Let’s come together to understand IT!!!  Whether you are new to Science of Mind, or you’ve discovered Science of Mind and still find some of it a bit hard to grasp, or you’ve been here for a long time and would like a refresher of what “IT” is, (hint--IT is known elsewhere by many names--such as God.) THIS is the class for you.  Using easy-to-understand language. Rev Dr Edward Viljoen has paraphrased the first four chapters of the Science of Mind text turning what may be difficult language into enjoyable reading, making it a steppingstone for a deeper dive into our beloved philosophy. 

Read each chapter before the class.  

Each class will include meditation,

discussion, and interactive play on zoom.

What's the best, funniest t-shirt you ever saw? My brother-in-law has one that simply says "YES DEAR". He wears it proudly, and his wife loves it too.

Father's Day is coming up. And instead of just passing out flowers, we thought we'd have a little fun. So we are going to have a Father's Day t-shirt parade. And because every one of us either is a father or has had one, this parade is open to people of all gender persuasions, and all ages.

So on Jun 20, wear your favorite t-shirt and join the parade. And if you will be with us virtually on that day, we hope you'll send a picture of yourself wearing your favorite t-shirt, and we'll put it on virtual parade.(We'll need your picture by June 14. Email them to Rev. Myrna).

Let's have some fun together! 

Our dear friend, Leraine Horstmanshoff, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, which she is describing as "a grand awakening". Cancer treatment is expensive so her musical friends are gathering for a FUN Raiser to help pay for her treatment. 

Watch the uplifting video Leraine has made about the gift of her journey with cancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g2ejwZSEds

and join Leraine and friends on June 27th for an amazing musical event.

Dear Spiritual Family,

Since our closure on March 15, 2020, your Center Leadership has done our best to follow the science and the CDC and state guidelines regarding how to keep each other safe during the pandemic. We closed, reopened, closed again—each time operating in a way that best protected those who must attend because they are essential to put on the Sunday Service as well as any who chose to attend.  

The latest CDC guidelines and county protocols have told us that those who are fully vaccinated can safely gather in full worship services without wearing a mask. 

Beginning immediately our policy is as follows:

· Those who are fully vaccinated do not need to wear masks at any time in our building

· Those who are not vaccinated are requested to wear masks while moving about, or while singing when seated

· EVERYONE is free to wear a mask if they feel safer doing so while in a group 

· ALL are asked to act with integrity and to withhold any judgments of others based on whether or not they are wearing a mask

· If you are not feeling well and/or have a temperature, please do not attend

Please remember we have community members whose medical status prevents them from being vaccinated so let’s all work together to create an environment in which they can safely participate in our Sunday service. 

Food and beverage services have resumed.

CHILDREN 

We are continuing to evaluate what will be necessary to safely resume Youth Church. Our planned target date to resume their gathering, is when school starts. Children are welcome to be seated along with your household. If you have children and feel ready for Youth Classes to resume (and/or if you want to volunteer to help make that safely happen) please let us know. 

Thank you for your patience with all the changes and for continuing to be part of our wonderful Spiritual Family. We hope to see you soon!!  

Love and Light,

Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living
