SOLCC How To Find Us

Sunday Service: "Giving"
This Sunday concludes our series on Giving. We will see how important it is to be a gracious receiver as well as a generous giver and why forgiveness can be one of the greatest gifts we can give others as well as ourselves.

Our affirmation is: "I am open to receiving the abundance of the Universe. I am always richly supplied with everything I need by God, my true Source. I gift forward my love, my compassion and forgiveness, and my talents and treasure every day. And so it is."

Each person will receive a special gift from the church and will receive their last G.I.F.T. (Gift It Forward Today) card. Because we won’t have cards doesn’t mean we can’t keep right on gifting the world with random acts of kindness and watch as lives are transformed through one kindness at a time.

This is the time of year that our church has many opportunities to gift others; our food drive for South County Outreach, our Christmas presents for kids affected by AIDS and our adopted Christmas family.

This Sunday is our monthly Board of Trustees meeting. If you have something you would like to present to the board, please let me or a board member know after the service. We value your input and ideas.

We will be sending everyone a summary of the Visioning items ranked by priority. I can report on one item now. When asked which of our guest musicians you would like to have back, allendale was the most requested. I’m happy to tell you that beginning July, 2009, they will be with us the first Sunday of every month through December. We would have them start earlier but they are taking a six month sabbatical beginning January, 2009.

Meditation Service: 9:45 - 9:55 a.m.

Science of Mind Classes
Our next class, The Ideas and Concepts of the Great Philosophers, will begin on September 4th. This is a second year accredited Science of Mind class and may be taken for credit or may be taken as a stand alone class for personal spiritual enrichment. It will be a six week class; the daytime class will be from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the evening class from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The cost of the course is $90.00 + the cost of the book, Basic Teachings of the Great Philosophers by S.E. Frost, Jr. Tuition may be paid in increments and scholarships are available.

As we know, it was on the thinking of these ancients that Dr. Holmes based much of the Science of Mind philosophy. During this class we will gain insights into where the foundation for our spiritual beliefs came from. Students will gain an understanding of the views of the Early Greek Philosophers as to the Nature of the Universe. We will compare the views of the early Christian Thinkers with New Thought philosophy as well as the ethical views of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle in regard to good and evil and Spinoza’s theory that everything in the Universe is actually substance or God.

The class will be held at our sister church, Golden Circle, in Santa Ana. Please register for the class by return e-mail or at church this Sunday.

The Golden Circle Church is located at 600 Golden Circle Dr.

Monday Live
Monday October 13th from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 Noon. We are currently reading A New Earth; Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle.

In his book The Power of Now, Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now”. In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering through the world. He describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

Those who have read the book before or took Oprah’s on-line class based on the book, say they’re getting new insights this second time around. So, whether you’ve read the book or not, please join us any Monday morning you can.

There is no need to purchase the book and you may come to as many or as few sessions as you like. At the end of the session, Reverend Linda does individual treatments for those wanting one, and then those who choose to, go to lunch at a local restaurant. Everyone is welcome. For location and directions, call Darlene Chadick at 949-348-762
