CWe have been working on improving our communication over the last three weeks focussing on listening, and asking whether what we are saying is true and whether it is kind? This week we add a third gate that we will try to have our words pass through: Is it useful? Inviting us to ask the questions, "Is what I am about to say going to be of use. Will it add to the situation or conversation, and be beneficial? It is easy to not give much thought to what we say - letting our words go from our mouths without considering how they may impact those listening. Our words have the ability to hurt or heal. What do you want yours to do? We will talk more about this on Sunday beginning at 10:30 a.m. Please join us in person or via the live stream on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderNewChurch/
As long as you have access to the internet, you can join us for worship no matter where in the world you are.
There are many churches in this world. With so many choices it can a bit overwhelming to find a church that fits. Here are a few ideas about The New Church so you can see if it might be a good fit for you. First, we are not a traditional Christian church. We do follow the Lord Jesus Christ--but we don’t think you are going to hell if you don’t. Second, we believe the Bible is not supposed to be understood literally. It was written and given to us because it contains a deeper “spiritual sense” that is really about our inner or spiritual life. And third, God never judges anyone. We judge ourselves by the choices we make every day in freedom. We are creating a heaven or hell within us right now by what we love and pursue in our lives. We simply continue living after death in the way we have chosen to live here, but more completely. These are a small sampling of the ideas that make up The New Church. Please join us for worship or explore this web page for more information.
We have choice. Our choices make up our spiritual character. It is important to know that there are good impulses flowing in from heaven and selfish impulses flowing in from hell.
