Beloveds,

I don’t know why I was surprised to see our March theme is visioning. It’s been put in front of me strongly by Spirit in the last month. The Cosmic 2x4 has been swinging closer and closer to my head and I can feel the wind as it goes by now. Visioning, for those who don’t know, is entirely different from visualization or from brainstorming. As I once heard Sally Kasner say, if you end up with a doable project at the end of a visioning session, you have a goal, not a vision.

Visioning is a form of active meditation. It’s what our leadership did when they caught the vision of a world that works for everyone. The Judeo-Christian scriptures say that without a vision, the people perish (Proverbs, 29:18). What that means is that without that connection to Spirit and without that shared glimpse of the world as it could be, we all go dry. We start looking out for Number One and forget that we ARE One.

I’m excited to get into visioning. I never learned it the way it was originally taught. It’s even more yummy than I ever understood, and I’ve always thought it was super yummy. To that end, I am offering the opportunity to join a visioning group. I’m starting a group of no more than twelve meeting for about an hour and a half once or twice a month, on Zoom and starting in April. Please contact me directly and let me know whether you prefer day or evening, weekday or weekend. Let’s begin living in the world that works for everyone.

Greetings to all as we look forward to Spring, a time of renewal and new possibilities. After the last year of challenge, we can anticipate new beginnings. The trees and flowers will blossom, as will our hopes and resolutions. This time is filled with joy and gladness, as our connection to the precepts of Science of Mind and to each other is re-invested with meaning.

Ernest Holmes says that “one who will comply with [the Science of Mind] teachings… shall be able to bring greater possibilities and happier conditions into his experience...as his understanding unfolds, his possibilities of attainment will increase”.

We are all on a journey of discovery, always striving to be open to the possibilities that Life has to offer us. Let us move into ever greater connection with Spirit and with the joy and gladness that are available to us always.

As the year unfolds, we can look forward to a time when we will once again be together on the physical plane. Until then, we are able to be together in spirit through the wonderful technology available to us. I know I am renewed and refreshed after every Sunday service, and I wish the same for each and every one of you.

Love to all,

The month of January, 2021 continued to present challenges to the Visitation team. During the month, due to social distancing, closing of Retirement homes, and hospitals to visitors, the team relied on telephone calls to make visits. During the month of January 2021, nine (9) team members reported visiting 56 separate individuals, 99 actual telephone visits were reported. One (1) team member reported making a food drop, and a picnic lunch to one (1) individual. During the month the team members attempted to contact everyone on the Center's Membership List. The team will continue checking in with the members monthly or at least until we are able to re-open the center. In addition, one team member reported participating in one (1) Virtual Prayer Circles for an individual undergoing a medical procedures.

Would you like a visit, telephone visit, telephone call, Prayer Circle or Virtual Prayer Circle by the Visitation Team for yourself or another? A Virtual Prayer Circle is performed when it is impractical to be at the hospital. A Virtual Prayer Circle is where each member goes into prayer at a designated time, wherever they are, for an individual undergoing a medical procedure. If this is for you, please contact the Pastoral Care Coordinator, David Sharer RScP at (928) 771 2791. The team loves to serve by making visits and praying with you.
