We are always called to embrace the New Life that is revealing Itself.  How can we be the Love of the Christ Consciousness?  Let's figure it out and "Hop to It!" 

Reminders & Connections

Rev. Gil Omstead is RGCSL's Spiritual Director. Rev. Gil's ministry and service is grounded in collaboration, community, and compassion. When he first came to RGCSL, he felt it was home. He’s excited about our magical journey together and for what is unfolding.Rev. Gil also works with his wife, Robyn, in their ministry, Live Inspired. They host Rockin' the Love, a weekly podcast, where they share insights from over 20 years of spiritual play, disappointments, triumphs, and growth as a couple. As a flautist and vocalist, Annie Benjamin has performed everything from country to classical, rock and roll to old timey gospel. As a performer, she feels at home on the theatrical stage, in concert halls and in piano bars and honky tonks. She has self-produced three albums of original material and her music has been featured on NPR and in films and documentaries. Annie believes passionately that the arts have the power to heal hearts and minds while inspiring to bring about social change.
