Dear Ones,

Certainly, this is not the first time in history that humankind has faced and triumphed over uncertainty and conflicts, both personal and global. Remembering that there exists within all people and every circumstance the Presence that embraces us with Divine Love and guides us in Infinite Wisdom, we recognize the triumphant Spiritual Power that always brings about  success.

It is as we turn every transient fear into deep, abiding faith that we move through any and all conditions and reveal the Divine, Eternal Perfection within the temporary circumstance. Turning from error and maintaining our focus on Truth, we return naturally to our clear, strong, joyful expressions of Life. That is the Divine Intention for each of us and for all humanity, so let’s allow God to show us the way to victorious living. There is nothing to fear and everything to celebrate.

Our Community loves to gather for social events, and we plan an early Halloween Party tonight at the AVE Clubhouse in Malvern. Wear a costume, bring some nibbles to share, and do register as soon as possible.

This coming Sunday, we will discuss “Seeing the Sacred Within the Scary,” continuing our monthly theme, “Fearless Beauty!” Regular service begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are part of our online Sundays, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the Watch Online button to be with us virtually.  Realizing there is neither time nor space in the Mind of God, we understand that our extended family members are a significant part of our Beloved Community.

All members and friends of GPCSL are invited to our Annual Community Membership Meeting, beginning at 3:00 P.M. next Sunday  (Oct. 26) in Fellowship Hall.  You may attend in person or on Zoom. Please be sure to register. Light refreshments will be served, and you are welcome to contribute to the buffet.

It is simple to contact one of our Licensed Professional Practitioners for spiritual mind treatment, as all are listed on their dedicated page on our website.  Contact any of them for a personal appointment, whenever you may be facing a challenge in your life. They are also available on Sundays for brief meetings after service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

Let’s remember that God’s Life is the Only Life there is to have or to be and that It is the very Life of each of us. Of course, it follows that we are all immersed in and expressions of that Life and that we can bring out the Authentic Self of each other, as we commune with Spirit and connect with our brothers and sisters. Not only is it satisfying to find ways to draw out the best in each other, but it is absolutely de-light-ful to bring our shared Light into the greater community.

Everyone wins when we clearly establish our oneness with this Divine Life and our deep connection with one another. Agnes Sanford, wife of an Episcopal Priest and author, wrote many books on spirituality, including one powerful one entitled, “The Healing Light.” In this book, she suggests that we “take our light into a person’s darkness” just long enough to lead them out of the darkness into the Light, not remaining there but showing them while maintaining our own shining consciousness.

Inviting the glowing, innate divinity within others to come forth is one of the most loving, joyous, and essential activities in which we may engage. We truly have the ability to open our hearts to each other with the courage to allow Spirit to elicit the Illuminating Presence within all to create a brilliant solution to every human condition.

Next Sunday, we will discuss how to “Invite the Light from Others,” continuing our monthly theme, “Fearless Beauty!” Regular service begins at 1:00 P.M. E.T. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are part of our online Sundays, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually (or just click here). Realizing there is neither time nor space in the Mind of God, we understand that our extended family members are a significant part of our Beloved Community.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are as close as a phone call and are all listed on their dedicated page on our website (or click here).  Contact any of them for a personal appointment, whenever you desire spiritual mind treatment for any issue. They are also available on Sundays for brief meetings after service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment.

Dear Ones,

When dealing with Unconditional Love, we realize that it is up to each of us to discover the Essence of Love innately within us and to radiate It to all, as we employ the Action of Love in the world. This does not require a specific object, simply a willingness to share this caring and compassionate activity freely and joyfully.  A good example of this selfless and generous action would be a lovely garden of flowers that gives off its fragrance and shares its beauty to all who enter.

The Beauty within us all is the Presence of Divine Life Itself, and we may access It through appreciation and observation, within ourselves, as well as within others. Being true to our Spiritual Nature, we must shine our lovelights, bringing more beauty into our lives and into the world. Let’s get in touch with our generous nature and pour forth our Love and Beauty to all we encounter.

Be sure to join us this Sunday, October 12^th, as we welcome Rev. Mike to the pulpit to continue our monthly theme, “Fearless Beauty!” His topic will be, “The Rose Knows.” Regular service begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are part of our online Sundays, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the Watch Online button to be with us virtually (or just click here).  Our extended family members are a significant part of our Beloved Community.

When you wish to connect with one of our Licensed Practitioner, just scroll to their page on our website (or click here) and contact any of the four are in our local area, or any of the four who are out-of-state but easily contacted. As you choose any of them, your consciousness will be lifted through spiritual mind treatment. They are also available on Sundays for brief meetings after service, and the Prayer Chest receives your requests for spiritual mind treatment.

With great love and respect,

Dear Ones,

We are cautioned not to “hide our light under a bushel.” In other words, it is divinely ordained that we express the unique and precious gifts of Spirit within us and not prevent that Spiritual Magnificence from experiencing fulfilling lives and making the world a better place for us all. There is no one exactly like you in the world, and you, like all of us, are needed to bring each special manifestation of the Divine into the world we all inhabit.

The Power for Good that indwells all life desires that we become aware of Its potency and possibility that must express through all creation, and we rely on this Power to self-actualize. Trusting the Presence which creates all out of Itself, we are wise to step up in consciousness and invite It to manifest through the instrumentation of our own beingness. We do God no favors by “playing small,” and it was the great Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart, who advised, “Let God be God in you!”

Be with us this Sunday, October 5^th, as we welcome a new month and begin the theme, “Fearless Beauty!” My topic will be, “It’s Okay to Shine.” Regular service begins at 1:00 P.M. ET and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are part of our online Sundays, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually. Our extended family members are a significant part of our Beloved Community.

Dear Ones,

Now that we have entered into the glorious, new season of autumn, we look forward to many interesting activities. Sweet memories of summertime remain; yet, there is renewed energy within and around us, and we feel a yearning to move into a greater expression of Life. It is a very natural desire to seek for the Something More, and we are never completely contented until we finally discover what this longing truly is. Like a migrating bird, a globetrotting individual, or a child at summer camp, we must return Home.

It is in discovering the Path that leads us back to Source that we deepen our spiritual connection and learn each step that brings us to greater Peace and Possibility. Once we realize that no number of external delights and distractions can ever fill this need for a truly satisfying life, our contentment deepens and we become free to be nurtured, sustained, and guided by Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom. Let’s keep learning the Truth.

Join us this Sunday, September 28^th, as we complete our monthly theme, “Lifetime Learners.” Rev. Mike’s topic will be, “C.S.L.: Continual Spiritual Learning.” Regular service begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are part of our online Sundays, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Now button to be with us virtually. Our extended family members are a significant part of our Beloved Community.
