         The Institute For Spiritual Development is privileged to welcome you to share our Service Of Celebration.   The Service represents both the culmination and beginning of our spiritual week.   It is a time to focus on God, Self and the Universe.   A time of solitude and contemplation, as well as a time of community, it provides us with an opportunity to balance and understand the experiences of life.  It is right that we pause to gather our energy, to enhance our perspective, and to share our growth with kindred souls.
     The Service of Celebration blends prayer, learning, meditation and inspiration to impart upliftment and balance on the well-being of body, mind and soul.  At first glance you will realize that the Service is structured in a rather traditional fashion — something which we hope you will find comfortable.  At the same time, it incorporates aspects which are unique — something which we hope you will enjoy.   Plan to relax and enjoy the experience as a time of shared happiness.   Resolve to release any uneasiness you may have for the sake of a new perspective and a new experience.  Participate in the suspension of disbelief, and remember:  You are a stranger only as long as you choose to be one.
