To affirm is to declare that something is 100 percent true, and to stand in that truth — even in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Affirmations are positive statements of intention that direct your focus to what you want to experience.
Affirmation:
I make it a point to practice self-care. I make an appointment with myself.

Science of Mind Magazine
Properly known as “Science of Mind Magazine: Guide for Spiritual Living”, a metaphysical magazine publication that has been around since 1927 by Dr. Ernest Holmes. The magazine inspires readers to create happier, richer and more satisfying lives by using spiritual principles. This monthly publication has 40,000 subscribers around the world and a Facebook following of more than 400,000. It is available at Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores and comes in print and digital formats. It is published by Centers for Spiritual Living, which is headquartered in Golden, Colorado.
Holmes developed a universal philosophy and tools for spiritual living that profoundly resonate to this day. His work provides us with a personal spiritual path, an understanding of our relationship with the Universe, and a connected and joyful approach to daily living.

KEEP LAS CRUCES BEAUTIFUL
We are now sponsoring park clean up at Apodaca Park located at 801 E Madrid in Las Cruces. Previously, we had a stretch of Valley Drive near Avenida de Mesilla, but due to safety concerns, the city no longer has clean up crews working road ways. They now have us clean up parks and path ways. CSL chose to take on Apodaca Park and we look forward to working with folks to provide Sacred Service by helping keep this park clean. Contact the office at 575-523-4847 (HUGS) to participate or email Amy Rohr, our member who has agreed to spearhead this project, at the office email address, csllascruces@csllascruces.org

Buying on Amazon?
They have a great program we participate in.
In order for the Center to get a small percentage of the sale, the sale has to be placed on the smile.amazon.com website!
If you just purchase from the regular old Amazon.com website, it is not credited to our church.
Please use the smile.amazon.com link to buy holiday gifts on Amazon.
This simple change will have your purchases on Amazon automatically credited to CSL's account. It's a donation program that funnels a small portion of the purchase price toward CSL.
Just go to smile.amazon.com
instead of amazon.com
These donations don't cost you anything extra, and you can be helping your spiritual home increase revenue.
NOTE: our legal name is First Church of Religious Science DBA Center for Spiritual Living, so look for First Church of Religious Science in Las Cruces for donations to be made to us.
Sign up on Amazon Smile so that $5 of every $1000 spent will be allocated to The Center for Spiritual Living
in the Heart of Downtown.

Dancing trees and leaves,
