“An Intimately Connected and Growing Community”
Sunday, May 20th at 10am
with Special Guest,
Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn
The Law of Attraction is at work at the Rio Grande CSL. We are growing consciously, conscientiously, and in consciousness. Please join Rev. Martha as we host guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn, immediate past Community Spiritual Leader for the Centers for Spiritual Living. Dr. Hearn will share a bit about the Co-Creation Process she facilitated for the Board and staff, and explore everyone’s role in creating a community in which people can stay connected and close to one another as we welcome new people and grow larger.
Come and hear Dr. Hearn, meet the RGCSL process, and revel in community!

Give Until It Feels Good!
The Center is raising over $200,000 this year to take our SOM message out into the community (and that’s only about $40 a week per person.) For $40 we receive a loving community, a supportive ecclesiastical team, a place to gather and have classes, workshops, and offices, a community of like-minded people, a beautiful chapel, and a fabulous minister who enhances our spiritual growth! How has the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living changed your life and are you willing to share your time, treasure, and talent? Would you like more of what you’re getting? If the answer is “YES”, then
PLEASE GIVE UNTIL IT FEELS GOOD!

Spiritual Community
Connecting Community with Spirit
Our Spiritual Community is an open invitation to those who are seeking a deeper Spiritual experience centered in the Science of Mind- how our thoughts reflect cause and effect and how this is completely connected to our own spiritual experience. We also engage in spiritual practice to deepen our own personal connection with God.
This Sunday’s Service has a Promotional Video on our Website!

SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
IT IS THIS THING CALLED SERVICE.
Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living is a service run organization (that is, we need volunteers to support our center and all its activities). As we grow, we need even more volunteers. Now, you may be asking, “Why be in service?”
Here are some thoughts…
To share a skill
To get to know a community
Satisfaction from accomplishment
To have an impact
To learn something new
To make new friends
To be a part of a team
To stand up and be counted
JUST FOR FUN!
There is a team that has a vision to create a new, leading edge, Service Arm of the Center. The intent is to develop a service team who are trained, committed & powerful in serving the Ministers, Board, Staff & Community in the everyday logistics of getting things done in the light of Love.
If you would like to be a part of this creative team, please contact Dianne Martin, Kathy Mathiason, Pat Kenney, orMichelle Scholer.
