to Rudolf Steiner. \nOn Good Friday we will explore the Path of these Stations of the Cross that are the basis for the stages of Christian Initiation. Referring to the lectures of Rudolf Steiner and the reflections of Kristina Kaine\, who has written a book “Reflections on the Seven Christian Initiations in the Gospel of St. John”\, we will explore how we can partake in this Mystery process with Christ.\nFollowing  a talk on this topic by Kathleen Wright\, participants will discuss their own understanding of the Mystery of Golgotha. They will then have the opportunity to meditate on the Stations of the Cross or walk the labyrinth on the beautiful grounds at Avila Retreat Center. Instructions for using the labyrinth will be handed out at Avila.\nMembers will gather in the parking lot at Avila at 1:30 PM sharp (please don’t be late) and we will walk to one of the outdoor gazebos for our talk. The grounds at Avila Retreat Center are open to the public; however a “good will donation” was suggested by them\, as our members may need to use the facilities indoors.  We will take up a collection. Avila was chosen because of its extraordinary spiritual energy. If you have never been there\, check out the website which has a video of the grounds.

SUMMARY:"From Infinite Suffering to All-Prevailing Cosmic Love
DESCRIPTION:Christ Jesus made Himself into that which is to live in every single human being. Through Him there came into the world what can come about through freedom and peaceful cooperation.” (The Christian Mystery) \nAs Jesus walked on earth he witnessed the terrible wretchedness of human beings bereft of Spirit. He suffered enormously because of  what he must endure and bear. In His infinite compassion for human beings He brought forth the “Lord’s Prayer” and gave Himself to the earth and to all of humanity in communion with us. \nThe radiance of His Being and the magnitude of this deed are only now in our time\, beginning to be dimly understood. Let us walk further into this mystery. \nAfter this talk\, there will be a close of day service.

SUMMARY:Reappearance of the Christ Study Group
DESCRIPTION:A weekly study group that is open to all to read and contemplate this seminal text of Rudolf Steiner.  \nPlease contact Kathleen Wright (919-309-9622) to find out what Chapter is being read. \nSteiner boldly announces the central 20th century spiritual event: the true nature of the second coming of Christ is His appearance to human beings in the etheric world\, not His return in a physical body. The experience of Paul at Damascus will be repeated for more people. Humanity is challenged not to sleep through this event. Other related themes covered here are the etherization of the blood and the three realms of the dead.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Christianity in the age of Materialism
DESCRIPTION:We often think of materialism as “consumerism”\, producing and wanting ever more and more stuff. Yes\, that is one of the results of materialistic thinking\, but it goes much deeper than that. Materialism\, belief that this world is all there is\, and that things are as we perceive them\, is much more insidious. It is in each one of us\, in the air we breathe and the water we drink\, in our educational systems and even in our churches. How do we find our way through materialism to the spirit? Can we get there from here?\nJohn the Baptist has said\, “Change your heart and mind.” One small change within us can bring about amazing results! It is as if the Universe has been waiting so long that one step in the right direction is met with tremendous encouragement. We can change our vision and learn to see the world differently and transform materialism. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery.
