March 24, 2026: From the Pen of Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Rev. Mike and I hop a train to New York a week from today for our annual Met adventure, returning tomorrow, filled with the joy of great opera, delightful food, charming hotel, and the ease of letting Amtrak do the driving.  There is every reason for us to plan such beautiful outings and feed our souls with whatever we find magical and meaningful.

While we all pray and work for Peace in the world, it is necessary to align ourselves with Universal Peace and Power, inviting It to inspire and guide us in our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Also, as Ernest Holmes wisely suggested, we must “Take what you are doing seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously while you are doing it!” This is an important reminder to remain clearly focused and dedicated to doing our part to bring greater peace and  more heaven to earth, while we also enjoy participating in the lovely opportunities the earth offers.

As we conclude our theme for March, “Time for Renewal,” we’ll be focusing this Sunday, March 29th , on “Renewing Our Commitment to Peace.” Join us for our 1:00 p.m. ET Celebration at UCCVF, 45 Walker Rd., Wayne, PA, or be with us online by going to www.cslphilly.org and clicking on the orange Watch Live button. Our virtual participants are very much a part of our Beloved Community. For those in the area, you may wish to join the Practitioner of the Day from 12:30 to 12:45 in the “Couch Room” for a brief meditation. We always enjoy fellowship after Celebration and are grateful for the tasty treats our folks bring to share.

Whatever challenge you may be facing, spiritual support is available to you, as our Licensed Professional Practitioners can meet with you personally or on the telephone for a regular appointment. They may also provide you with the gift of a brief “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Click here to see their dedicated page on our website. A request placed into our Prayer Chest not only allows our Healing Ministry to treat (pray affirmatively) for you, but they will also send you a personalized affirmation when you provide your email address.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Even though we understand that our human intelligence is some part of Universal Intelligence, we also realize that it is the limited, subjective patterns within our individual minds that prevent us from letting a fuller measure of Divine Wisdom into our consciousness. As we begin choosing to look honestly at those erroneous beliefs and bring a greater awareness of Truth to them, something marvelous happens: an authentic shift to higher and more creative realities.

This inner Work is the most important we will ever do, for it changes our world view and brings a greater freedom to the solid, conscious intentions we may then make. In Romans 2:12, we read, “Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” If Paul spoke these words to the Roman citizens, they are still true for today’s residents of planet earth.

Join us this Sunday for our 1:00 p.m. ET Celebration at the United Church of Christ at Valley Forge, 45 Walker Rd., Wayne, PA, as we focus on, “The Renewal of the Mind.” Those who come early may join the Practitioner of the day for a guided, silent Meditation in the “Couch Room” preceding the service from 12:30 to 12:45 p.m. Folks out of the area, may join us online by logging on to our website, www.cslphilly.org and to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually. In-person attendees always enjoy the refreshments brought and shared after Celebration during Fellowship Time. Wherever you are in the world, you are a part of our spiritual “family.”

Although we all have access to the Divine Power that nurtures us and the Dependable Law of Mind that responds to us, there are times that we may feel less than adequate to pray for ourselves. This is why we have Licensed Professional Practitioners here for you, either to meet personally or on the telephone or to provide you with the gift of a brief (“Three-Minute-Miracle”) session after Sunday Celebration. These dedicated people serve the needs of our Spiritual Community, supporting and keeping the High Watch for everyone. Click here to see their dedicated page on our website. A request placed into our Prayer Chest not only allows our Healing Ministry to treat for you, but they will also send you a personalized affirmation when you provide your email address.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

As we continue our theme for the month of March, “Time for Renewal,” we shall expand our consciousness by discussing, “Beyond Time and Space” this Sunday. It is certainly time to move beyond any limited sense of confinement to our earthly experience, past conditioning, or future concerns. It is in living fully and powerfully in the NOW that we are able to attain our goals and feel the warmth of Spirit’s Presence and Power.

There is no restriction in Divine Mind, and the Boundless Spirit is alive and well within each of us. “Spirit is the Limitless within which is all space Spirit is Timeless, within which is all time.” Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 67

Stretching our minds, deepening our understanding, and establishing strong faith, we find there is no limit to the joy and aliveness we may feel and the great good we are able to bring to the world.

Join us this Sunday for our 1:00 p.m. DST Celebration at UCCVF, 45 Walker Rd., Wayne, PA. Those who come early may join Practitioner of the day for a guided, silent Meditation in the “Couch Room” preceding the service from 12:30 to 12:45 p.m. Folks out of the area, may join us online by logging on to our website, www.cslphilly.org and to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually. In-person attendees always enjoy the refreshments brought and shared after Celebration during Fellowship Time.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are here to serve the needs of our Spiritual Community and available for one-on-one sessions when any challenge may appear in your life. Click here to see their dedicated page on our website. One or more are available to you for a “Three-Minute Miracle” after Sunday Service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment by the “God Squad.”

Be sure to set your clocks FORWARD one hour before retiring Saturday night, as Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday morning at 2:00 a.m.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
