CINEMA FOR THE SOUL PRESENTS...
 Canvas
Friday,
July 18th
7:30 pm to 10:00 pm
Sanctuary Theatre
Film critic Roger Ebert calls Canvas
“a serious film about mental illness and a sentimental heart warmer.
It tells the story of a 10-year old whose mother is schizophrenic,
and whose father is loyal and loving but stretched almost beyond his
endurance.” Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden and Emmy Award
winner Joe Pantoliano star along with 11 year-old newcomer Devon
Gearhart in this powerful and confident debut feature drama from
writer/director Joseph Greco. Inspired by a true story, this
critically acclaimed and award winning film about a family coping
with mental illness is as full of hope and humor as it is
heartbreaking performances.
Share Your
Abundance!
Do you have a fun or interesting story about how
the Denver Church classes or Science of Mind principles have
attracted prosperity and abundance into your life? And
remember that “prosperity” and “abundance” include love,
joy, happiness, peace, beauty.
We’d love to hear from you! Please submit your stories for
publication on our website and/or the Divine Times.

 A Message from Rev. Jim
Celebrating Our Freedom
Dearest Friends…
July is the time we celebrate our freedoms, in all their forms and
with all their power. Starting with Independence Day on July 4th,
when we recognize the freedoms we embrace in this country, the
celebration extends through Sunday, July 20th with our Annual Church
Meeting. There, we will celebrate the freedom to set our intentions
and direction for this wonderful spiritual organization, as well as
the wonderful freedoms we have as individuals.
The greatest of all freedoms, without a doubt, is our freedom to
change our minds. This freedom allows us to embrace a new
spirituality different from the religious traditions set down
through the generations, to welcome values and intentions which
serve us better than those of our forefathers, and even to change
the way we did things yesterday. God, by whatever name we wish to
call It, has given us a freedom to create and change in ways not
available to other forms of life. What power and what responsibility
we each possess, the ability to change and move beyond all past
perceived limitations.
During this month of freedom, I invite each of you, as individuals
possessing the mystic power to vision and change, and as part of a
community dedicating itself to transformation, to look deeply into
the power of your mind, your spirit, and your actions. While not
judging what was created in the past, what do we have the freedom to
change to make this a better world for everyone? This is the
foundation of our “Global Heart Vision” we embrace as part of the
United Centers of Spiritual Living, and the gift we celebrate this
month.
Blessings, in all ways!!!

 A Message from

Let Freedom Ring...
Hello Ones,
Let freedom ring! That’s how July feels to me. But, the freedom I’m
working on is slightly different from what you’d expect. I’m talking
about freedom within the mind.
Remember the “crazy
uncle”? He’s the one who thinks he’s in charge instead of you . He
is never in the present moment, but always reviewing the past or
worrying non-stop about the future. No matter where you are, he is
running these numbers–even in a most beautiful spot of nature. He
doesn’t let you pay attention to what you’re doing, even at work.
It’s called “wool gathering”, or even being on “auto pilot”.
But it’s not hard to give
him notice. Just you notice what’s going on, that’s all it takes.
When you witness what’s going on, you can gently move yourself into
the present moment. Look around you, see where you are and what
you’re doing.
It’s not hard if you make
a commitment to keep noticing. You’ll find the present moment can be
full of beauty, and interest, and even fun. You certainly are more
alive!
So, let freedom ring!
Blessings,
Rev.
Barbara,
Assistant Minister I

A Message from Rev.
Mary Jo 
Freedom to Love and Be Loved
Dear Friends:
Freedom . . . Freedom . . . Freedom . . .
Swallowing a tear, feeling a lump in the throat, or being unable
to speak. Have you ever had that experience during a patriotic
moment? Our national anthem is the one song that my father always
declared he couldn’t get through without crying. I’m sure he’s not
the only one. And I’m sure he passed that sentimentality on to me.
HBO recently aired an original series entitled, John Adams. I
highly recommend it. It’s a wonderful re-enactment of the formation
of this country through the deepest conviction about freedom that
many of our founding fathers held. After all these years, we are
still evolving as a nation and as a human race to be truly free.
As I have worked and prayed and played to practice Oneness in my
life, I have come to believe the practice of Oneness holds for us
the true experience of freedom. It’s a simple concept, but not
always that easy to practice. If I am truly connected to all things,
then any judgment, anger or resentment that I hold for anything
outside of myself just lives within me. Working to love all,
including myself, can really set me free. In this freedom, I am more
able to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I
can.
Philosopher and teacher Ernest Holmes tells us that “the more we
realize that everything is a part of the One (that which we call
God,) the more we experience love.” I would add “the more we
experience freedom”. May we work to release the fears that keep us
from being free. .May our lives be a demonstration of the freedom to
love and be loved.
Sincerely,
Rev. Mary Jo
Assistant
Minister
I

Denver Church of Religious Science has sponsored “Music Beyond
Words,” a unique Sunday morning music program which was originally
broadcast on 97.5 FM and then moved to Smooth Jazz 104.3 FM a few
years ago.
Music Beyond Words” gained a huge following
because of its unique blend of calming new age and contemporary
music expertly presented by the show’s creator and producer, Marie
Michaels. An ongoing special element of the show was its hourly “Thought
for the Day” created and presented by our own Rev. Jim Chandler.
Good news!
Using the internet and today's technology you can listen to
“Music Beyond Words” any time of the day or night, any day of the
week, from any location around the globe.
Think of it! You
can now have the perfect music for meditation, calming the
atmosphere at work, setting the mood at dinner, entertaining for
special occasions; instantly available any time you are called by
Spirit.
To access and get more information about this new
subscription service providing anytime, anywhere music access, go

And yes, in a short time, Rev. Jim’s
inspirational thoughts will again be a part of the programming.
“It is one of those
beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try
to help another without helping himself.”
