Dear Ones,

So often, we seek answers to questions, solutions to problems, and our very good itself from external sources, rather than being wise enough to “inquire within” to the Infinite Wisdom always available to us and far greater and more reliable than anything or anyone outside of us.  Certainly, we have gathered loving friends and wise teachers who can listen and share their experience and opinions, but this cannot compare to the Source of Wisdom itself, which abides always at the very center of our being.

Such internal investigation brings peace, clarity, and confidence, all of which lead to a day filled with excellent choices, healthy activity, success in our endeavors, and serenity at the end of the day.  The more we call upon this divine resource, the more our faith deepens, and it becomes a natural choice to go first to the Spirit within, trusting and following Its guidance. It takes practice to withdraw willingly from world opinion and “what they say” and opening the ear of our heart to hear the sweet song of Spirit, lovingly showing us the way.

We continue September’s theme, “Learn to Live Fully,” and next Sunday’s topic is, “The Mentor Within.”  Be with us at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, at 1:00 P.M. EDT, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org.   Whether you are able to attend in person or from a computer or phone in your home or car, you are a very important part of our beloved community, and we love you.

Are you ready to go deeper into the Unity of All Life? Have you experienced those flashes of awareness, in which you truly feel your oneness with the Divine and all beings? We encourage you to join Dr. Maxine’s seven-week Thursday night class, “The Mystical Path,” starting this week, September 10^th, on Zoom, using Wayne Teasdale’s “The Mystic Heart,” as well as the Student Guide. The reading, exercises, and discussion are designed to open us to deeper understanding and greater aliveness.  Please register promptly in order to receive the workbook and instructions.

Our Licensed Practitioners, affectionately known as “The God Squad,” provide spiritual support for our Center, and for individuals seeking an uplift of consciousness. They are all listed on their \ and offer the gift of a “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Additionally, you may place a request into our Prayer Chest. They are available for one-on-one Practitioner sessions.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

As a delightful nonagenarian minister friend of mine replied years ago, when I lovingly asked her why she continued taking all the classes offered at our Center, “I just want to keep evolutin’ right along!” And evolutin’ she did, never missing a beat, continuing to discover new, wonderful life experiences, and making a difference for all of us.  It is the divine intention for us that we continue to live life fully, setting clear intentions, making new discoveries, adding inspiration to others, and experiencing great joy on the adventure.

I encourage you to join me in determining to feel the aliveness of Spirit in all we choose to do, to bring the best of ourselves to every vision and each project, and to take all the next steps toward greater and greater fulfillment of this amazing life experience. Set the intentions, trust the generosity of spirit and the reliability of the Law to bring them about with Grace and Ease.

We complete our monthly theme of “Joyful Journey or Taxing Trip” with the very important question, “What’s Next?” Now that we have learned how to return to the “Main Road” (Spirit, Source, the Divine Presence), we are ready to set clearer, wiser intentions for continuing Life’s adventure.  Join us this Sunday, at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, at 1:00 P.M. EDT, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  Our Community is made up of those near and far, and all are an important part of our extended family.

Dear Ones,

As we continue traveling what is intended to be a Joyful Journey on our spiritual evolutionary path, we may find ourselves taking an occasional “off-ramp” from the main Highway of Happiness!” Actually, such supposed deviations from our higher purpose may increase our understanding and appreciation of the adventure.  Rather than judge ourselves or others for these “off-road” experiences, we are wise to bless them and look for the gifts they have given. One such benefit may be an experience of greater compassion for others who have taken similar diversions.

In realizing that every step we take ultimately leads us to remembering Who and Whose we are, we understand that no mistakes exist in Mind; therefore, none can be present in you and me. Once we experience our complete Unity with the Divine, it all begins to make sense, and we become free to celebrate the Truth that not only sets us free, but keeps us free!

Join us this Sunday, as we focus on, “Taking a Byway.”  We meet at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, at 1:00 P.M. EDT, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  Our Community is made up of those near and far, and all an important part of our extended “family.” As there is neither time nor space in the Mind of God, so we remain very close with each other in consciousness.

The next opportunity to participate in a CSL Certified class will be Dr. Maxine’s seven-week Thursday night class,  “The Mystical Path,” starting September 10^th, on Zoom, using Wayne Teasdale’s “The Mystic Heart,” as well as the Student Guide. Come for a deeper experience of Unity, Compassion, and Wisdom.

Our Licensed Practitioners comprise our Healing Ministry, which provides spiritual support for our Center, as well as for individuals seeking to heal a situation, reveal a solution, or simply bring peace and possibility to their consciousness. They are all listed on their dedicated Practitioner page on our website and offer the gift of a “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Additionally, you may place a request into our Prayer Chest.

Dear Ones,

We understand that a healthy mindset tends to produce pleasant, satisfying, successful experiences, while worry or anxiety brings about the opposite.  As we diligently train our minds in the direction of positive intention, our inner strength increases, and it becomes easier to maintain a state of calm faith and peaceful anticipation. Ernest Holmes tells the students of this teaching that, “We should work, not with anxiety but with expectancy; not by coercion but with conviction; not through compulsion but in a state of conscious recognition and receptivity.” The Science of Mind, p. 58

Anticipating a favorable outcome, looking for the good and praising it, and remaining in a state of serene acceptance, we begin experiencing a joyous, successful life of greater happiness and real freedom. This is the divine intention for us, and we are all capable of stepping up to it in consciousness and co-creating a beautiful life for ourselves and others.

Join us this Sunday, as we focus on, “Healthy Expectations.”  We meet at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, at 1:00 P.M. EDT, or you may join online by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  Our Community is blessed to include our extended “family” that may be miles away but very much a part of our hearts.

This is the final opportunity to be part of Rev. Mike’s CSL Certified Class, “Mental Equivalents,” scheduled for five Thursdays on Zoom, and beginning this Thursday, August 6^th. Register online to receive the Student Handbook and Emmet Fox’s book by the same name.

The next opportunity to participate in a CSL Certified class will be Dr. Maxine’s seven-week “The Mystical Path,” starting September 10^th, also on Thursdays on Zoom, using Wayne Teasdale’s “The Mystic Heart,” as well as the Student Guide.

Dear Ones,

In whatever decade you may find yourself, there are gifts and blessings there for you. Looking back at earlier times in life can be educational, as well as interesting, as we can see how very far we have come in understanding the world, deepening our connection to the Divine Presence, and living more fully and effectively as a result of our learning and growth.

Let’s welcome each journey around the sun, remembering that Spirit is ageless, that we are individualized emanations of that Sacred Presence, and that we are renewed in mind and body in each instant of that recognition. As a dear minister friend used to admonish, “Don’t let age be your cage!” We truly were designed to feel alive and energetic throughout life, bringing our gifts to the world, and delighting in the joy of living a meaningful life.

Come be with us this Sunday, July 26th at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, at 1:00 P.M. EDT, or join on line by going to our website: www.cslphilly.org . Completing our monthly theme, “Celebrate Everything,” we’ll be addressing the real meaning of  “Forever Young.”

Classes begin next week with Rev. Mike’s CSL Certified Class, “Mental Equivalents,” scheduled for five Thursdays on Zoom, beginning August 6^th and Dr. Maxine’s seven-week CSL Certified Class on “The Mystics Path,” starting September 10^th, also on Thursdays, on Zoom.
