Spirit and Truth Sanctuary

Good morning! Join us for our weekly Connection service with Pastor LaDonna Paulk Diaz as she talks about, "Growing in Grace." We are excited to welcome you both in person and to stay connected online with all of you.

Welcome to Spirit and Truth Sanctuary, where all of God's children are both welcomed and wanted!

We are an inclusive spiritual community that recognizes God is bigger than religion, though present in many of them. Religion tells you WHAT to think, Spirituality teaches you HOW to think. Change is the only constant in the universe... We all change, but we do so at our own pace and in our own space. We invite you to join us and eat what you can and journey at your own pace.

Good morning! Welcoem to The Game of Thrones! This Sunday we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Game of Thrones, and gather for Eucharist! We will continue our Better Bible Reading with a study of 1 Kings and the power plays for the throne:

The throne of Israel trembles—not from foreign armies, but from whispers in the palace halls. An aging king clings to power as rival heirs circle like wolves, each backed by cunning prophets, ambitious mothers, and loyal—or treacherous—generals. Secrets are traded in shadowed chambers, alliances forged over sacrifice and broken just as quickly. One son exalts himself, declaring destiny is his to seize; another waits, hidden yet chosen, as a fierce queen moves pieces behind the curtain with ruthless precision. In this kingdom, crowns are not given—they are taken, anointed in oil and blood alike. And as the prophet’s voice cuts through the chaos, one truth remains: the throne may belong to a king, but the kingdom answers to God alone.

Following the service we will have a Mexican inspired lunch with nachos and mock-arita’s. Plan to stay for lunch & fellowship this Sunday.

We continue our “Better Bible Reading” journey.
Bring your folders! Bring your minds! Bring yourselves!

Better Bible Reading in 2026 ~ History’s most important and impactful book. Rightly dividing the word of truth. Critical Scholarship. Spiritual understanding. Practical application. The world BEHIND the text. The world OF the text. The world IN FRONT of the text.
