July 2020
 

The board, Rev Rose and I have discussed reopening the Centre with precautions and with the Communities’ safety in mind and have voted to stay closed throughout July.  We will continue to monitor the affects of the virus in our area as more and more venues open.  Churches happen to be one of the  at-risk events, with singing being a way that the virus is spread furthest.  Even though we had a plan to circulate the air, we still felt that there was not enough evidence that all would be safe, even with physical distancing and masks.  I hope that you all understand that we have taken this to prayer and have looked for the highest guidance to make this decision, which wasn’t an easy one to make.  

We value each and everyone of you, and give thanks for your continuous support financially, as well as consciously. 

I hope you can continue to participate in Truth by watching our Sunday Services on Facebook or our Web Site.  If you cannot watch on Sunday, know that you can watch the service on the Web for a year.  There are Virtual connections that you can participate in and they are listed in the beginning of the Connect.

I am happy to announce that we will have an outdoor concert on Saturday, July 25, from 5:30 pm-7:00 pm.  You are invited to bring a picnic dinner for yourself, a blanket and or a chair, and sit and fellowship 6 feet apart as we have music by Nina/Rick/Roger/Carol and some others who want to join in.  It will be Sunshine Only, so if there is rain projected it will be cancelled.  Please pray for Sunshine!

Here are the links to connect you to our service on Sunday morning.  The Website is normally posted at 10, so you can watch earlier and start your summer day and events before 11.

We have been meeting virtually to chant and discuss Sanskrit mantras. In June, Cindy Roode shared Nature Journaling for one of our Tuesday night meetings. I am open to new topics that might be good for a 1-1/2 hour virtual meeting. We can share documents, take short breaks, etc. I believe we can also share virtual presentation files such as powerpoint presentations, etc. If you would like to schedule Nature Journaling again (or on a periodic basis), or another topic of choice, please contact me. Otherwise, we’ll continue to do the mantra chanting.

Personally, I am reading and practicing some of the breathing and consciousness meditations in Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatual book. I’m interested in pursuing the study of the pineal gland/pituitary gland, and energy flow. This relates to ancient breath and meditation practices, including meditations, yoga, Golden Flower breathing meditations, etc. The Becoming Supernatural book, to me, describes in modern scientific descriptions, what the ancients already knew and practiced about the movement of energy up the spine, into the brain, and back down the front in a cycle. They may have had mystical experiences (even without external help) through stimulating the pituitary gland, and from the chemical changes involving melatonin, serotonin, and other related internally generated substances. I believe it is all related with respect to our body physiology, spirituality, consciousness, and other human body / spiritual practices and connections. Let me know what you’re interested in and join me on Tuesday evenings. Our breath in mantra chanting, as well as other meditative methods, connects us each personally with the Divine.

Working with the Master

Mind of the Universe…

~Rev. Rose Houston

There is a wonderful way of working with the Mastermind of the Universe. It works from the same basis of God as Principle -  one of the basic teachings in Unity. I learned this principle from Napoleon Hill, who taught it as one of his 17 principles of personal achievement.

Napoleon Hill defined the Mastermind Principle as follows:

Making a Joyful Noise

Each Sunday we join together in Song, uplifting our voices to make a joyful noise for truth.   Music is such an important part of our message and sometimes it not only enhances the message but IS the Message.

We have been blessed with Kirk and Gary serving us for many years and for their time and dedication we are immensely grateful.  We have also been blessed by various singers throughout the years and our thanks go out to all who have added their talents in making a joyful noise unto the Lord.

As we moved into virtual Sunday Services and physical distancing we have had to change our music by using electronic recordings from various artists.  I have gotten great feedback from all of you on the new music format.  Personally, it is also easier for me to have songs that enhance and support the message that doesn’t require a lot of time to learn or planned for.  One of the items that came up during our HOPCOF workshop with Rev. Steve was that the music needed to change and improve.  The pandemic forced the change to the music for service and going forward I will be maintaining the current format of recorded artists. 

I thought that you might like to listen to the artists on youtube or support them by going to their website for music that you have liked and may want to own:

There are more artists that I have only used one or two songs.  I will include more information in future Connects.  If you ever hear a song and want to know who is singing, please email me at caytomerlin@gamail.com.  I would love to hear your thoughts about the music, also, if you would like to share.

After we return from our physical distancing and it is again safe to socialize we will have Kirk and Gary back for a Celebration of Thanks.  They have also agreed to make themselves available for special music, weddings, life celebrations and anytime we need them, for which I am also grateful.
Keep a song in your heart!

Board Notes
w/ President Mark Klotz

 

Hello All: 
 
Hope everyone is doing well. As a board we have reached out to all of our members to see how you are doing and if there are any needs that we can further assist you with. As of present most are doing very well other than a few prayer requests which is perfectly normal. 
 
Our meeting was primarily about when to re-open. As many of you know by now, we are going to remain closed for now and review again at the July meeting. This has been frustrating for many, but as a board of directors we have to look at the well-being and safety of our members. Even when we do open it will be somewhat limited and it will be your freedom of choice to decide to participate or not. Either way, we are so blessed to have gone forward with the video streaming enabling us to deliver our message to you wherever you are.
 
Now for other updates: Lyn has created a journal on how to do her job should that ever be necessary. Larry & Kimberly are prepared to step in if ever required.   We did this as a precaution when Covid-19 began.
 
The exact time to do the septic line to the church should be released for sometime in July.
 
We are asking for bids on doing the French Drain as well as re-paving the parking lot.
 
I want you to know that your prayers for the perfect Minister are being heard. We have had some interest... but no cigar yet.  Please keep your positive thoughts and energy focused for that perfect Minister for The Spiritual Centre of Girard, Ohio 
In closing, I wish to thank each and everyone of you for your continued faith and support of your Unity Spiritual Centre and it's board directors. Without your love offerings of talent, time and money that we would be able to forward the message as we do- so I say this with the deepest feelings of gratitude:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, 🤗
