Sound Team Update from Nick Grizzle

Well, this week's service was full band and vocals, which we balanced on the new board to sound wonderful. We'll have a kirtan chant service this Wednesday, and we have installed the new snake to add on those extra channels on the board, so it will be even bigger than before.

What's new:

The new snake has been installed, meaning we now have about 30 channels available from the stage. We will also be able to run the new light board through this new snake (the new lights will be installed soon, they are currently lighting the statues onstage). The board is now labeled on the right hand side as a permanent installation with EQs set. All one has to do is set the levels on the faders! So much easier and less intimidating for new sound engineers to jump in. If you've ever thought sound engineering was too much to understand, now is the time to get involved! We've made it easy to get started and you can pick up new tips along the way.

thanks!

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, ...
