ANNOUNCEMENTS
What Would You Give to Create Change?
What would you give to create change? Change in your life… your relationships… your Center… your world?
At CSL Nashville, we know that giving is a powerful spiritual practice. When we give from a consciousness of love, trust, and joy, we participate in the Law of Circulation, affirming that we live in a Universe that supports and multiplies our good.
We’re inviting you to make a conscious giving commitment that supports your own spiritual expansion and helps sustain our beloved community. When you give, you anchor the truth that you are abundant, that you are part of something meaningful, and that Spirit meets you every step of the way.
Make your pledge to CSLN's Pledge Campaign today and let your giving be a sacred “yes” to abundance!

CARING HEARTS CORNER
Welcome to the Caring Hearts Corner! This space is dedicated to keeping you informed about the needs in our community and how you can lend a helping hand.
Community
Dottie Uwaifo, one of our beloved practitioners, has requested continued prayer and spiritual support for her family members.
Betty Lou Carter, mother of practitioner Marietta Carter, made her transition this week. Please hold special prayers for Marietta and her family as they walk through their grief.
Team News
Caring Hearts now has a new Mission Statement and Scope of Purpose. We are increasing CSLN awareness of our team to help our community even more.
We are now using the new https://csln.breezechms.com/form/caringhearts to assist our members after reviewing their situations. All spiritual requests for help will be referred to our CSLN Practitioners. Needs beyond our scope will be referred to our Critical Resources List for assistance.
The team meets on the second Monday of every month. Our next team meeting will be via Zoom on Monday, April 14th.
Mission Statement
“The Caring Hearts Team supports CSLN members with compassionate visits, phone calls, and essential community services during times of need.”
Scope
The Caring Hearts team’s scope of service is meant to help CSLN members with needs encompassing the following:

- Post-surgery pick up and delivery of groceries or medications (Limited time)
- Emotional support phone call

Critical Resources List
We now have a critical resources list to assist CSLN members in finding the help they need! This list includes local resources for emergent situations addressing crisis events, and everyday support for needs such as utility assistance, mental health support, medical and transportation assistance, and many other categories. This array of services is primarily under the umbrella of United Way's 211 information line. Anyone can access this to help themselves or others. Our critical resources list is now available on our website under: About Us > Teams > Caring Hearts Corner. Click the download button for the PDF.
Referral Form
In order to make helping our community even easier, we now have a direct way to refer CSLN members to Caring Hearts for short-term help.

The referral form is at the following web address: https://csln.breezechms.com/form/caringhearts

You don’t need to be part of the Caring Hearts team to assist. Any support is appreciated! We’ll continue to share updates about our plans, member requests, and other ways you can serve.

BOOKSTORE BUZZ
Have you been to the bookstore lately?
It’s on the right side of the sanctuary, in the same space as the classroom. It’s open after the service, until at least 1:30. Remember, you can also donate using your credit or debit card in the bookstore!
We still have copies of Candy Paull’s books, which would make great Easter gifts. She wrote several books on the Art of Life: The Art of Encouragement, The Art of Abundance, and The Art of Simplicity. If you are finding life stressful, her book Finding Serenity in Times of Stress is available in hardback, paperback and CD. There are also her books on 101 Ways to Live a Better Life. Come look before they’re all gone!
We have the Science of Mind textbook, Dr. Holmes’ commentary on the textbook, Living the Science of Mind, and another well-loved book by our founder, This Thing Called You. We have Dennis Merritt Jones’ book, How to Speak Science of Mind, and you can also pick up the Science of Mind magazine. We also have a variety of related books available by other authors.
If there is another book you would like to have available in the bookstore, feel free to leave a suggestion.

| | | SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Dale Rogers, RScP
I’m taking a moment to relax.
settling into my body… my feelings.
I’m aware of my breath, of its rhythm.
.. of my thoughts, of their rhythm.
I’m aware of them, watching them, being with them without judgment.
That part of me that is witnessing…
is Spirit.
I know there is one presence, one infinite intelligence,
one thing behind all that is.
Nothing exists outside this wholeness,
for it is the source and substance of everything.
In this realization,
I know that I am it.
Not all of it, but an essential part of it.
If I wasn’t essential, I would not exist.
I know that everything I desire to experience has its cost. Whether that cost is financial, time, or a change in my consciousness. I gladly give up what gets in the way of my good in exchange for that which fulfills it. I gladly pay that price.
Thank you, Universe. Thank you for the good that is mine now.
I release my words and desires into the law of mind,
knowing that here and now, they are done.
And so, it is.
