In our form of affirmative prayer, we are announcing. We are remembering what is true about the goodness of this life and declaring it to be so. We are particularizing the love of God, the energy of the Universe, in our own life.  ~Scott Awbry

Affirmative prayer is a major spiritual practice at Oakland Center for Spiritual Living. Everyone can learn to pray affirmatively.  Trained Licensed Prayer Practitioners choose to make affirmative prayer their mission. To find a list of all the Practitioners, Click Here.  Practitioners offer prayer to anyone at no cost.  Practitioners are also available to help you explore your beliefs and to help you align those beliefs with spiritual principle. Click the image to download the prayer form and submit your prayer to our prayer team.

Our ongoing coin drive is Abundance in Action. It demonstrates that we are Open at the Top. We affirm that “My giving blesses the world. I allow abundance to flow freely. I joyfully give and receive. I am grateful for the overflow.” There is a coin canister at the back of the sanctuary and one in the lobby. Thanks so much for your generosity.
