Reviews 

Our Annual Membership Meeting was held on Sunday March 6th immediately following the 10am celebration.  There were 46 active members in attendance.  Rev. Marian Moon opened with a powerful treatment.  There were elegant and succinct reports from the President and Treasurer, Csynthia Savage and Terry Dadd.  Rev. McLean also gave a report, touching lightly on topics such as our finances, our office and Sunday locations, the work of practitioners, the CSl conference in San Diego, and thanks and appreciation for all the volunteers  who do so much and support our work.

 

If you were not on hand and did not get a copy of our first Annual Report, please make sure you pick one up at the Staff Table.

 

Prior to the Annual Meeting, we also announced our 2010 Ministry Honors.  They are as follows:

 

Ministry Honors

 

"Founders' Award"       Ms. Kelly Britt

   for extraordinary long-time service   

"Pace e Bene"            Ms. Bunny Hull

   for being an inspirational presence

"Light Expressing"   Rev. Marian Moon
for walking the talk

                   "Making A Difference"    Rev. Keith Cox                  
for principle-based action in the world   

 

We feel that it's important to let people know just how much they matter to us, and these four individuals have made powerful contribtuions, over time, to our community and our world.

The Women of Spirit honored Rev. Marian G Moon on Saturday, March 19th.  Here's what Bunny Hull said about the day:   

CSL- LA's "Women Of Spirit" honored Rev. Marian Moon as our Spiritual Matriarch, as someone who has truly walked the talk and given us so much.  The afternoon began as we surrounded her in a circle of love, each one sharing a little piece of our personal history with her....a cutting from our garden, a meaningful spiritual reading, a photo of someone who had inspired us on our journey.  We each brought a gift of something personal  with which we were willing to part.  We laughed and cried and then enjoyed a beautiful meal to which we all contributed.  It was truly a great day to remember.  Marian was beaming!

 

This was a beautiful way for our Women to affirm that Rev. Moon truly is "Light Expressing."  (PS...the men love Marian too!)

Keys  to The Kingdom      An Advanced Course In Prosperity

SOM 299       Wednesdays  @ 7pm
May 4, 11, 18, 25, June 1, 8, 15, 22

John McLean, facilitating

Keys to the Kingdom is an advanced course in prosperity consciousness  It has two purposes.   First, it is designed to help you identify and change your limited beliefs about abundance, happiness, balance, and success.   Second, it is intended to help you see the relationship between your spiritual growth and your participation in your spiritual community-CSL-LA.

 

As a tool for spiritual growth, this class will require an extraordinary level of commitment designed for those of you who are ready and willing to take the very large leap in faith necessary to transform a consciousness of lack and limitation into a consciousness of true abundance.

 

This curriculum was created by Rev. David Owen-Ritz.  In my ten years of teaching principle (JM), it has been the most effective in advancing students to a higher level of

understanding through joyful yet rigorous spiritual practice (which includes a deeply rewarding experiment with tithing) than any other. This is an advanced course in that it requires a very conscious commitment to "do the work."

 

This is a course based on the spiritual principle of tithing; therefore you must be willing to tithe of your "time, talent and treasure" as well as attend all eight classes and complete all of the assignments.  $50 for class materials (which includes seven (7) weekly cd's and a Course Workbook) will be collected on the evening of the first class.

  

If you are willing to make this commitment, you will pro- foundly alter your experience of life's possibilities--that's a guarantee.   This is the class that might change your life!  It changed mine. 

 

Pre-registration is required and this is the only 200 level class that is considered a "closed class" (single night attendance is not feasible because of the progressive nature of the curriculum).  Registration must be confirmed by April 27^th so that materials can be ordered from the creator or the curriculum.
