“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:22) Today, we know what this means. The renewing of the mind is a scientific act. As the conscious thought pours truth into the subjective channels of creative energy, the body is automatically renewed this is mental healing. ~Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 486
How special last week was, with our virtual Good Friday and Easter Celebrations! Even our traditional “Bountiful Bouquet” went beautifully, and virtually, as we sent in photos of special flowers, and our Producer, Jeff Masino, compiled them all into a stunning collage with musical accompaniment. Isn’t it amazing how this external challenge has brought about such brilliant creativity! There are so many ways for us to feel connected, fed, inspired, and together, and I am grateful for the faith, confidence, and flexibility we have all been experiencing and contributing to our Beloved Community.
We definitely have been moving through major transformation, personally and globally, and the energy of the past week assisted in lifting us above conditions to a greater reality and possibility. Of course, as next Sunday’s topic explains, “It’s an Inside Job,” as everything begins in the unseen realm of Infinite Possibility and manifests in the visible, according to the mental image on which we have focused. As we know, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” That is not to say that we, of our human selves, are responsible to make anything happen; rather, it is up to us to invite this Holy Presence to work gracefully and powerfully through us, accomplishing whatever we now choose to experience.
Do scroll through our website to see, not only the classes and events coming up, but also the many Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes from Rev. Mike and me that are archived there. Invite your friends to join us on Sundays, as we reach beyond physical borders to connect with people everywhere. As you click the Watch Live link on our website: www.cslphilly.org you will be directed either to Facebook or YouTube for viewing.
Our Board continues to meet virtually, discussing the important matters of our Community, monitoring the current health guidelines for in-person gathering, and looking toward a safe in-person opening when the time is right. Once we have established the safety and wisdom of returning to our Center, we will continue streaming these Sundays to you; and, even when we return, our plan is to continue in “hybrid” fashion, with both virtual and in-person Celebrations. Our archived Sundays and Love Notes from Rev. Mike and me may be accessed on that same link. We love sharing music, prayer, and uplifting messages for our Beloved Community and beyond.
Our Practitioners and Practitioner Interns are listed on our website, ready and willing to guide you through any challenges with spiritual support. Do call on them for support
With great love and respect,
