Dear Ones,

As we complete the month of July, we continue to live its theme, “Birthing Greater Ideas,” preparing to step into a whole, new mode of gathering in person with our Beloved Community. Your Leadership has been visioning and setting conscious intentions for dynamic ways for us to be together, which has resulted in a lovely and innovative opportunity for us.

The United Church of Christ in Wayne is offering to rent their beautiful sanctuary to us for in-person gatherings on Thursdays nights and, possibly, the Fellowship Hall on Sunday afternoons. The Celebrations will be streamed the following Sunday morning for those unable to attend. Folks who experienced last year’s Winter Solstice Celebration recall this warm, welcoming facility, and their people are looking forward to our partnership.

As you share your insights and ideas with us via the survey you recently received, enthusiasm is growing, and we expect to launch our first Celebration on Thursday evening, September 5^th! We are definitely following Spirit’s guidance and consciously utilizing the Law of Mind in bringing about this step to our next physical dwelling place.  If you have not received our survey, just click here.

Next Sunday’s talk by Rev. Mike Gerdes, “Bringing the Ideal into the Real,” will focus on how this glorious process of internal, creative visioning outpictures successfully in the visible world. Everyone uses this Universal Principle, and we are deepening our awareness of how to use It effectively. Join us online July 28^th at 10:30 for music, affirmative prayer, and inspiration. Go to www.cslphilly.org and press the “Watch Now” button to be with us.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are available to assist you in elevating your consciousness through the use of our wonderful spiritual practices and can be found on the Practitioner Page of our website. As you reach out to any of them, they will gladly respond and set up a telephone or in-person appointment with you.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Whether we call them “challenges,” “problems,” “obstacles,” “lessons,” or “opportunities,” we tend to run into “bumps in the road” on our evolutionary paths. How well we deal with them has much to do with the perspective from which we view them and the amount of faith we have in a Power that can change circumstances into blessings and transform difficulties into divine delights.

It has been said that pebbles on our paths can be positioned into trailblazing patterns that actually make the journey more pleasant. Even boulders can be rearranged for greater access and ease in traveling. It’s all energy, so let’s maintain a consciousness high enough to make the shift from limitation to freedom and enjoy safe passage from one experience to the next.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. IN PERSON at the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA, as we share some ideas about “Turning Obstacles into Stepping Stones.” Click here to register for a seat or watch online by going to our website and clicking on the “Watch Now” button to be with us virtually on or YouTube channel or click here to watch us on our Facebook Channel.

Dear Ones,

In our current focus on “Birthing Greater Ideas,” we have a sacred opportunity to center our attention on individual intentions for expansion. Whether it is a new concept about health, prosperity, relationships, or creative activity, All Good is available to us through the Generous Spirit and the Dependable Law.

As Ernest Holmes explained, “There is a Power for Good in the Universe, greater than you are, and you can use It.” In truth, we use this Power whether or not we are aware of it, just as we breathe in the air around us without really giving it much thought. Just as we are sustained by Spirit, so are we free to employ the Law consciously and to expand our current awareness and experience.

As we vision together for a World That Works for All, we are not only using this beautiful Creative Power, but we are inviting It to use US by setting grand intentions for our Beloved Spiritual Community and its expansion, as well as for bringing forth a more peaceful and loving world. Let’s awaken our personal and shared Divine Vision by setting and intending the highest and the best for ourselves and all beings.

This coming Sunday’s 10:30 A.M. Virtual Celebration will come to you from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA, and I’ll be speaking about “Accessing the Creative Power.” You may be with us on Face Book or YouTube by going to our website, www.CSLPhilly.org and clicking on the orange “Watch Now” button.

Got challenges? We have solutions, and they are Spirit-based. Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are listed on their page on our website and are standing by to receive your request for affirmative prayer (Spiritual Mind Treatment) to assist you in regaining your deeper faith. Contact any of them to schedule an appointment.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Our nation is about to celebrate its 249^th birthday, and we are tasked to insist on the continuation of our democracy, despite any attempts within or without our country to jeopardize our freedom. The most important thing we can do is to keep the High Watch. The original intention of independence and freedom to thrive, individually and collectively, is ready for an even greater Vision. As our July theme suggests, we are preparing to “Birth a Greater Idea!”

We continue to deepen our conscious awareness of the Spirit which provides constantly and generously for our every need, and we learn the elegant and effective use of the Law of Mind which reliably brings about what we pray about. As we discover how our conscious intention and firm faith enhance our personal life experiences, it is the next natural step to enter into the greater arena of the larger community. Together, we are already making a difference in what Jung referred to as, “the collective unconscious,” or what Ernest Holmes called, “the human race consciousness.”

Rather than allowing the “group think” to enter into our portion of this subjective mind, we are wise to reverse the process, setting our creative intentions of unity, peace, understanding, plenty, and the Power of Love into this race mind. We are not alone in this noble endeavor, as the spiritual awareness of humanity truly has gotten the attention of the millions of awakened people who are tipping the scales in favor of Intelligent, Divine Right Activity. We are grateful to be a part of the solution.

Do plan to join us IN PERSON next Sunday as we gather for Celebration at the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA.  at 10:30 A.M.,” as I speak about “Deciding to Dream Big!” It will be a sweet opportunity to meet a couple of our “extended GPCSL family” present with us from Tallahassee, Florida. You may also be with us virtually by going to our website, www.CSLPhilly.org and clicking on the orange “Watch Now” button.

Do keep in mind our website’s Practitioner Page, where you will find trained Licensed Professional Practitioners, any of whom will work with you to clear up any challenges, lift you in affirmative prayer (spiritual mind treatment), and even teach you how to use Science of Mind in your life.

Happy Independence Day, and happy interdependence with Spirit and humanity.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

The Great, Creative Intelligence of this Universe is at work within all creation and dwells peacefully and powerfully within each one of us. It is as we become acutely aware of Its immediate presence in our very hearts and minds that infinite possibilities become measurable realities for us. As the Master Teacher explained, “It is not I, but the Presence within that does the work.” 

The more effectively we surrender to Spirit’s Loving Presence and the more firmly we stand in our faith, the more freely and continuously our Good flows through us and into our life experiences. We needn’t strive nor struggle to enhance the blessings in our lives, but simply invite the Infinite Power to work through us to establish a greater expression of Itself on earth.

Next Sunday’s virtual Celebration will come to you from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA.  at 10:30 A.M., and you are invited to join us for Rev. Mike’s presentation, “Not by My Own Hand.” Be with us by going to our website, www.CSLPhilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Now” button to join in.

Whenever we may feel challenged by a condition that we have not been able to overcome, this is a good time to call one of our wonderful Practitioners, all listed on our website on the Practitioner Page. Whomever you select will work with you to elevate your consciousness and assist you in working through the appearance to a greater Truth.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
