Wedding Basic Kit

Wedding Basic Kit - Perfect for your first wedding

Click to enlarge Are you performing your first wedding soon? You want to look professional, right? This package is for you! You'll receive a copy of The Ultimate Wedding & Ceremony Workbook for the 'Planning-Impaired', One ordination credential, 1 Wedding Officiant Title 3 certificates (wedding, renewal of vows and commitment) and a CD-rom that has the ceremonies being read, as well as a copy of them on Microsoft Word, so you can easily customize any ceremony in minutes! As a bonus, you will receive some extra wedding information in this kit just for ordering. To find out what that is, you'll have to order it, but I guarantee it's information extremely useful for a wedding minister! ***Note: The beautiful, raised gold seal offered here is not the official ULC seal offered by headquarters. The official seal of the church is the one pre-printed on your certificates. If your state requires registration for purposes of officiating marriage, first present your certificate as is. If you decide to apply the decorative seal to your credential, do it only after you have registered with the state. Putting on the seal to your certificate does not change the legality of your ordination in any way. However, county clerks in some places may possibly reject your paperwork if you've made any changes to the credential before you register. I've never heard of it to happen, but Andre at headquarters says it may happen.

The Ultimate Wedding & Ceremony Workbook for the 'Planning-Impaired' - $17.95

This book is one of the best on the market. It's funny and informative as well as giving information about weddings that's right on the money. The newly revised version has 81 pages of spiritual, loving, non-denominational ceremonies that are bound to pull a smile and/or a tear from virtually all the couples who get to use those words for their special day.

This outstanding workbook has both religious and non-denominational marriage ceremony texts and complete planning checklists for even the most simple details of the marriage ceremony event.

Not only does it provide all of the words for the minister to speak, but all of the detailed planning is included in checklist form which you may photocopy and provide as part of your service to the couple.

This one book includes all of the "professional" information dealing with planning a wedding, reception, vows and even wine and dove ceremony wordings for couples that may like those events included into their wedding memory.

Every member of the wedding party is taken into consideration and a checklist is provided for the very smallest detail for each person down to socks and ties. Ceremony wordings for the minister to state to the audience, prayers, promises, prayers, benedictions and the vows of the "I do." manner have all been included in several different wordings.

Offering such a choice to the couple really shows your professional manner and your respect for these most solemn events between two people. The minister is managing a once in a life-time event and memories are made at this time that may be cherished by the couple forever.

As a professional minister, you are expected to know these things. Officiating a marriage can be as easy as stating: "I pronounce you husband and wife," though those words alone do not make the ceremony the most memorable of moments possible.

Rev. Amy E. Long worked for many years to research all of the important moments of a wedding ceremony and I have used her book since 1998. The content of this workbook you are expected to know. To have it available to you from the start will enhance your marriage solemnizing services and your professional image to the couple and the wedding party.

The suggested retail price for this book is $19.95, but we have it on sale for $17.95.

Dr. of Spiritual Awareness

This is a really fascinating new course on developing spiritual awareness. If you've taken and enjoyed Spirit Quest, you'll love this course. The information is along the same lines, some completely new, some of it is a new look at similar information.

Master of Mystical Christianity $65.00

Master of Mystical Christianity $65.00

The Faith That Time Forgot

Have you ever wondered if there is more to the Christian story than you were taught? Are you a seeker for the truth, a truth that may very well lead beyond the well-worn paths of traditional religion? The Faith That Time Forgot presents new insights and alternative perspectives to many spiritual and theological issues, inviting you to come on a mystical, magical journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. In this series of lessons, you will find different answers to common questions such as:

Does Genesis truly teach that woman is destined to be subordinate to man?

What was the nature of the “Fall” in the Garden of Eden?

What do the ancient Gnostic manuscripts teach us about early Christianity?

What is feminine and what is masculine in the 21st century?

How does our lack of reverence for the Divine Feminine relate to our ecological crisis?

Will the real Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene and Jesus of Nazareth please stand up?

Are resurrection and ascension possible today, for anyone?

