As our country honors October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we take this Sunday to acknowledge the religious teachings that continue to keep domestic violence alive in our communities. We will explore how even the most universal messages of love can be heard by both abusers and victims as justification for family violence.

Sometimes the Answer is No: Having Compassion for Yourself and Others When You Don't Get the Answer You Want or Expect

Mick Jagger perhaps said it best, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need." The problem with most of is we don't like being told no, for whatever reason, and instant gratification, darn it, does take too long. Sigh...

In her sermon, Kristin will dash the common myths about forgiveness and inspire you to include forgiveness as one of your spiritual practices.

You Are Here. Those were the words I saw projected on the wall in a dead-end space of a museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico last month. As I stood there thinking "So?" they slowly dissolved and became Here You Are. Still not understanding, I watched as those words dissolved and became Are You Here.

Ministerial candidate Pamela Wat's sermon from 07/05/2009 at Pathways Church in Southlake, TX.

We try to show up for people. We try to be present and to understand one another, but often there are barriers that prohibit us from deep and meaningful connections. What if we could learn to listen to those whose voices we have never quite been able to hear? What if we could remove the barriers and reach a depth of presence so profound that it changed the world? What if we could start doing that today? Here. Now. What if?

Rev. Rob Moore
In my last two services with you, I have led you in bits and pieces of loving kindness meditation. Now I am excited to share with you the rest of the basic loving kindness practice. Equanimity comes in as we begin to practice loving kindness for all beings with no distinction between self, family, stranger, enemy, etc. Please join in learning more about loving kindness and bringing it to our lives and to a hurting world.

It's been eight months since Pathways received its designation as a GLBT Welcoming Congregation. Most of the country will celebrate GLBT pride this month. Has our Welcoming Congregation work fallen off our radar? Our certification was the beginning of our journey, not the end. Where do we go next?
