Change in approach



 The first renovation plan was produced in 2008 which created a five-year project list that would allow the Center to gradually catch up with the required overdue maintenance of our facility.





We continue to update the renovation list each year with new projects. What is exciting about the current list is that we have finished everything that was called for back in 2008. So what does this mean for the future? The current renovation list not only has built into it a proactive list of projects that will be needed in the years to come, like replacing the roofs visual barrier, and preparing to replace a few HVAC units per year (which may or may not need replacing since we have moved to having a maintenance visit three times a year) but we are also able to explore beatification projects like replacing the chairs in Room 10 along with new paint, sound equipment, and lighting. Maybe you have already seen some parts of the Center receiving a fresh coat of paint? Make sure to check in on Grinton Chapel and room 11! 



Remember we mentioned the visual barrier on the roof? This will be a major help to amount of leaks it creates when it rains. And will make life easier as we look at replacing the roof membrane in the next few years.



We have many ideas for the future that will keep our Center looking fresh and beautiful. Imagine what the exterior of the building would look like with a fresh coat of paint! Or even a monument sign? Look out beautiful people of the Center, the renovation team has your best interest at heart.

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, ...
