Join us Sunday to reflect on how to express our deepest intentions with a sense of openness and acceptance. Knowing that our highest and best is only the next right thought away is the opportunity and the challenge of a powerful, balanced, and spirit-lead life.

CSLN Community Survey Results

The Community Survey is in! We had 76 responses. Some of the highlights are:
  •  59 out of 76 respondents (77.6%) said that one of the main reasons they attend CSLN is because the SOM Teaching/Philosophy has positively affected their lives
  • 62 of 76 respondents (81.6%) are attending our Sunday service in-person and/or online
  • Over 70% of you felt that we were heading in the right direction with the draft of the Vision, Mission and Core Values. We'll be discussing these as a community at the next Town Hall Meeting.
There were 240 comments throughout the survey, providing fabulous ideas and suggestions! There were also areas of improvement suggested— always room to improve! To ensure respect for everyone in our community, we removed the names of individuals mentioned in the comments. The instances were just a handful; those related to feedback about Sunday speakers were made available to Rev. Lynn so that every voice is heard.

For detailed results, click the link below. The next step will be discussing these results and ideas at the next Town Hall meeting in December. Stay tuned! You can read the full document here.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT 
DAVID ARNHOLTER, RScP

I know that the source and power of all is One! One Life, one Beauty, one Love. I am one with this Source. One with this Power.  One with this Beauty. I am one with Love. Love is my true nature. Love is who I truly am. Anything else is Fear from the ego, and I release it completely. I know that my search is over. I am consciously aware of the Power of Love as me. I have discovered the great Reality. I am awake to the realization of this Presence.  Everything I think, say, and do is governed by Love. A creative Spirit fills me, inspires me, and motivates me. I am free of all doubt and confusion. Knowing that I am an expression of Spirit and an expression of Love, I go forward with confidence. I go forward with a peaceful awareness of being guided by Love in all I do and say.    
I give thanks as I gratefully accept this truth, knowing I am always centered in the Power of Love. I give thanks for this Community, our Science of Mind teaching, the Board of Trustees and our Spiritual Leader, Rev. Lynn Bennett. I give thanks for me! Accepting Love as my life experience, I release my word into the universal law of mind knowing it has already made it so. 
And so it is.
