RGCSL Healing Circle
We are pleased to have Linda Fellion offering Reiki healing this Sunday. Reiki is a hands-on healing technique that imparts Chi, Prana, or Life Force energy into the recipient, which helps the individual heal themselves. It works on the physical, mental and emotional levels of the client, and is completely painless and most often very relaxing.

Our Exchange Table Benefits More than RGCSL Members
When Kathleen Schweizer looked at the coats on the exchange table, she saw how they could fill a need outside of the Center. With Nancy’s assistance, she found warm clothing that has been around the table a while, gathered it up, and has taken it to be distributed to unhoused people who can use it. Thank you, Kathleen, for extending the reach of the Center outside our walls! Seeing a need and filling it – that’s how we make a difference.
Please remember to bring gently used things for the Exchange Table. They are needed here and in the wider community. Take what you need and donate as you are able. We are all blessed by helping one another.

Two for the Road (Allison Davis and Steve Hill TWO FOR THE ROAD: Allison Davis and Steve Hill had talked on and off for years about getting together to just jam for a few hours. That turned out to be so much fun, they had had to continue! Although their musical backgrounds differed somewhat, they found enough common ground to inspire each other. They’ve been busy, creating a repertoire that includes many of the standard ballads, bossa, and swing tunes but with the addition of some blues, folk, and pop.
