DR. MITCH JOHNSON
"Do You Expect Enough?"

Expectation is defined in the dictionary as "anticipating something is so." We live in a law-based universe which always honors what we expect. Come learn how to expect more out of life.

Town Hall: Building Updates & Future Options
After Sunday Service on June 5
Upstairs Classroom & Zoom
As many of you know, our building is in need of structural repair as well as cosmetic updates. We have been in the process of compiling the list of things that need to be done and the costs associated with them. We have also been exploring our options to pay for these items. In order to make sure we are open to all possibilities, we have also received information from 2 commercial realtors to evaluate selling the building and relocating. This Sunday June 5, we will review all of the info with the community answer questions, provide further info, and begin our work together to determine the future of our space. If you are a member of CSLN, you will be emailed documents such as repair estimates and commercial value of the building. If you are not a member, you will need to reach out to Annie at admin@cslnashville.org to receive these documents if you wish. Please note that only members of CSLN will have voting privileges in regards to the future of our building. If you would like to join online, click here for the Zoom info on our website.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
MARIETTA CARTER, RScP
The Divine Presence is the creator and sustainer of all life. Today, I acknowledge that Spirit is my source, my substance, and my universe. With passionate conviction in Unity, Spirit and I and everything else are all one.
As fire warms my body, as food strengthens my soul, and as sunshine raises my spirits, I know that my conscious communion with Spirit is essential to my well-being. I breathe in goodness. I open myself to knowing that God is love, and therefore I am love. God is beauty, and therefore I am beauty. God is peace, and therefore I am peace. Should any doubt or fear arise, I let those feelings pass knowing they are not mine. I accept that I have done the best I could with what I have known. I affirm that I am never alone in any decision. Divine right action and timing are the law of my life.
I am grateful for the knowledge that prayer simulates my thoughts and mind to higher thoughts and noble deeds. I am grateful for the knowledge that I am one with Spirit. With gratitude for Spirit’s guidance, I release my word to Creative Power, which carries it forth into manifestation.
And so it is.
