We are so pleased with the success of our online meetings, and we appreciate the effort you make to join us each week and all the ways you continue to support CSL Midtown. As a spiritual community, we are eager to meet back in person for our Sunday Celebration services. We miss you! As the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to unfold, the safety of our community members, visitors, and staff is our highest priority. While we affirm and know nothing but perfect health and wholeness for all of you, we are not willing to risk possible infection spread by holding face to face gatherings. Because of this, we have made the decision to suspend in-person services for the remainder of 2020. As disappointing as this seems, we are excited to provide virtual services on Zoom and Facebook Live! Rev Dr Bob Deen and the Board of Trustees are currently exploring ideas to improve our online experience. We welcome your ideas and feedback, and look forward to serving you in even more creative ways. We believe this is an opportunity for CSL Midtown to grow and thrive in new and unexpected ways—let us see who we become! Communication is the key to making this work!

Join us as we continue the CSL Home Office’s program that walks through the SOM textbook with the goal of firmly grounding all followers in the SOM philosophy. Due to COVID-19 closures, our talks will be online via Zoom at our usual time of 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Oct 4: Just Like Me – Knowing that we are each a reflection of the Infinite Self, we can move towards an understanding that everyone around us reflects ourselves. And just like me, everyone is doing the best they can, with what they have, in the time that they have. When we can find compassion for ourselves in doing the best that we can, we are able to transfer our compassion to those around us.
Affirmation: Today I reflect all of God’s Good outwardly so that each person I meet can have the same experience of Good through me.
Introductory video from Rev. Viljoen.
Oct 11: Inextricably Connected – We are inseparable from God. The one bridge that links all of life together is the Divine Intelligence that is back of all things. It is in our nature to be in community, to feel connected and to establish a sense of belonging. What can we do to release barriers of being connected?
Affirmation: God is! I Am! We Are!
Introductory video from Rev. Viljoen.
Oct 18: Bridge Over Troubled Water, Guest Speaker Rev Cynthia McCarthy – Forgiveness is healing. There are many cultures that do healing and forgiveness work together as a community. Because we are inextricably connected, and reflections of the Divine, how do we become the bridge over troubled waters for our personal healing and the healing of our communities? How can we build bridges of unconditional acceptance for one another and for ourselves?
Affirmation: I am whole. I am healed. I am loved. I forgive and I am forgiven.”
Introductory video from Rev. Viljoen.
Oct 25: Bridges That Last – Think of the world’s oldest bridges. What makes them last through the test of time? A good foundation, the right materials, an engineer inspired to build something that will last for centuries. The same can be said for building lasting, heart-felt and healthy relationships. Building bridges that last is the process of creating sustainable, collaborative community partnerships. Building a bridge for a world that works for everyone.
Affirmation: I am an important part of the whole in a world that works for everyone. Who I am makes a difference.
Introductory video from Rev. Viljoen.
