CSL Ordains 32 Ministers of
Soulful Living
On October 20th, in a sacred, grace-filled ordination ceremony, 32 members of our CSL community were ordained as Ministers of Soulful Living. All had completed CSL's three levels of mentoring and are now certifed to minister soulfully to people's spiritual needs.
The ordination followed an intensive training, led by Bill Bauman and co-facilitated by Rev. Debbi Brown, a gifted minister in our community. Those who participated were inspired and touched at the deepest level. In describing her experience, Jo Anne Smth said, "The ministerial blessings are really showing up, not just deep within but without and everywhere. Amazing!"

Thank you from Donna
As some of you may know, Donna had hip replacement surgery two weeks ago. The surgery was a great success and Donna is happily home under the watchful and caring eye of Bill. She is vigilant about her physical therapy and is confident that she will be up and about and better than ever very soon. Donna so appreciates all the loving thoughts, cards, flowers and good wishes that have come her way. Thanks to all for your kindness.
