New Symphony of Life Youth Program This Sunday, we are starting our brand new youth program, and we welcome children of all ages. We are creating a more structured environment of age appropriate prayers, songs, stories and lesson activities that give our youth the tools they need to bring spiritual principles into their daily lives for greater success. Monthly themes will include creating sacred space, nature, self-worth, gratitude, giving and more! We are very excited to launch these changes as of Sunday, July 7th. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming your children into our program on Sundays!  Member Profile We decided that we would like to tell you a little about some of the great folks who attend the Symphony of Life and we have decided to do it through this new section of the newsletter called our Member Profile. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Rev. Geri Woodson who is fairly new to the Symphony of Life. She has been a student of spirituality and metaphysics since she first read the Science of Mind text by Ernest Holmes in 1985. She loved taking classes at the church she was attending at the time. Before she knew it, she had completed all the courses and was ordained a minister in 1993. She has enjoyed teaching classes, leading guided meditations and performing weddings. Conducting funeral services is especially close to her heart. She loves telling people's stories, and creating a celebration of their life. Rev. Geri was a registered nurse for many years. She left the working world after her second child was born, and has spent that time volunteering in their many activities. She was the leader of her son's Boy Scout Troup and a co-leader of her daughter's Girl Scout Troop. For ten years she was an active participant in the Art Trek Program at Sunset Elementary School, teaching art to the kids. Her children are both teenagers now. Rev. Geri is now a Coordinator along with Lisa Love of our new Youth Program and has also joined the choir. She serves in our Prayer Ministry and is a member of our Board of Trustees. She says she enjoys being of service and is happily putting her ministerial hat back on and likes the way it feels. She says she is grateful for the warmth with which the Symphony of Life has welcomed her and she feels at home. Welcome home Geri!
