My Rule of Life Ministry

Using the gifts that the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon me, I will discern what my purpose is in the Universe through prayer and meditation. I will take into account the needs of my community and bring forth my skills, compassion, Love and knowledge as a representative of the church.
My lifetime ministry will be centered on Gods calling, Universal Wisdom and information gleaned from Spirit.
I will:
1.    My response to the Love of the Divine is an overflowing of this love to an extent that I can’t help but share it with all.
2.    I will leave the people I meet with, with an extra spring in their step and a smile on their face, because this is what has been done for me by the Great Spirit.
3.    Practice daily self-examination with morning meditation and nightly review.
4.    Maintain personal contact with the Divine through meditation, intercession, thanksgiving, creative arts, writing, eating well and exercising regularly.  I will send Universal Energy, for wisdom, health and joy daily to my community, our leaders, our Guides on the Other Side, and all those seeking to connect with their own Blessed Higher Selves. Through these acts of pure Love, I will seek to know where I am meant to be and how to serve.
5.    I am called to share the Love and joy of the Great Spirit with my fellow man. Break down the traditional Christian concept of guilt, and empower people to know that they are here to enjoy this gift of life, and not mourn it by keeping to the dogma of self deprivation. I will commit to live my life as an example of this incredible source of Love, by meeting all of my responsibilities and still thoroughly enjoying life. I will abide by mans laws, and teach others to do the same, while simultaneously appreciating the beauty in everything.
6.    Daily study of Spiritual material and meditation on new concepts to integrate them into my own Spirit for the betterment of myself and my community.
7.    Aside from my morning meditations and nightly review, I keep in constant contact with the Divine through the beauty of nature. Walks in the woods, wading in the creek, vegetable and herb gardening, preparing natural medicines, and feeling the sun on my skin.
8.    I live simply by eliminating excessive possessions, answering the call for need when it is made, not envying or competing with my neighbour, and sharing the blessings the Universe has granted me with those who I am led by the Holy Spirit to help.
9.    I will practice Universal Love and compassion in the workplace. I will be a beacon of the truth that we are loved and Heaven is not ashamed of us. Ever.
10.    I will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as it communicates with me. I will put only natural food into my body that the creator of all has provided for me. By feeding my body the things it can recognize and assimilate from nature, I will maintain my ability to stay sharp and focused on my connection to the Divine. I will share these concepts and that we are to claim the Love and joy of our Creator as our very own, in order to live a full and healthy life.

My Letter of Encouragement to My Community
Dear Visitors,


I call you visitors because that’s what you all are. You are all here for a brief time, to learn lessons about relationships. Think of it like summer camp. You send your children to camp so they can meet children from other towns and other cultures in an effort to gain relationship skills that will serve them when they come home. The Divine has this in mind for you, too. Gather information from this life that will serve you in the next and beyond. You have all been here before, with many of the same people that you are surrounded by now, so that you may learn lessons of Love and respect. You will clear away old Karma with each lesson you learn and each relationship you heal. It is by these acts that you will move closer and closer to communion with the Divine. 

May it empower you to know that the Love of the Divine is with you always, that you cannot lose it, it will not be taken from you, and it will never cease to exist. You cannot sin against the Divine. You have been sent here to make mistakes for the betterment of your Blessed Higher selves, and that cannot happen if you sit on your hands. Go forth and experience all that there is experience, safe in the knowledge that you cannot get it wrong. 

Meditate and give thanks daily and reflect upon the wonders of nature. The Divine will be found in everything around you and is in constant communication with you through all things and events. Become a good listener. Tune in to the voice of the Great Spirit and you will know that what I have said is true. 

The world is full of wonders, love and joy. Seek these things and you cannot miss them.
Rev. Bonnie MacDade
