Creating Your Spiritual Playlist

With Rev. Tamera Schmidt

Eric Butterworth, the author of Discover the Power within You said, “Within every person is the unborn possibility of limitless growth and ours is the privilege of giving birth to it.” We will be examining the elements of a spiritual playlist to activate that magic within each of us on a daily basis.
