7 Practices of Peace - Resting
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 23 Mar, 2014
When we've gone through the earlier six practices - we have woken up to the presence of goodness, we have looked at areas we can change and made those changes, and we have let genuine love take highest priority in our lives - we finally experience peace. Even when we are active and engaged in life's challenges, our efforts no longer feel like labour. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden , Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 16 Mar, 2014

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 9 Mar, 2014

7 Practices of Peace:Speaking
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 9 Mar, 2014
Up to this point in the creation story, the earth has been silent. There are plants and trees, and water and sky, and they are newly lit by the great lights in the sky. Still, nothing moves freely. On this day, however, birds sing, and a new kind of life takes form on the earth. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden , Westville, RSA
7 Practices of Peace: Navigating
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 2 Mar, 2014
After cultivating new habits, a new stage comes when we start to experience the benefits of living a better way. We become lit up about the new way of living, and our love leads us forward. When we have faith in its positive effects, navigating our way through life becomes easier, more peaceful and more joyful. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
Day 5: Creatures of the Sea and the Sky
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 2 Mar, 2014

Glenn , Dawson Creek
7 Practices of Peace - Cultivating
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 23 Feb, 2014
Once we've acknowledged God's presence in our lives, and begun to see that there is a higher way, we are ready to take action (cultivating). These practices lead us toward creating a life that continues to be a blessing to others. The small seeds within these actions will go on to bear more fruit, more seeds, positively affecting people we may never meet. Gen 1:9-13, AC 9, TCR 529, TCR 528, AC 29 | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 23 Feb, 2014

7 Practices of Peace: Distinguishing
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 16 Feb, 2014
Once we’ve awakened to the sense that there’s a higher power, a new phase comes about. We begin to recognise that two distinct parts exist within us. When we recognise this higher place, we’re better able to distinguish between the things in life that are real, true and worth dwelling on, and those that are fleeting and not vital. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden , Westville, RSA
Day 3: Land and Plants
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 16 Feb, 2014

7 Practices of Peace - Awakening
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 9 Feb, 2014
In this first stage, before the light hits, we grope in darkness. Since we are asleep to the real, spiritual world within everything, our life is "empty, dark and void." The change begins when we start to acknowledge some higher power, something more than the shallow life we've been living. This is like a light dawning, bringing a first feeling of peace. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden , Westville, RSA
Day 2: Waters Below, Waters Above
Worship Service: Sermon only - 9 Feb, 2014
The second in a series on the Seven Days of Creation. On the second day, God divided the waters below from the waters above. In the internal sense, on the second day a person begins to distinguish between the things in his internal man and his external man, and to realize that the things in his internal man belong to the Lord. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Dawson Creek
Day 1: Let There Be Light
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 2 Feb, 2014
The first in our seven-part series on the Days of Creation. On the first day, God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. In the internal sense, this speaks to the first step in a person's path of regeneration: when they begin to know that the good and the true are something higher than themselves, that everything good and true is from the Lord, and that the Lord is. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Dawson Creek

Worship Service: Sermon only - 10 Nov, 2013
(Part 6 of 7 in the Journey series: 7 Practices of Peace). Human beings are not perfect. We make mistakes; we err. What does it mean to be truly human?
