Dear Ones,

Our founder, Ernest Holmes, lived simply yet beautifully, sharing his abundance with others, both spiritually and materially. The movement he began in Southern California one hundred years ago has found its way into open hearts and minds throughout the world, and we are blessed to be one of the long-standing Centers of Spiritual Living in our country.  Dr. Holmes helped people understand that Gods is loving, giving, and life-sustaining, never withholding Good from Its beloved creation, which is divinely designed to live fully and freely.

As co-creators with the Divine, we are capable of thriving in Spirit, even while moving through challenging situations.  Peace and Harmony underlie all circumstances, and it is in taking a deep dive into this Reality than we are able to experience the joy and freedom of truly thriving and inspiring others to live their lives peacefully, powerfully, and joyfully, as well.

 Please note: Our Sunday Celebration next Sunday, July 19^th, will be virtual only, and you are welcome to be with us on Zoom at 1:00 p.m. ET, following the directions on our website: www.cslphilly.org  We return to UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, next Sunday, July 26^th. Continuing our monthly theme, “Celebrate Everything,” we’ll be looking at how we are “Born to Thrive.” As we reclaim our spiritual heritage, inviting the Presence within to express freely through us, we move gracefully from any sense of striving to the joy of real thriving!

Great news for students: Look for information on 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,” beginning September 10^th, also on Zoom.

Dear Ones,

Having wondered at times, what comprises a person or group of people considered “less fortunate,” the best answer I have come up with, “those not yet awake.” Those who live lives of reasonable comfort and freedom are likely aware of the Divine Presence which indwells, loves, and sustains us, even in troubling times and situations.  We are extremely fortunate simply in remembering the Source of Life, the Ground of Being, the Creator and Supplier of all Good. As the Master Teacher wisely stated,  “The Kingdom is within,” and this is the beginning of our awakening to the Truth that sets us free and keeps us free.

Once connected with Spirit within and all around us, we are no longer at the mercy of the physical conditions and external challenges that may be considered “misfortunes” and our lives are transformed from limitation to freedom.  Every sentient being is divinely designed to enjoy the goodness intended for us from the foundation of the Universe, and we can help others discover it by wisely and compassionately lifting them to a joyous and free expression of God’s Life.

Come be with us in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET as we focus on, “The Good Life.” If you are out of the area, please join our Celebration online by going to www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Online” button..  Our Spiritual Community includes both those physically present and all who join us online.

Dear Ones,

Completing the month of June and its focus on, “Conscious, Caring Choices,” we are ready enter July with the intention to “Celebrate Everything!” Beginning with looking back 250 years to the inception of our democracy, we are wise to re-read the Constitution, beginning with, “We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .” Equality and sovereignty are at the heart of this document, with the government responsible for upholding these “God-given” rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

It is up to each of us to consciously, caringly choose to give thanks for how we may personally implement the core values on which our country was founded. Having been created of the One Life, all people are to be honored and respected as individualized expressions of this Life. We celebrate Unity in diversity, as well as each person’s choices, so long as they do not harm or hinder other people’s rights and preferences for living a free and joyful life.

Yes, it is possible to engage in living fully, freely, and joyfully, especially when we remember that God is our Source and all people are “family.” It is not necessary to criticize or dismiss another’s point of view but to remember our divine connection with all, understanding that we need both our deep connection to Spirit and our unity with all people.

You are invited to be with us in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, as we focus on, “The Joyful Freedom of Interdependence.” If you are out of the area, please join our Celebration online by going to www.cslphilly.org .  Our Spiritual Community includes both those physically present and all who join us online. Please note that our Sunday Celebration on July 19^th will be virtual only, and you are welcome to be with us on Zoom, following the directions on our website.

Whenever we may experience confusion or difficulties in our lives, we are wise to remember that our Practitioner Core is standing by to work with you in consciousness to connect you more deeply with Spirit and to lift you to a greater awareness of possibility. Our Licensed Practitioners are all listed on their dedicated Practitioner page on our website. They offer the gift of a “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Additionally, you may place a request into our Prayer Chest.

Dear Ones,

There seem to have been a great many “unconscious” choices made by people who have brought chaos and divisiveness into our world. Fortunately, there are a greater number of conscious, compassionate  people, like you and me, who are working in consciousness to bring about a greater Vision of harmony and unity into the human experience.

The reason this Vision is in the process  of successful unfoldment is that Divine Harmony forever underlies all appearing friction, and, in truth, we are all One with God and with one another. Made out of the same Divine Substance, every sentient being is alive in Spirit’s Life, interwoven with each other’s Divine Essence, and designed to live together in Love.

This last Sunday in June concludes our theme, “Conscious, Caring Choices,” and my topic will be, “Love Thy Neighbor.” You are invited to be with us in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA this at 1:00 p.m. ET if you are in the area; otherwise, join our Celebration online  by going to www.cslphilly.org and clicking on the orange “Watch Now” button on the home page. Our Spiritual Community includes both those physically present and everyone who joins us online.

As we study the principles of Science of Mind and apply them conscientiously in our lives, we find ourselves experiencing greater peace and harmony, as well as increased goodness and joy. Still, there are times when it may be wise to reach out for spiritual assistance.  Our Licensed Practitioners are available for appointments, either in person, on the phone, or online and bring compassionate ears and a readiness to support you in providing spiritual-mind treatment. Our Practitioners are all listed on their dedicated page on our website. To get know them better, you may ask one of them for a brief “Three-Minute-Miracle” session after Sunday Celebration.  Additionally, 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 this month’s theme, “Conscious, Caring Choices,” we remember that it is our joyous responsibility to plant wholesome seeds of thought and feeling into the nurturing presence of Infinite Mind, doing our best to be mindful of choosing to focus on the highest and best possibilities and anticipate their wonderful fruition.  We are always at choice with regard to the direction of our attention, and we train our minds not to dwell on anything less than that which is for the greatest good for all, as well as for ourselves. We know that our intention is “father” to its fulfillment, and so we choose wisely and lovingly.

This Sunday, Father’s Day, I’ll be speaking on, “Passionate, Compassionate Intention,” celebrating our co-creative ability to establish healthy, joyous, loving objectives in Mind and to delight in their fulfillment in our lives and in the world.  You are invited to be with us in person at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET if you are in the area; otherwise, join our Celebration online by going to www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange Watch Online button.  Our Spiritual Community includes both those physically present and everyone who joins us online.
