This year Easter is April 5th, and that is also the day we celebrate GGCSL’s 43rd Anniversary.
Please let us know what you plan to bring to share for the potluck, and start designing your Easter bonnet now (guys, too!) for the Easter bonnet contest. We will have prizes for the funniest, most original, most beautiful, and most creative.

On the Sundays nearest the Equinoxes and Solstices, Rev. Mary invites the practitioners to join her in facilitating these quarterly Prayer Circles following the Sunday Celebration. We will create a circle of chairs, and all congregants who want to participate in the circle will be welcome. We will join together in prayer for the Earth, our country, and for people and places we want to include that day.
The first Prayer Circle will take place on March 22nd in the sanctuary at the CMCommunity Center shortly after the Sunday Celebration.
GGCSL’s Annual Membership meeting will take place after the Celebration Service on March 15th.
A light lunch will be available for those planning to attend.
Official GGCSL members will need to sign in so we know, for the Minutes, how many members are in attendance. (Everyone is welcome to attend, but only members can vote.)
Following lunch, the meeting will begin shortly after 11:30 and will continue to 1:30 PM at the latest.
For those who want/need to attend online, here is the info to join the Zoom room for the meeting: Click here to join the meeting on Zoom at 11:30 am–ish. Meeting ID: 819 8628 9027 and Passcode: aL1hArT*
In Byron Katie’s seminal book, “Loving What Is,” she inspires people to listen to the answers they find within themselves, and to open their minds to profound, spacious, and life-transforming insights by asking four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable them to see what is troubling them in an entirely different light.
GGCSL Practioner, Karen Frost, is facilitating a book study that skillfully weaves Science of Mind principles into the author’s material that allows participants an even deeper foundation
to experiece their connection to their Divine inner wisdom. Combining these two powerful approaches invites a vivid personal transformation.
Karen’s group will be meeting on 7 Thursdays, beginning March 12th on Zoom from 3:30 – 5:00 PM
Sign-up sheets are on the Activity table.

Our monthly Guided Meditations are opportunities to relax into a meditation with only the effort of staying focused on following the verbal guidance given. It becomes a journey of imagination and faith that we take together, though each of us receives our own guidance and experience during the process, too. Join us in this gentle practice!
All are welcome, and no previous meditation experience is necessary for this free online gathering.
Have paper and pen ready to use during the meditation.
