Draft Renovation Plan for 2013 and Beyond


Continuing Renovation

It’s truly heartwarming to walk around our Center and see the amazing amount of beauty and improvements that we’ve completed over the past few years. While we’re still catching up on some long-time deferred maintenance, your ideas, love, talents, time, energy, and donations are transforming our spiritual home.

We have drafted a plan for 2013. We think this is a great plan, and we have learned that we need to be flexible and open to the next-right-idea.

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.

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?