These and many other questions are addressed in well-researched, well-documented studies that challenge the seeker to go beyond their preconceived limitations and explore the reaches of the unknown. Much has been left in the shadows over the centuries. Much has been entombed, but not for eternity. Now is the time to bring light into this darkness and allow the silent shadows to speak. This is a quest for the Grail within yourself - your own Holy of Holies. We are your companions on the Way and we welcome you with joy and love. May you journey in truth and light, with the One ever before you.

ULC Monastery Not Affiliate with headquarters

CHANGES AT THE UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH

ULC - Universal Life Church & Online Seminary This is an important announcement regarding some changes that have been happening at the Universal Life Church.

For additional, independent verification of what's going on, click Monastery.

As some of you are aware, the ulc.org site has changed hands. Due to a series of unconfirmed circumstances, there was an abrupt change of leadership and ownership of the ulc.org domain name and site. It is currently in the control of George Freeman and his associates, currently signing the site as 'Br. Martin'. The circumstances of this change are in dispute among the parties. With the announcement going out, I felt it necessary to add a page to the Seminary site to let people know what's going on.

For many years, the ulc.org site was owned by Daniel Zimmerman. Many of you have had dealings with him and have formed your own opinions as to his honesty and integrity. Until recently, the ulc.org site (known as The Monastery) was an authorized site affiliated with headquarters.

As of August 1, 2006, that is no longer the case. From that point on, if you were ordained at the ulc.org site, your ordination was not sent to headquarters, nor were you recorded as being a legal minister with the Universal Life Church. If you have any links on your own website to the ulc.org site, I strongly urge you to change the links to www.ulcseminary.org, or to headquarters, to avoid sending anyone to a site that might confuse people as to its true intentions.

The new site still implies a connection between them and ULC Headquarters in Modesto, but no such affiliation exists. We fear this is going to be causing a lot of confusion and misunderstandings among the ministers of the ULC and we hope that, over time, word will spread and those who wish to affiliate with the ULC will steer clear. I believe that Andre Hensley, at headquarters, will be issuing (or may have already issued) a press release, Wikipedia has been changed, and the word is spreading.

Any products you purchase from that site do not have the sanction of headquarters, nor the blessing of the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, so proceed with that awareness.

If you are worried in any way that your ordination is in question, please re-ordain yourself on this site or at headquarters directly. Only those ordinations done after Aug. 1st, 2006, on the ulc.org site are in question. To affiliate yourself with this site, please make sure you are signed up to receive the newsletter so you will be kept abreast of everything happening with the ulc.

I hope this answers your questions. If you have any others, please feel free to ask me at amy@ulcseminary.org.

ULC Seminary book Project for all ULC Ministers

WHO'S WHO AT THE UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH
'The ULC Experience'


ULC - Universal Life Church & Online Seminary

The Goal:

At the ULC Seminary, we seek to always be growing, with a focus on educating ULC ministers and giving them a greater sense of validation and legitimacy. This new project may go a long way towards accomplishing that.



The Particulars:

What I'm going to do is to create a 'Who's Who' type of book for the ULC. I'm open to suggestions for a snazzy name, but we're going with 'The ULC Experience' right now. It will be a beautiful (possibly) hardbound book of ULC Ministers. Each minister will get a full page to talk about their personal spiritual journey, why they became ULC ministers, what they are doing with their ministry and what they are all about.

The cost for participation is $50. For that, you will get your full page of information and two copies of the finished book. Be aware that this is an introductory price for the first book. Also, if you refer 5 people who participate, your listing will be free.

This book will be a real published book, with an ISBN number as well as a Library of Congress number. I think this can be an amazing way to validate ourselves as a church as well as each individual minister who participates.

You can talk about your own church, your healing practice, your love of performing weddings, your outreach, your personal revelations, etc. It's entirely up to you. We will likely give each person space for one picture and the book will likely be 8.5 x 11, giving each minister plenty of room.

If you are using your ministry as a business, imagine the credibility you will gain by showing your clients this book. If you are interested and think this is something you'd like to participate in, please fill out the form below so I can get an idea of how many people are going to want to be a part of this great book.

