Gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a spiritual power that transforms how we see, respond, and show up in the world. This Sunday, Rev. Cherie Ruffo leads us into the heart of The Alchemy of Gratitude, exploring how appreciation shifts our consciousness, heals the heart, and invites divine order into our lives.
Together we’ll discover how gratitude becomes a sacred tool of spiritual alchemy — turning everyday moments into revelations of grace. Join us for an uplifting morning of reflection, light, and a beautiful candle ritual honoring our blessings. Please bring a list of 5 things you are grateful for.
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It transforms denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity.” — Melody Beattie
