Morning Star Center for Spiritual Living

About Us

Morning Star Center for Spiritual Living is an open, non-denominational spiritual community. We provide opportunities for spiritual growth and development through a spiritual forum with a unique speaker each Sunday.

Our Vision Statement

Our Sunday gathering is designed to provide a weekly encouragement to individually manifest our highest good and purpose in our lives. Inner direction is the key. We reinforce positive directions for our lives and the infinite potential within us.

We seek connections to create an open atmosphere of acceptance of all backgrounds, races and lifestyles. We come together in a spirit of inclusiveness, embracing all spiritual paths, honoring One God in an atmosphere of unconditional love.

The format of our service is:

• Opening Song and Announcements
• Meet and Greet
• Chant and Meditation (about 10 minutes)
• Speaker Presentation (about 20 minutes)
• Song/Offering
• Close
• Peace Song in a Circle

Morning Star’s Audacious Five Practices

At the fall Board Retreat, five practices described by Robert Schnase were explored and adopted as a guide for the board and our Morning Star community. You’re invited to join us in our expanded ways of being with each other and we encourage you to explore ways to implement and incorporate these practices with us and in your daily life.

The Five Practices are:

• Radical Hospitality
• Passionate Worship
• Intentional Faith Development
• Risk-taking Mission and Service
• Extravagant Generosity

Our Services

Morning Star Center for Spiritual Living meets on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. at the Senior Citizens Center located at 329 S. Peters (about 3 blocks south of Main Street in the two story blonde-brick building on the east side of the street - across from a small city park at the corner of Symmes and Peters).

We typically have 50-80 in attendance. The format of the service is similar to a Sunday service. Dress is casual; our live music is phenomenal; and our services are informal and comfortable. We have a different speaker each week who makes a presentation on a spiritual topic. We also have childcare available for our younger members and guests.

Music is an integral part of the service with an acoustical mix of guitars, keyboards and vocal harmonies to lift the spirit in an upbeat and reflective atmosphere. We close with the familiar Peace Song..."Let There Be Peace On Earth...".

Please visit our Wisdom Collection (Morning Star's lending library) for a diverse collection of books, cds, dvds, and other spiritual resource materials.

All are welcome and we hope you'll join us!