Information can be found at www.ulcseminary.org/whoswho.php

Thanks for your attention and consideration.

Dr. of Metaphysics - Metaphysics and Miracles $75.00

The Metaphysics of Becoming Your Own Miracle Worker

This is a course in course in metaphysics and spiritual psychology. It teaches students how to make the kinds of choices that enable them to transcend their problems and experience inner peace.

It is rooted in A Course In Miracles, which is a modern day revelation that draws on the wisdom of ancient Eastern Religion, Western Christianity and psychological and spiritual principles.

ACIM is not a religion. It claims no monopoly on God. It is a study in spiritual psychology, and radical metaphysics that offers the student a transformational perspective on life.

The purpose of this course in Everyday Miracles, written by Rev. Loretta Siani, Ph.D is to put the teachings of A Course In Miracles in everyday language so that more people can reap the benefits of its lessons.

After taking this course you know how to access the power of miracles in your life and you will be better equipped to:

Harness the power of your unconscious and higher mind in your life.
Make the choices that will heal your inner conflicts and bring you inner peace
Clarify your life purpose
Use the alchemy of your intention to change your life
Release yourself from the negativity of your past
Access the wisdom of your true nature and your inner teacher
Heal your relationships
Rediscover who you really are
Escape from fear and doubt.
Understand and apply spiritual practices for developing optimal health in mind, body and spirit.


The Course includes 20 weekly lessons and a copy of Dr. Siani's masterfully crafted relaxation CD: In The Middle of Know Where.

Dreams and Goals Are wonderful. They give us a vision of a better life.


But somewhere along the line, our dreams don't always come true.
We somehow get "stuck', We know what we want, however, we just can't
seem to get there. This usually results in some form of frustration or anxiety. But it doesn't need to be that way. There are principles of metaphysics and spiritual psychology, that when applied properly, will enable you to manifest your dreams and become more of the person you really are. .

"What is a Miracle?"

Miracles occur when you breakthrough old beliefs and habits and do something you previously didn't think you could do.

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF MIRACLES:

1. Overcoming an incapacitating fear, obsession or addiction;

2. Finally finding the work that is right for you;

3. Reconciling or attracting a loving relationship;

4. Transcending the effects of a debilitating disease.

5. Stepping out of a life of depression into a life of inspiration and energy.

6. Walking out of a life rooted in fear to one transformed by love.

7. Rising above the battle field of chaos and confusion and finding a life of meaning and purpose.

8. Shifting from being held prisoner by your past, your environment or your heredity, into enjoying a life of freedom now.

9. Switching from being held back by your belief that you are limited or unworthy into totally understanding and knowing that you are unlimited in your potential.

This course walks you through the power of the mind and the shifts in thinking you need to access the miraculous power to make these changes.?

Here's what some of Loretta's clients have to say:

My work with Loretta has been a life changing experience. As a musician, I was looking for help in tapping into my creativity. With her expertise, I was able to not only let go of anxiety, but access my subconscious mind as well. Dr. Siani's work with me aided in opening up a creative source that was for so long inaccessible. As a result, my musical creativity is flowing effortlessly. -- E. Vazzana

"Loretta influenced a change in my stagnated way of thinking.*I believed that my past created the person I was in the present and would be in the future.* During hypnotherapy, Loretta guided me down a path which helped me resolve issues from the past, bringing me a new peace. I had new insights into the past which allowed me to move on. -- D. Laurie


Working with Dr. Siani has helped me more than any other therapy or drug I've tried.* --* S. Pace


Loretta Siani has given me uncomplicated yet meaningful tools to help me focus, relax and make clear choices, when real or imagined crises develop.* She has shown me how to step into the person I want to be. Loretta's work is very much a gift. -- C. F.

Loretta has helped these people create breakthroughs and miracles, and she can do the same for you.

Ths course is worth 4 seminary credits towards graduation.

This course can be ordered by going to Dr. of Metaphysics.
