Discover Gratitude and Set Your Intentions: Special Thanksgiving Eve Service Tomorrow

Wednesday evening at 7 pm, we invite you to join us for a special Thanksgiving Eve service at the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa. This service promises to be an enriching experience, filled with music, inspiration, and a unique opportunity to set your intentions for the coming year.

We are thrilled to announce that the service will feature the melodious voices of Christopher Fritzsche and the Thanksgiving band. Their uplifting music will surely touch your heart and set the tone for an evening of reflection and gratitude.

Dr. Edward Viljoen, our senior minister, will be delivering a message. His insights and wisdom have always been a source of inspiration and guidance for our community, and we are eager to hear his thoughts as we approach this season of thankfulness.

A highlight of the evening will be the chance to participate in a meaningful tradition: filling out your 2024 Thanksgiving Intention Card. This is a powerful exercise where you write what you intend to be thankful for next year. The Center will keep these cards and mail them back to you next November, offering a beautiful reminder of your journey and aspirations. Don’t forget to bring a pen or pencil and a postage stamp for this activity.

If you are unable to attend the service in person but would like to participate in this intention-setting tradition, please reach out to our Communications Officer, Allan Yeager, at allan.yeager@cslsr.org. He will arrange for the 2024 Thanksgiving intention cards to be mailed to you. Additionally, you can pick up these cards at the information desk in the Social Hall.

For those who prefer to join us virtually, the service will be broadcast on the same channels as our 9 am Sunday service. You can access the live stream by clicking [here](https://cslsr.org/new-sunday-links/).

This Thanksgiving Eve service is more than just a gathering; it's an opportunity to connect with our community, reflect on our blessings, and set our intentions for the future. Whether in person or online, let’s come together to celebrate the spirit of gratitude and look forward with hope and anticipation to the year ahead.

Join us at 7 pm for an evening that promises to be full of music, inspiration, and community spirit. Let’s embrace the power of gratitude together!

"Oneness" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

#1 - Oneness Spirit (whatever we choose to call the infinite “something”) is the source of all that is, and Spirit is all that is. Everything is made of Spirit and is a unique expression of The Infinite. What is Oneness? We hear this word quite a bit at the Center, but what does it really mean, and how is it useful in my life? These are just some of the questions we will answer in tonight's Wednesday Evening Service as we embark upon our journey exploring the ten core concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit. Join us at 7pm for music, freshly baked bread and tea, and an inviting community where we will learn all about Oneness. See you soon! -Russ

"Spirit Is An Artist" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

Every breath we take, every new friend we make; the tallest snowy mountaintop to the darkest depths of the sea--all is an act of creation. In fact, because Spirit is all there is, that means that we, too, are endlessly creating. Whether we know it or not. In tonight's Wednesday Evening Service, we continue our exploration of the Ten Core Concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit with the third--the creative nature of Spirit. We'll share in spiritual exercises designed to grow your awareness of your creative nature so you can tap into it to paint the life of your dreams. And all will be wrapped in an atmosphere of music, freshly baked bread, and loving community. See you soon! -Russ

Your Friend Within - New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

For much of my life I went it alone. I thought I had to do everything myself, that there was nobody who was willing to help me. This was a challenging way to approach my life--and it was a difficult path, it turns out, I didn't need to follow. In our experiential New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service (try saying that three times fast!), I'll share with you a spiritual concept that I wish I knew when I was determined to go it alone: how we can nurture a relationship with what Ernest Holmes calls "The Friend Within," that aspect of our spiritual existence that is available to us 24/7 as our coach and best friend. Tonight will be filled with music, we will set intentions, and we will connect with our Friend Within so that we might have all the love and support needed to bring that intention to life. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Center at 7pm. -Russ
