Meditation at 10 a.m.
Service at 10:30 AM
Followed by Fellowship in our Social Hall
This talk calls listeners to embrace love as a principled spiritual discipline and active force for transformation in a time of unprecedented division and darkness. Drawing on my spiritual teachings, including the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., tand he wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh, the talk offers seven practical disciplines for staying grounded in love — from meditation and mindfulness to forgiveness and speaking truth with compassion. It closes with a invitation to make the choice of our time: to walk as a love warrior and choose light over darkness.

Gracie Woods is the June RGCSL
Volunteer of the Month
Volunteer of the Month
Of course Gracie is the volunteer of the month -- isn't she the one you always find at the back of the sanctuary with sign up sheets every Sunday!?!?Somehow we neglected to publicly acknowledge her part in the magic of our transition, but she was an essential part of organizing the moving sale. We honestly couldn't have done it without her.
Always jumping into the middle of whatever big plans RGCSL seems to have brewing, Gracie is a huge, huge blessing to our community. Thank you, Grace! Find yourself something nice from the bookstore and take 10% off!

Burying Caesar - June 12
"Burying Caesar is an Alt/Pop duo based in both Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Columbus, Ohio, comprised of Roddy Cochran and Hovey Jude Corbin. While the band was formed in Albuquerque in 2014, the pair has had to take their music virtual since Roddy moved across the country to pursue his PhD in Quantum Physics. Burying Caesar now meets weekly on Zoom calls to write, record, and edit their original music, mixed and produced in Hovey's home studio. In light of Roddy's absence, Hovey recruited Alexandria Van Why (his amazingly talented girlfriend) to continue performing as Burying Caesar without leaving their signature vocal harmonies behind. Self-proclaimed troubadours and avid fans of storytelling, Burying Caesar hopes to guide you through fable and fantasy, on adventures large and small, all in a matter of minutes and from the comfort of your seats."

From Home Office
Every Coin and Dollar Counts!
Don’t underestimate the power of your spare change! Our Change for Change! project is underway, and each coin and dollar you bring moves us closer to our goal of funding 10 Science of Mind Magazine subscriptions for the CSL Incarcerated Persons Ministry. As you head to service each Sunday, grab a handful of coins (or bills!) and drop them in. Small, consistent acts create meaningful impact—let’s make every week count!
🗓️ Collection runs through the month of June (8 Sundays!)
🎯 Our goal: 10 subscriptions = $500 — let’s see if we can make it happen!
Together, we’re proving that even the smallest change can make a powerful difference.
