 Centre Closed Through September 5th

 
Dear Beloveds,
 
The Board of Trustees met Sunday to discern the Centre’s reopening plans as we navigate the Covid-19 pandemic. The Survey was sent to over 150 people and 33 people responded.   There were 18 people that said they would come but would not adhere to all of the rules, and 15 people said no, they would not attend.  The Board considered these results as well as the fact that no air conditioning could be used in the hottest month of the year and the additional work needed for the staff to maintain a safe environment.  In addition we considered the current Covid numbers which increased in Trumbull County and the fact that churches are considered high risk due to being indoors in a group. With all of those considerations the Board of Trustees decided to hold off on reopening the Centre until September 5, at the earliest, but will also address it at the next board meeting scheduled for Sunday, August 16.
 
Our Sunday Services continue to be available on FB and the Web and we hope you are enjoying them and getting your spiritual food to keep you nourished!

We have been meeting virtually to chant and discuss Sanskrit mantras.  I am open to new topics that might be good for a 1-1/2 hour virtual meeting. We can share documents, take short breaks, etc. I believe we can also share virtual presentation files such as powerpoint presentations, etc.  

Personally, I am reading and practicing some of the breathing and consciousness meditations in Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatual book. I’m interested in pursuing the study of the pineal gland/pituitary gland, and energy flow. This relates to ancient breath and meditation practices, including meditations, yoga, Golden Flower breathing meditations, etc. The Becoming Supernatural book, to me, describes in modern scientific descriptions, what the ancients already knew and practiced about the movement of energy up the spine, into the brain, and back down the front in a cycle. They may have had mystical experiences (even without external help) through stimulating the pituitary gland, and from the chemical changes involving melatonin, serotonin, and other related internally generated substances. I believe it is all related with respect to our body physiology, spirituality, consciousness, and other human body / spiritual practices and connections. Let me know what you’re interested in and join me on Tuesday evenings. Our breath in mantra chanting, as well as other meditative methods, connects us each personally with the Divine.

When life gets difficult, one of the things that people frequently say to me is, “I just want to be happy.” Over the years, several friends have complained to me, “Since I’ve retired something in me has changed, and I don’t feel happy any more. Are you happy, Rose?”   READ MORE...

Making a Joyful Noise
 
This month’s featured Artist is Faith Rivera https://faithrivera.com/
 
 

Faith provides videos to listen to at her site or you can find her on Youtube.  “3 Minutes Can Change Your Life!  https://faithrivera.com/inspiration_sunnysongs

Yes a SONG can heal a heart, be your morning cheerleader, welcome a newborn to this life or say goodbye.  It can remind you that you are amazing when you forget and help you to do the hardest thing - forgive.  The perfect lyrics & music can share your organization's message to the world and it can even bring a community together.

I LOVE to create music, videos & more that can support & inspire as we rise from a low or celebrate that next high! I'm about going for our grandest dreams yet, enjoying the ride, and expressing our naturally brilliant selves along the way.
There's alot of happy stuff here to Love You Up so  Take A Listen, Take A Look & remember to keep shining bright like the Everyday SuperStar that you are :)

 
Hugs,      Faith

Board Notes
w/ President Mark Klotz

 
Hello to our wonderful members:

As you know by now, the board decided to hold off on re-opening the Centre for another month and I have to say I believe it was for all the right reasons.  By now you should have received a note from Cay regarding our decision so I will leave it at that. 

We finally have the okay from the county for the septic line to be attached. (Thank you Michael S and those before him for all the time and energy you have invested in attending this task.) All we need now is for the Excavator team to show up!

Michael also reached out to get some estimates on doing a French Drain and complete do over of the parking lot. The French Drain came in at $4800, it included 300' of drain line and filled in the low area in the back corner. This has been a seasonal issue, the last two years have been wet and this year it has been dry. Not really a bad price for the work but the board voted it down for the time being.  The bid for the parking lot was for a complete re-do- and what I mean by that is we asked for a quote to have the pavement dug up and lay down a new base. It is our understanding that we never had a good base and that is why we have ongoing issues with cracking and potholes and etc. It is a low-laying area and would require such for that very reason. The bid came in at $53,900, so the board decided not to do that at this time. However we do need to be thinking about how we want to address this in the future. In the meantime we are going to reach out and get some quotes to fill the potholes then resurface and paint the lines. Hopefully we will have some better alternatives in the future.

The board voted on getting a License for Empower Music. This is where Cay has been getting a lot of the new songs that we have enjoyed with Sunday morning service or whenever you are tuning in at. It has an annual cost of $100 per year. 

The board also voted to release $1500 for Nicole to update the A/V booth with two touch screen monitors and a new camera. She has done an awesome job as a videographer and much more. Adding these items will add to the quality of production which at the time is the primary way that we interact. We also have applied for $7500 in grant money from Unity Worldwide Ministries for our Technology Upgrades that is being offered at this time through the Templeton Foundation.   We truly believe we qualify, so hold positive thoughts for it to manifest.

Rugs are getting shampooed by Kimberly this week...Thank you Kimberly!

Well that is the gist of it. I thank you all so much for your love offerings and support to our Unity Spiritual Church Centre. I also want to thank the board members for all they do, we really have a great bunch of people.

Many Blessing to All...🤗🤗🤗
~Mark Klotz


Life is like a tangled skein
Of frayed and broken ends-
Time severs many precious ties;
Parts family and friends.

But, here and there- A golden thread
Of memory appears;
Weaving, in and out among 
The ever changing years.

Time moves on-  And so do we
But, weary grow our hands;
Trying vainly to unravel
All life's tangled strands.

But happily, we shall rest
If we know one faithful friend;
And can trace that golden thread
Unbroken to the end.


~Nicole
