Hi Friends

Nick has installed our new Allen and Heath, 40 channel mixing board over the past couple of days and we had our first band rehearsal for tomorrow morning’s service today to get it all up and running.

I asked that we invest in a new board for two reasons; our old Mackie board was starting to make dying noises and I didn’t want us caught in the lurch should it catastrophically fail, and we had outgrown the Mackie’s 24 channels.

What I didn’t know (Nick told me but I didn’t realize it would be so extreme) was how much clarity and spaciousness this new board would bring to our sound just by virtue of being a new and better board. The only experience I have with “sound” has been in my job here with our old Mackie board and when I heard the sound through the new board today, both onstage and in the house I was astounded at the difference. It makes the old Mackie board (God bless that little workhorse and all it did for us) sound kind of muddy and “noisy” in comparison.

I wanted to let you all know so that you can enjoy it tomorrow as you hear sound through it for the first time. Of course we may have little bugs to work out here and there as is the case with such a major equipment
upgrade, and your constructive feedback and comments are as always welcome and invited, but I invite you to bask in the glory of such a wonderful sonic improvement in our home.

With Excitement and Appreciation to Jan and our Board of Trustees for making it possible to acquire this new mixing board and to our sound crew – all of them for continuing to work so hard to bring us beautiful, clear, moving sound,

Chris

Location:New Sound Board

Science of Mind Archives Relocated and Reopened

I have wanted to visit Unity Village since I first became aware of it, and being at the opening celebration of the Science of Mind archives gave me a perfect opportunity to do that. I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be. At the celebration dinner, it was interesting to hear the presentations of those who spoke not only of the early days of Ernest Holmes but also of the Science of Mind magazine. Many of us no doubt remember our first introduction to Science of Mind, as I certainly do. For me, it was the Science of Mind magazine through which I then found the church. At the archive,s it was fun to be able to read and photograph the page from the Science of Mind magazine on the day I was born. How easy it is to take what we have for granted, and as I reflect with appreciation for the teaching and the preservation of the archives, I ask myself what am I doi...

Something New: Volunteer Recognition Team at the Center

As the name implies, the Volunteer Recognition Team (VRT) was created to recognize and acknowledge the numerous groups of volunteers who devote their time, energy, and hearts in support of the Center. Some groups are visible, some work more quietly, behind the scenes. For instance, did you know that the Jail Ministry group provides books and Spiritual Coaching to inmates in Sonoma County? Or that Project Sleep Warm works all year long to produce and distribute quilts to those in need? Starting in July of this year, one volunteer group a month will be recognized for their support of the Center. You will see their table in the social hall, and will be given a flyer upon entering the sanctuary explaining what they do, and any help they may need. Don’t miss the video of a volunteer from that group explaining how being part of the group has touched their lives. The video will be presented at the end of the first service of the month and posted on the Center’s social media. This year, ...
