Child & Youth Services 11:10 AM - 1:10 PM
We have a wonderful child and family team who are eager to provide services for children (ages 2-12) each Sunday. You can drop your child off and have time to attend the meditation before the Sunday service. We are not equipped to provide infant services at this time, but we will happily find a quiet space for little ones and their caregiver.

Volunteers Needed to Help Us Move!
There’s something for everyone—sedentary or physical, behind the scenes or hands-on. We need your help to get ready for our big move!
Two volunteer teams are forming
Help decide what to bring, what to donate, organize it all, and get it packed.
Help get the new space ready by making calls to potential contractors, researching prices and vendors for things we need to buy, and decorating once the sale is final.

Spiritual Mind Treatment
Tonya Miller-Hire, RScP
Honoring the Divine Feminine Within Us All
There is One Infinite Presence—loving, creative, nurturing. I am one with this Presence. The same sacred essence that brings forth life lives in me, as me.
I accept and affirm that I carry the qualities of the Divine Mother: I listen with compassion, create with intention, and nurture what matters most. I honor all those who have mothered me, and I trust the part of me that knows how to care, to create, and to love unconditionally.
I give thanks for the wisdom of those who’ve walked before me, the love I’ve received, and the divine potential that unfolds through me each day. I am grateful for the sacred presence within all who mother the world in big and small ways.
I release this word into the Law, trusting that love is always at work, and that the Divine Feminine continues to move through me and all life.
And so it is.

Food Gift Boxes Available
Being part of a community means helping each other during times of need. It also means sometimes leaning into the community and allowing them to help when we need a hand. As we all know, food prices have increased significantly. Some of our members have been seriously affected by this. To assist, the Caring Hearts would like to discreetly provide a food gift box to anyone who may be having difficulty with these increased costs. A basket to receive donations of non-perishable food items and/or grocery store gift cards or cash will be in the Center lobby before the service. If someone would like assistance at this time, please reach out to Erica Leeds to allow our center the opportunity to support you.
