February 2025
Monthly Theme Summary:
This month, we focus on Interconnectedness, exploring the deep connections that bind us all. In February, we are invited to recognize the Spirit within ourselves and others, honor our bodies as sacred, and see the beauty of unity in everyone we encounter.
The teachings of Science of Mind remind us that we are all part of one divine Source, intricately woven into a single, unified existence. As Ernest Holmes teaches, “We are all rooted in the One Life, which is Spirit. Each of us is an individualized expression of that Divine Unity.”
Throughout February, we’ll explore the ways we can honor this truth in our daily lives. Through mindfulness, intentional living, and acts of love and kindness, we can deepen our awareness of the connections we share. By focusing on interconnectedness, we recognize that every thought, word, and action has the potential to create ripples that extend far beyond ourselves.
For our youth and teens, we’ll incorporate activities that celebrate unity and compassion. From meaningful Valentine’s Day projects to exploring Black History Month through the lens of shared humanity, we’ll encourage them to honor the sacred ties that unite us all. Together, we’ll embrace the truth that we are never alone—we are all part of a greater whole.
This month, we’ll emphasize the virtues of Compassion and Unity.
Exploring the Theme:
We will deepen our understanding of Interconnectedness by focusing on the following areas:
Expressions of Love and Gratitude: Reflecting on Valentine’s Day, we will explore ways to create heartfelt expressions of love and gratitude. This could include projects like writing “love letters to the world” or creating art that celebrates our connections to others and the world around us.
Celebrating Shared Humanity: During Black History Month, we will highlight the interconnectedness of cultures and celebrate the contributions of Black leaders to the collective whole. This reflection will show how every culture and individual is woven into the greater fabric of humanity.
Learning Our Center’s Benediction: As a community, we’ll reflect on and practice the affirmation: “Life is in my mind, Love is in my heart, Spirit is my guide.” This practice will help us recognize the Spirit that flows through all and connects us to one another.
The Web of Connection: Inspired by the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation, we will explore the idea that we are all connected in ways seen and unseen. This can help us understand how our actions ripple outward to affect the whole.
This Little Light of Mine: We’ll celebrate individuality and unity by reflecting on the song “This Little Light of Mine” and creating opportunities to share our unique light with the world. Whether through song, projects, or small acts of kindness, we’ll honor the ways our light contributes to the collective.
(Teens exploring January themes, creating collaborative art that will become a teen fundraiser in the future.)

Affirmative Prayer for Interconnectedness
I recognize the Spirit that flows through all life, connecting every being in an infinite web of love and unity. This Spirit is the essence of creation, moving through me, as me, and around me.
I affirm that I am inseparably connected to all that is. Each thought, word, and action I express ripples outward, touching the lives of others and returning to me in perfect harmony. I honor the truth that the universe is a unified whole, and I celebrate the beauty of our shared existence.
I know that my body is a sacred temple, a vessel through which Spirit expresses itself. I honor this temple with kindness and care, and I honor the same Spirit in everyone I meet. I embrace the infinite love that binds us together, trusting that I am always supported, always held, and never alone.
With gratitude for this truth, I release this prayer into the Law, knowing it is already so. And so it is.
Stay grounded,
Jennifer Caldwell
